A few more details

So, what I didn't mention was a little more detail on the talking to Digger after the date part. Yeah, we talked for a few minutes, he knew at that point that I was not feeling super great and told me not to go to Salt Lake on Sunday morning (I was supposed to say good bye to a friend that is moved back to Texas) and I told him I wouldn't go if I still didn't feel well. He really didn't want me to go, kept telling me it wasn't worth it. Then he asked if I was coming to church, and I said I probably wouldn't if I didn't feel well, and he said if he didn't see me at church that he would call me after and make sure I was doing alright. And....he did call. He's a very sweet guy. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. I was reading in my journal yesterday from when I first started writing about him, which was a good 2 or 3 months after I met him...more of the trying not to jinx it, I think. And, its really nice to see that I still think the same of him that I did then. I still think he's a very genuine guy, he is generally very hilarious, when I talk to him, I feel better about myself, and I generally walk away wanting to be a better person...he brings out the best in me-I LOVE that. He's very outgoing (although, apparently he's only outgoing to people he knows...a bunch of my friends say he's never talked to them...but they haven't talked to him either...) and he cares, even if its just a little bit, about me. I say this because he called on Sunday when he didn't have to. He's asked several times if there's anything he can do to help me, and I really like that about him. BUT, having said all that, I am still not getting my hopes up. He cares, and I love it, and that is where things end. Right now, that's all that matters.

The Moment You've ALL Been Waiting For....

So...the big date has come and gone! I meant to post earlier, but I will explain why I didn't. So, we were supposed to go to Midway to see the ice castles, but it was snowing a lot up the canyon and we decided not to risk it. So, instead we made pizza at my house and then went to my brother's house to play games! It was a lot of fun and we got to chat and get to know each other better. I had worked an 8 hour shift at my second job that morning and had felt great. As I was getting ready, I kind of felt like I might be starting to get something, but didn't think anything of it and assumed it was just me freaking out or something...yeah, no. About half way through the evening I'm pretty sure I had a really awesome fever. It sucked! So, all through playing games I totally felt like I was going to die. So, the evening came to close and the other couple left and I got to talk to Digger for a few minutes, which was awesome! And then he went home and I woke up Sunday to feeling like I got hit by a bus...which is why I haven't posted until today! So, I hope you enjoyed my very brief summary of the evening! Sorry its not super detailed, but I still kind of feel under the weather and actually called in sick to both my jobs to just be sure I can feel better tomorrow.

Starting to get excited/freak out a little bit

Soooooooo.....that date with Digger....after MUCH effort the date has finally been rescheduled! HOORAY!!! AND, completely modified. The original plan was pizza and games at my house...but now we are going to Midaway where they have full size ice castles. I told Digger the plan and he was very excited to go. I'm just so excited! I will fill you all in after I actually go on the date...I'm trying to not jinx it or anything, because I REALLY REALLY want this date to go well! I am so excited to actually get to talk to Digger away from church, not on the phone, and for more than 30 minutes. AND, I will get to ask the questions this time. He has a habit of always asking me questions about myself, but not really elaborating much about himself. I do know that he is from Dallas, there are 7 kids in his family. He has compared my cooking to his mom's in a good way, he tells me on a fairly regular basis that I am either sweet or amazing...I don't really mind being called either. He uses words like "absolutely", "amazing", "wonderful", and "fantastic" about as often as I do, which I didn't think was possible. And, there is this sparkle in his eyes when he smiles that I absolutely love. I know, I know, I've got it bad for this boy...and I probably do. I've been fighting it hard to no avail. I even told Heavenly Father that I didn't want anything to do with Digger...however, as we can all see that didn't really happen. I worry a lot that I am just getting my hopes up and that they will get dashed to pieces. I try to stay calm and collected and not think about Digger very often. I am trying to focus on everything else in my life, and sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. For now, I'm just looking forward to this date. I am excited to get to know Digger better, and I know its going to be so much fun! Wish me luck, and prayers on my behalf are ALWAYS welcome!!! :)

Supposed to be....

I'm supposed to be super excited and kind of freaking out right now. But, I'm not. And why, you may ask? Because the date I was supposed to be going on tonight had to be rescheduled. The date with the man of my dreams had to be rescheduled! Bleh. I am more than a little disappointed. Stupid life, getting in my way! I hate it. BUT, at least it didn't get canceled...just postponed. And Digger still wants to go with me, which I am looking at as a positive thing here. I am going to go out on a little limb here and say that I think he may like me a little bit...lately its just seemed that way. Maybe I'm completely wrong and reading into everything way too much, like a true girl. But for now, I am going to go finish my stupid Propaganda homework, because apparently it doesn't finish itself...who knew?

Birthday fun!!

My birthday fell on Superbowl Sunday this year, so I decided that my actual birthday would be spent with my family as we are not big football watching people. So, the day before my birthday I spent with friends pretending it was my actual birthday! HOORAY!! I created the event on facebook, told all my friends that I wanted to come that I wanted them to come, and of everyone I invited (which was like 50 people or something) I really really REALLY wanted 4 particular friends there. Just 4 specific people, is that so much to ask? I don't think so, and they are the best of the best, you know? The day of the party arrived and tons of people were showing up, which was fun, but of those 4 people that I really wanted there, only 1 of them came. Just one of the four. SERIOUSLY. I was more than a little bummed. But, I made the best of it and had a fun night any way.
    My birthday has now passed, and I am the big 26! Hooray! I am officially closer to 30 than 20 now. That should scare me, but it doesn't. I think this year is going to be amazing. I just have this feeling that good things are about to happen in my life. I love it! Also, I have a super busy and productive week that should be amazing! I will blog about my week later though because I am supposed to be studying for my American Popular Music midterm that I have tomorrow. Wish me luck!!
     Oh, and my brother thought it would be awesome to give me a Jane Austen book for my birthday...do you know what he got me? Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. For real! I laughed so hard. It was awesome. He's a great brother. Also, I have to give a shout out to my sister in law for making my AMAZING cake, pictures of which I will post later! The cake was amazing, I looked amazing on my birthday and it was an all around great time with my family! I have a fantastically amazing family that always comes together to help celebrate the best of times! I love you all!!
