We tried something new.

We were bored.

I wanted to take pictures of the lightening.

It didn't work out.

I asked Tam to do something cool.

This is what she came up with.

You see we've been kinda obsessed with the Lord of the Rings lately.

I guess thats what happens when you watch all of the extended versions and eagerly awaiting The Hobbit.

I prayed for a social experience.
I was hoping one with a good looking guy.
Tam has class after institute. I don't.
I decided to hang in the institute building this time around to waste a little time.
So get this, I'm sittin' on the couch watching the CES fireside and one of the institute teachers comes up to me. I had my earphones in. She motioned to her ears and mouths "can you hear me?"
hahahaha i don't know why i still think thats so funny but i do.
I paused my spiritual moment and said yes.
She started to tell me about her dating and courtship class and how she has like 20 boys and only 10 girls.
She proceeded to tell me about how she was doing speed dating for her lesson.
Clever Heavenly Father.
I excepted her request.
It was fun to say the least.
i thought one boy was cute until i stood up and realized he was 4 inches short than i was.
nothing against short men. in fact they should marry tall women so they can balance out the next generation.
haha i kill myself.
The best part was after class one of the boys came up to me and started talking about something completely random. Asking questions like I knew the answer.
Shortly after seeing my blank face he realized that he had mistaken me for another girl he had talked to.
To put it lightly he was embarrassed and walked away.
i would be to. i would be to.

Hey Hey Hey

I've deleted over 100 friends on facebook.

i should have deleted more but frankly I like to stalk the ones i didn't.

I want to fly some where i've never been preferably New York or Hawaii.

Am I always talkin about those two places in particular?

Yep. One day i'll buy a one way ticket.

This next summer.

I wish I had a story to tell.

I went to the institute dance

I painted a UVU shirt just for the occasion.

There were a lot of people there.

We danced like crazy just us two. 

We were asked to dance every slow dance we didn't run from.

am i 12? Yes.

Then some handsome men came in. 

four of them.

they said hi.

we liked them. 

they followed us around the dance floor from afar.

we didn't talk.

We left, mostly because I was asked to slow dance by some what of a forty year old with bad facial hair, they walked out right behind us.

Walking to our cars they yelled goodbye.

I'm still regretting it.

i should have said something to them.

they were gorgeous and now were at home empty handed.

what do i have to lose...nothing.

in fact without saying something i already have.

ward prayer

So we've had this stalker, tam and i.

I really shouldn't call him a stalker cause he's not all there, but quite frankly he is.

He called tambam 8 times one sunday.

She didn't answer.

He left messages instead. Asking out on date messages.

He does this to every girl.

He gets their phone numbers asks them if they have a boyfriend then asks them out repeatedly.

He's done this to tam several time and she keeps getting out of it, probably since she lied about having a boy toy (does that sound naughty?) in St. Geezy.

What a bum.

Moving on to ward stare.

He came.

He hardly ever comes. Thank goodness.

But this time he did. I was avoiding him, which is not easy.

Hence the reason why it didn't work. 

He appeared in my group of friends.

He asked if he could have my cell phone number and whipped out his little bitty note pad and pen.

I told him no, but he could have my home phone.

He asked me what was wrong with my cell phone. 

I told him it blacks out.

It does, i'm not a liar.

I then ignored him and started talking to my friends. The ones that were secretly laughing or not so much.

He vanished and reappeared behind me.

He asked me if i'd like to go on a date sometime.

I said no, I don't think so. 

I don't have a soul.

He then asked me "are you saying no you don't want to go on a date?"

"No thanks."

"Are you just too busy?"

"Yeah I guess, with school starting up and with work."

He was upset. I don't think he's ever been turned down before.

He was just holding another girls hand a week ago.

Honestly.

Oh No

My life is over as I now know it.

You see, 

I thought that I'd be social, bad idea.

Bad idea.

Bad idea.

One more time...

BAD IDEA.

This nifty little list was going around Relief Society the other sunday. 

It was my destiny list.

Joking.

It was a list to sign up for a ward date night. Fun huh? No. I let it pass, I didn't want to go on a simple yet awkward date with anyone in my ward. Especially since most of the normal ones moved out for the summer. 

Now are you getting my drift? Let me go on my friends...

So it comes back around the third time. I ripped it from my friends hands with frustration and sign my itty bitty name on that list, with a word of caution "call me if you dare."

Then I passed it on to Tambam she signed and pointed an arrow to my comment "Ditto". 

It was perfect.

I wasn't worried, I mean what were the odds that I'd be paired with someone I disapproved of, especially since it was "completely" random? 

My bum completely random.

I forgot about that stinkin' sign up sheet until the next sunday.

It went around again and I almost crossed out, no scribbled my name out to the point where the paper would be torn. I knew it was the spirit warning me, I didn't listen thinking it was my personal instinct.

At ward prayer they handed out the slips of paper to the boys, which had their womans' names written on them. Little did I know at this point I was on my death bed. I ignored the excitement and went to talk to my dear awesome friends. Then this boy, this boy, comes up to one of my friends, shows him his paper, snickers, and runs off, what a kid. I turned to him..my friend that is..and knew that it was me, he nodded to confirm my suspicion. He warned me earlier that it might be so. I was half expecting it. Then I died.

He's calling me at nine o' clock. My friend warned me.

I thought about ditching out, and then I thought about making his life miserable. hehe

I'm over it.

I knew it.

She showed, her stinkin' little face showed.

Crushin'

I think I might have a little crush. Shut the front door. It's the truth.
One problem, the Snitchel.
You see, today was gonna be the day, he was gonna sit by me, we were gonna talk, and we were gonna like it. There were no two ways about it.
We talked a bit before combined Relief Society and Priesthood.
I was waiting for the classes to exit out of their rooms, after I rang the bells.
Yes, I am the bell ringer, don't be jealous, it's hard work.
We traveled to the Chapel where class was to be held. We were to have the "big" talk.
You know the "big" talk. Dating. Marriage. Eternal Families.
Perfect.
I sat down.
He walked up to my row and continued on.
I looked back and he looked at me.
I pointed to the seat next to me, he smiled and came back my way. I saved it for him, and I told him so.
We were talking and laughing, just as planned.
Then here comes the Snitchel.
You know the girl that doesn't like you, and takes your men away.
Yeah it's happened several times now, and she's on the prowl again.
She came and stood right there. Just standing there waiting. Looking at us.
He asked if she would like to take a seat, as he scooted closer to me. She responded with a rough no.
She was mad. I was happy.
She kept standing, he kept insisting.
"only if you move over that way."
Don't give in. Looks at me. He scoots away. She sits down between us.
I was flaming mad, not that I showed it. I reached for my Scriptures and started to read to release the anger.
We still talked, not like we were supposed to. Snitch acted like we were best friends, I ignored her. After church we talked more, well Snitchel had to introduced him to all of her friends first.
He asked if he would see me at ward prayer.
I just pray that Snitchel won't show.

-3-D design class wire girl. She got me good. Clipped a piece that shot right to my neck. 

I must not have been coherent, I came to after staring at her for 30 seconds, she asked me if I was okay....

Silence, keep staring Kimberly that's the way to make friends. 

-"Lost in Austen" where Darcy comes rising out of the water like a creep!

-I saw "one of those" yesterday, wasn't that fun.

-Trying on Glasses, "excuse me, mam, you're in the men's glasses."
"Yeah, I know."
That's right walk away, while I silently walk over to the women's. It's fine.

-Luke's work pants. Man you are stylish. Like way stylish.

Thank you grandpa for making my life!

Blind Date.

& he was a goober.

Super cheese, but super cute.

What more can I say about this kid. 

We played mini golf and when it started drizzling on our little heads he politely told me that we could go inside for a moment to wait until the rain stopped. I politely declined and told him that I'd rather play in the rain. He agreed.

Then after that fine game of mini. Off we went to partake of Yogurtland. 

Only the best frozen yogurt place. We talked and talked and talked.

Until he dropped me off...at 9 o'clock. 

He must of liked me a lot.

I thought we had fun (wink, wink).

Luckily I had friends waiting for me. We ended out being detectives and good ones I might add; although Dan did most of the work. He should be a secret agent. Like me, oh but you wouldn't know that because its a secret.

So this is how it went down. This kiddo Ab ended out having a gnarly crash on his long board.

Didn't know where he was, what happened to him, and kept repeating the same five sentences every five minutes. We didn't know exactly what happened or how it came to be, but all we knew is that we were gonna find out. We went across...about half of our little town finding out what was what. We talked with several people. & eventually we got pretty much the whole story.

Ab was just chillin' with some friends and went boarding down a hill, got some major speed wobbles (repeated twenty times at LEAST) and decided that the ground looked nice and comfy. After getting bloodied up his friend, Jason (we paid him a little visit), called his (Jasons) mom to come pick them up. Mother came, dropped Ab off at home by his little lonesome with amnesia (what kind of mother?)! Ab found his way over to the neighbors (but he couldn't remember that). They cleaned him up, called his parents, and waited with him until they arrived (all the way from Salt Lake). 

All we found out as detectives that we were not fond of some people in our quaint town.

Hello.

Mr. Bryce, my dog isn't scary. Infact she's kinda cute. Don'tcha think so?

After ward prayer on Sunday, we headed home with our girls. Inviting some boys from our ward to come join our society of foxy females mingling. We played Disney Scene it the 2nd edition. It got a little intense. Of course myself and Mr. Jack creamed won the others, but Ms. Lauren and Ms. Kac were a close second. Mr. Dan and Ms. Tam had no hope, sorry you two, it's the truth, but moving nine spaces was legit in your case. Mr. Bryce showed up a little later with his girl. After the domination we ate cake, m&m's and talked about the good ol' times mostly. Thanks for pow wowing with me!
