The "D" word.

Dates!

Yes, as some of you may know, I've been going on quite a few random dates recently! It seems like just out of nowhere, between last month and this month, bam! Dates! Here are some of my dating adventures..

Last month, for a date, I went on a hike up waterfall canyon in Ogden one Saturday morning. I really love that hike. He took me to lunch afterwards at Gandolfos too. It was yummy.

Another date I went on was going four wheeling up farmington canyon. We went to the top of the mountain and found his house through a little scope. It was my first time four wheeling and it was really fun! Then we roasted some stuff over a fire later.

A "DID" (date in disguise) with a friend of mine.. We went and got slurpees and then watched I Am Legend... Well, we ended up talking over the movie of course. Oh, we played some old school donkey kong randomly too after the movie. I love hanging out with him. He is hilarious.

And, then just last night I went on another date! Bowling! We bowled 3 games. Right when we got there, the leagues were ending, so we started bowling and then it seemed like just about everyone else left! I had lots of fun! We're thinking of doing something later this week again, but we don't know.

It has been pretty random, but I have had lots of fun. All of those were with different guys too... I seem to scare most of them away after the first date! haha. :-)

Please and Thank You

Okay, one of my favorite shows is Time Warp! It's on the discovery channel and on the show they take everyday, or very extreme things, events, happenings, whatever you want to call it and record them then show them in the slowest of slow motion possible. It is so fascinating to me. All of the episodes are great.

Well, it is just another slow day at work with not much to do. Low and behold I found an entire episode of Time Warp dedicated to germs, which brings me to my own germ paranoia...
My paranoia about putting the lid down on the toilet when I flush it and I hate it when people don't. People make fun of me for it or think I'm crazy, but it is not just some weird quirk people! I first read about this in some magazine a couple years ago that the contents spread something like a 4 ft radius when it's being flushed, which has grossed me out ever since... and now I have proof in this video for my being grossed out. Please, put the lid down on the toilet seat before you flush it, at least when you use my bathroom, so the things on my counter and my towels stay nice and clean. Thanks.

Go to the link, and it is third video down. And while you're at it, check the other videos out too and the other episodes. It is an awesome show! I don't think I've watched an episode that I have not been amazed at something they did on it.

My other home!

My blog has been pretty quiet lately... the last post I did was basically TWO months ago! It is sort of crazy. I haven't been doing a whole lot or anything, just work. Go to work, come home... I've gone on a few dates this past month, and they were really fun. Don't hold your breath though, nothing's gonna happen with any of them.
This past week, I found out that Thomas will officially be home on December 29th. 3 months! It will go by fast. Considering I haven't written a blog post in two whole months... haha. I think I can handle three. But, I also have some more news!
I am going back to my home away from home of Cedar City! WOO! I am so excited about it! Last Monday I was just feeling down, and in a rut about life. The previous week was just a very horrible week for me. I don't know what it was, but everything seemed to go wrong! It was stressful at work and I just felt so lonely at home. Everything felt out of place in my life. I had been praying for some direction and peace in my life because I just had this sense of being lost in the world.
After talking a bit with my mom I decided I would go back to SUU in the spring. I felt so strongly about it, that I just was prompted to reapply right then, last monday. So I did it! I realize after the fact that if I hadn't done it right then, I probably would've talked myself out of it, so I am glad I followed that prompting because it just feels so right for me.
Crazy, shocking, yes... But nevertheless, I'm gonna do it! :-) And I can't wait! Unfortunately, the spring semester classes start on January 4th (not even a week after Thomas gets home), but it will be okay. We will still be able to talk on the phone and see each other on weekends here and there. Which is 100% more than what we've been living with. I think it will be good for us to ease back into things and see what happens. We are taking a more cautious approach to things now that the reality of things are setting in and that he is going to be home so soon. But, I am still really excited about being back at SUU and about having him back in Utah.
I've got my major as a Bachelor in Nutrition. I haven't locked in a minor yet, but I'm leaning towards either child development or business management. I also figure that even if I'm only there for this spring semester and don't get my Bachelor's there, I will get my associates of generals (I only have 10 cerdits to get that) and then I'll be able to transfer anywhere in Utah a lot easier. I just feel really good about everything now and I am so excited!
I went down to Cedar this past weekend for conference and I realized how much I really do miss it there. I can't wait to be back for school! I am now in the process of finding a place to live and waiting for the registration date and just figuring out all of the hows and whats.
