Content ♥

It's very seldom when I feel content, happy, blissful and just overall delight.

Had a very lovely evening and an hour of superb conversation.

I know I will miss these conversations immensely in the next several months. More than that, I will miss this friend tremendously.

Have you ever met someone and as you've gotten to know them, they're nothing like what you first thought. I know I had that happened with my best friend StephyPooh, but I feel that way with this friend. When I first came across him, I thought he was just a pretty face and could possibly be a jerk. I'll be the first to say that he is NOT a jerk in the least bit, he's still a pretty face, but there's so much depth to him. I love this friend dearly and the way I've allowed myself to trust him completely. He's more than I could have ever asked for or wanted. I'll forever be grateful to have met him. I'm sad that he'll be gone until mid-summer due to work. I know I'll feel quite sad and lonely, just because I value our friendship, what it's become and how much I absolutely enjoy our conversations. I'll miss him....a lot.

Taking "crazy" to a whole new level.....

Two things....

1. I'm doing Lent this year. I figured since I would be experiencing a Passover dinner on April 19, why not try something else as well. I've always heard about Lent from my Catholic friends, so I figured I'd try it because I think it's good to experience new things. One of the two things that I'm giving up is pizza. I LOOOOOOVE PIZZA. Everyone who knows me, knows I love pizza. The other thing I'm giving up is on a personal level. I'm excited for Lent. Which also means fish on Fridays. I'm cool with fish, I'll just have to remember. This is all new to me. Speaking of fish.....

2. "Jonah TheFish" has his own Facebook account now. I know, I think I'm crazy now. I did it as a joke with a friend, but now I think it's just hilarious. It's funny because "his" friends will even write on his FB wall. So that also goes to show that I'm not the only crazy one around here....

HAPPY ASH WEDNESDAY!! :)

The "Chips Ahoy cannot be breakfast" post.

Soooooo......

1. Montana...oh Montana. Such a sweet guy!! I'm amazed when someone actually likes me. I mean, beyond the point of "You're such a cool friend". I just wish he didn't live so far. I know 45 minutes is not far, but it is when you want to see that person, A LOT.

2. I think I'm coming down with a cold.....from Montana. He woke up sick yesterday and I woke up sick today. No bueno. I've got lunch with an old friend today, so I'm TRYING to get feeling better by 1pm.

3. Today is Buddy's first Volleyball game. I'm so excited for him!!! I can't wait to watch it!! He's such a cool kid!! I can't help but love him just as much as he frustrates me.

4. Not too sure why I'm numbering all of these randimonium lines.

5. Hung out with Beemer last night. Really nice guy. Fun times. So we'll see what happens with him. Yes I still like Montana, but Beemer lives so much closer. Hey, I haven't committed myself to either, so I'm just having fun for now.....

6. I saw Hermanita's Mama last night. Oh I miss Hermanita so much, but I love her family!

7. Happy Monday!!

The "I did my homework and went on a date" blog post.

I had a wonderful time tonight....ok, ok, a really REALLY great time.

Montana was just as great and wonderful as he has been the last several times we've talked. It was so nice spending time with him in person.

We went to La Bella's and I had the Manicotti and he ordered the Chicken Fettucini Alfredo (I really wanted that but I thought it'd be odd to get the same thing.). He ate fast and was finished before I was even half way finished. He ended up watching me eat. I wasn't necessarily nervous or self conscious...I just kept wondering what was going thru his mind. He was so cute when the check came, I asked him how much it was while I pulled my wallet out. While still holding the bill he said, "I don't remember" and handed it over with his credit card to our server.

I excused myself to the restroom to wash my hands and freshen up my lip gloss. As we were walking out of the restaurant, he stopped me to kick a paper towel from my shoe :-/ The funny thing is that I wasn't embarrassed at all, nor did he make a big deal out of it.

We left and drove over the Coronado Bridge to the Ferry Landing. We talked for a while and it was great getting to know him. He's such a sweet guy. The whole time he kept worrying if I liked him--TOO. CUTE.!!! Usually, I'm the worry wart, so it was nice to see a man doing the worrying this time around.

Montana's such a wonderful man, totally sweet and generous! We talked about going out again, but since he lives about 45 minutes from me, it's a little difficult...especially with his work hours. We talked about going out next weekend, but we'll see since I've got several plans already. I can't wait to see him again, seriously SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SWEET!!!

The "I should be doing my homework" blog post....

I should be doing my homework.....but I get ADD sometimes.

Plus, I didn't blog yesterday....

I have a date tonight. Kinda excited, kinda nervous.....ya know, my typical "date" feelings.

He's a really nice guy and pretty quick witted (which is a TOTAL plus in my book). We're going to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner--La Bella's. I know I just went there last Saturday with my sister, but I can't help it....the food there is just too good!! I think I'll have the Chicken Fettucini Alfredo. It's so good and it's a definite 'comfort food'. I usually get the Manicotti, but I think I'll change it up tonight. I like La Bella's and have always wanted to go there on a first date. It has a cute, cozy and quaint feel about it. There's something simple and romantic about it. After dinner, we're heading over to the Ferry Landing in Coronado. Oh I love that place! Two of my favorite places in one night....I'm pretty stoked.

I love when my Thursday is...

Wednesday + Free time = This Blog Post

Hello my dear friend Randi......

*I think I actually like pink...as girly as that is. I have a love/hate relationship with the color.

*Man, I'm hungry!

*I've had the wonderful blessing of hangin out with Mama McK the last 2 days. She has truly been an enormous gift to my life! She's been like a second mother to me, these last few months. I will be so heartbroken when her and her husband's mission ends in July. That is something we try not to talk about around Institute.

*I'm so stoked for my youngest nephew to start his Volleyball season at school. I can't wait to watch Buddy play some Vball!! I can't wait to support him thru his Vball season. He's such a good kid. I think he has so much potential for greatness. I love him dearly.

*In a matter of months his older brother will be back from his misison. Oh I cannot wait!! It's been so long!!

*Man, I'm not looking forward to the next 19 days to go by :(

*School's going pretty well. Something I learned from Mama McK that the way to get through college is to do all the assignments, which will pass the class. And then pass all the classes I need and that's who I'll graduate from school. When it's broken down like that, it doesn't seem so overwhelming. I've just got to keep in mind that I'm working towards my dream. It's going to take WORK.

*I can't believe it's MARCH already?!?! Where is the time going?!?!
