I am in the great state of Missouri and I can't believe I'm saying this but I am LoViNG it right now! We're in a really cute part of town and had dinner outside on the patio. It kind of reminds me of Paris!! It is amazing to be in a place where it actually cools down at night!
We have meetings tomorrow and Wednesday but I am going to make sure to get up and run around Forest park. I haven't run in months because it is always soooo hot. Gotta love Arizona in the summertime...:)
I hope you all can get a kick out of this! Because I sure did.
So on Sunday, this guy text me and was wanting to get together. He seems fairly impressive on paper, and I have only met him once, but after a bunch of texts Fri-Sun, Sunday night he asked me when we could get together. I told him I would have to check my schedule and get back to him.
To which he texts me:
"Alright I'm off to bed. Well let me know when I have to put up with ya."
PUT UP WITH ME?
Oh gosh.
So I didn't respond.
Then he text me on Wednesday to ask to me to play tennis with him, his buddy and his buddy's wife.
I couldn't, so I turned him down. I said, "I'd need a practice round on you first!"
and he said," Fair nuf. Well you say when, smokey."
Me: "Well how about Saturday?"
Him: "Night or day?"
Me: "Night" (I'm thinking we're talking about a real date, not just tennis.) Mind you this is a BIG deal for me to offer up a weekend night to a guy for a first date! Remember - he looks GREAT on paper.
Him: "You really think you deserve to monopolize my Saturday night?"
EXCUSE ME?? Oh. My. Gosh. What a jerk!
If there is one thing that is a COMPLETE turn off for me it is arrogance. I dated a guy who was arrogant before and I have ZERO tolerance for it!
So my response: "Wow. You know what? I'm good with us not going out ever..."
His response: "Hahahaha I'm playing!"
"I would be more than happy to have you monopolize my Saturday night, ma'am."
Well... I wasn't playing. And I was completely turned off. So I didn't respond.
What a dufus.
And then today, this song below popped up on my shuffle today, and it's kind of ironic!
It reminded me of the dufuses that I have been going on dates with. (There are a couple good ones, just maybe not the right one for me.)
AND I am sitting here at home thinking about how all I want to do is stay home! Nothing is going on and after a week of work, I'm kind of worthless on a Friday.
AND the first line of the song is "staying home alone on a Friday..." :)
As a single girl - I definitely relate to this song! I'm not super lonely, but I AM tired of being alone! I'm ready for love to hurry up and get here! :)
To be honest, I don't typically get excited to go home to UT. I am not quite sure why, but I have always been the type that when I move forward, I don't really like to move backward.
BUT. I LOOOVE Utah in the Summertime! There is NOTHING better! The mountains are green, the weather is warm, but cools down at night. (Not so here in AZ - 105' at 9 PM last night.)
Plus it's the 4th of July which is one of my favorite Holidays! We'll be spending that in Park City.
First Stop - MISSOURI. St. Louis and Kansas City for work, then straight on to SLC!
I think I'm going to need a Snoasis when I get there....:) Anyone remember those?!
Tuesday night I went to MY happiest place on earth, the temple.
There really is no other place where I feel so much peace, and God's love for me so strongly than the temple. Right when I walked in the hymn "Be Still My Soul" was playing and it really just hit me that I need to be still and trust in Him. He truly always has guided my life and loves me so much. He has answered my prayers about numerous things that have guided me to where I am now. From helping me know where I should go to school, blessing me with success with dance stuff and enabling my career so far, it has all been because of my Heavenly Father.
I am so incredibly grateful.
I am anxious for change in my life right now. 4 years in one place is a long time! And I am ready to move. But I have to be patient and trust that it will all happen in His time, which is the RIGHT time.
And so for now, I am working on enjoying each day and just being STILL.
