How we met!



I am now dating the boy I talked about from a couple of posts ago. Do you recall my embarrasssing moment? Things are going really great with him. I really enjoy being with him. You might ask how did we meet. Well I will tell you. About three years ago he was in my ward. He came up to one week and introduced himself saying, "Hi I'm Todd Whats your name?" This continued to happen for 8 weeks in a row at church. I think I one point I came home and told my mom that there was this crazy guy who kept introducing himself to me and that he couldn't remember my name. At the time I had my missionary and he was dating a girl from my ward/my old babysitter. He knew I had a missionary. Then he moved out of my ward. I didn't see him except for occasionally country dancing. At one point when I saw him dancing I thought he was kind of cute. But I think I have a million crushes so that kinda passed me by. Fast forward to three months ago. I went on a ysa temple trip with my ward. I spent the week with his sister Michelle. On the trip she kept saying "You should go out with my brother." I just laughed and said I will if he asks me. This continued after the trip. She would come up in church and say "You should go out with my brother." Everytime I would just laugh it off. I guess she was saying the same thing to him. All he would say is "Kayla is really cute." One Saturday night after a long day at a family reunion. My friend Josh wanted me to come to a pool party. I didn't really want to go but I didn't want to be lame at home so I went. I almost didn't go though. I felt so stupid at this party because I didn't know anyone. I felt like Josh's girlfriend. Luckily Todd was there. But when I got there he was in the pool. I almost left earlier than I did. I was going to have my friend Brady come get me. Luckily Brady was stuck at his grandma's and couldn't come get me. Todd got out of the pool so I went to talk to him. I felt much better now that I was talking to him and not tagging along while Josh hit on girls. Well that was that and I thought nothing of it. At church I did tell Michelle that I saw Todd last night. So of course once again she was like "You should go out with Todd." That night was the Weber State Fireworks. He asked me to go to the Fireworks with him. I didn't think much of it. I think I still thought he was a little weird. I thought I would go on a date with him to make his sister happy and that would be it. Nope boy was I wrong. Yeah I started to like him at the fireworks that night. Yes it has been less than 3 weeks. It has been moving fast but I am loving it and I really like being with him.

I Miss Sam!

Here it is 1 o clock in the morning. I can't sleep and my emoitions are all over the place. This week I have been missing Sam. I love that she is on a mission and I know what she is doing is right. I just miss her. Is that bad? I have been doing really good with Sam gone. I only cried when we said goodbye. This past week i have broken down a couple times. I guess there has been some stuff that I need my best friend for. Only she can make me feel better.

Most Embarrassing moment of my life!

Before I tell you my most embarrassing moment. I must tell you others things before. I have been meaning to blog about this for a while but haven't had time. Ok so my last post is on Devin and how I liked him. Yeah thats no more. I realized that Devin wasn't ever going to like me for me (except as a friend) So I decided to move on. I hadn't been on a date in a long while and was kinda missing going on dates and getting all cute for boys. I wasn't really expecting anything at all. I had some friends who wanted to set me up. I was all for that. A couple of weeks ago I went to this party with my friend Josh. I had just gotten back from a family reunion, I smelled like fish water, my hair was pulled back due to the grossness of the fish water, and I had no make up on. I almost didn't go to this party because I was tired. But went anyway. I ran into my friend who used to be in my ward like 3 years ago. So we talked and that was that. (side note story, his sister who is in my ward has been trying to get us to go on a date for a long time. I would just laugh when she said that) The next day at church I told his sister that I ran into her brother. Once again she was like you really should go on a date with my brother. I once again laughed. After church I get a text from her. It was really her brother texting me through her phone. He asked me to go to the Weber State Fireworks that night. So I said yes. I wasn't expecting much. By the end of the night I was actually starting to like him. That following Tuesday we went dancing. Then on the 24th we went on a date. Sunday I was invited over to his house for dinner and FHE. I went to his FHE. Things are simply amazing with him. He's been really great so far. Are you ready for the Embarrassing story? We went dancing again last night. It was a lot of fun until....dun dun dun....my tampon leaked and blood was all over my pants. I didn't think I was that heavy. Luckily Jessica happen to be dancing too. So I went and found her and told her. We both didn't know what to do. If I ditched him and left with her. I don't think he would ever want to see me again. (There is a story behind that from Sunday, if you wanna know just ask) So I had to tell him what was going on. I think this is a girls worst nightmare. So I told him. He was really great about it and took me home after. Luckily his house is right by walmart. So I went over there and got some new pants, underwear, and a box of Tampons. I felt so bad because it got on his car seat. He was so good about it. He asked if i wanted to come over after I went to walmart. Yeah that was my night. Has anyone ever had something like that happen to them?

My Little Family of 3?

Aren't we a cute little family? better question Would we make a cute family?
Devin, Me, and Ben
I am a little behind on this post. Better now than never right? A few weeks ago was my friends Jessica and Sam's Joint Birthday party/farewell party for Sam. It was a great party. I was excited because Devin was going to be there. As you can tell from previous posts I am interested in my friend. (If you didn't know that just go back and read and you will learn of this) So I was holding my married friends Herbie and Natalie's baby. I love babies. If you know me well I was the girl in church that would take people's babies and hold them. Anyway so Devin was being a goof ball and taking pictures of himself with Sam's camera. So I decided to try and jump in one of the pictures. I didn't succeed. So Devin say's. "you didn't get in it" and then he says "Here lets take a picture" and hands the camera to Sam. I totally forgot I was holding the baby and I realized it right before. I tried to hold the baby down as to not get her in the picture. But devin says "O look its a picture of our little family" So yes I have a little family now with the boy I like. He then says "I should show this to my mom, she would totally freak out and ask if I was going to marry you" A little while later I was still holding this baby and someone asks me whose baby I am holding. I joked the whole night that it was my illegimate child. But right when someone asked that time. He puts his arm around me and says "its our child" I am a girl and I analyze everything. I was thinking the first time he says that comment about our family was a joke and perhaps he didn't even think about what he was saying. But to say something again about it I don't think that was a accident.
Later we were taking more pictures. Jessica took a picture of Me, Devin and our friend Ben. Devin and Ben were standing next to each other. I was like "Hey I should be in between you two cause that doesn't look right." So I get in between them. Right before we take the picture Devin says "but she's mine"
so by this point I am very giddy. I have no idea if this kid likes me.
So here's a story for ya. At sam's mission farewell luncheon. My friends and I talk about going dancing at studio. Devin likes country dancing but not at studio. He says the girls from Salt Lake are too fake. I asked Devin if he wants to come anyway. He says he's not sure because he has his ward softball game. When we left sam's he says "well maybe I will come and miss my game" so first off he doesn't like studio and second he loves sports. Also when he did come he stayed longer than he usually does even though he has work early. Then thursday Jessica planned and invited a bunch of people to go Mini Golfing. I couldn't come until after work. I met up with them for ice cream after. It ended up being two couples. Jessica and the boy she likes and Devin. So devin was the odd wheel. So when I got there He was like "Kayla your my date" After ice cream we decided to go back to my house and watch a movie. During the movie he lays his head on my shoulder. What the heck? So saturday we hang out again and watch a movie but this time he sits with his arms folded. Nothing! So I pretty much don't get him. I now know why he's not married. There is nothing wrong with him except he gives girls mixed signals. No wonder the girls don't stick around. They probably got frustrated with him. I am just kidding. I am sure Devin just hasn't met the girl he's supposed to marry. Thats my boy drama. Sorry you had to read all this. The end.

Meet My Best Friend Samantha






This is Samantha Williams. She is the most amazing girl. I love her to death. I had to say goodbye to her tonight because I am leaving on Vacation and she is leaving this week on her mission. She got called to the Phoenix arizona mission. I am so excited for her. She is going to be simply amazing. I am going to miss her to death. She has been the bestest friend. We met in 7th grade. She has always been a great friend to me. She is the best example. She is the friend I call for everything like when my life is a wreck and in pieces. She has been there through every boy I have cried over. I am not sure how I am going to deal without her. I know I will be fine. I have other close friends but no one can top her. I know she is going to be a great missionary and the people of Arizona are going to love her. How can you not love her? she is sweet, nice, caring, compassionate, fun. I could go on and on with adjective to describe Sam.

Reversed Role










Here is the story. My friend Jessica got asked on a date. His name is Brandon. Jessica wanted it to be a double date. Brandon couldn't find a friend for me to go with. So Jessica asked me to find a date to double with them. I will admit I didn't want to ask a guy on a date. It is not my thing unless its a girl's choice dance or if I have been dating the guy for awhile and I want to return the favor. I was seriously freaking out for many reasons. I almost backed out. But don't worry I did it. I ask my good friend Scott. Maybe I'll tell more about him later. It put me in a really awkward position. Who pays? Who Picks up? and Who opens the door? ummm yes I did think of that. Lets start with who pays? I asked right so I should pay. But that could look weird if Brandon is paying for Jessica and I am paying for Scott. I didn't want him being the MAN to feel bad this other guy Brandon is paying and he's not. Who picks up? Once again I asked so I should pick up. But I didn't want him feeling bad cause he's the Man and the guy usually drives. Who opens the door? yes I freaked out about that on my way out the door. Since you are all probably wondering what happened I will tell you. We made the date really casual to avoid all awkwardness as possible. We decided on making grill cheese sandwhiches and watching the office. Brandon went before the date and got the stuff to make grilled cheese. So who pays was avoided quite nicely. Who picks up? I thought about asking him what he would prefer but then I just told him I would pick him up. Then the door thing....he opened my door some of the time. ha ha.
So we made the grilled cheese and watched the office but we also dressed up with outfits we picked for each other. Brandon's grandparents had all these old clothes. Then we went to Smiths. We got alot of fun looks from people there.
This date was alot of fun and I learned alot from it that I might actually ask a guy out. I learned its kinda hard to ask someone on a date. I am grateful Scott did. In fact I think he liked the idea it wasn't him asking.
