So, I have decided that this has now become more like a journal than a picture book, as was this blogs original intention. Honestly though, I really don't have a problem with that. I should be writing in a regular journal anyway. I guess I should really try and keep all of that in one place though. And I could go on and on and on for hours. I tend to bable when I write, though I am not like that in person. Anyone who knows me agrees that I am extremely intraverted and don't talk a lot at all. So this becomes an outlet for me, though not many, if any, read this, it is nice for me to "let it all out" so to speak.
So yeah, I was going to write about my experience last two weeks ago. I went out on a date with a girl that is so amazing. I know this is dumb and it seems cliche to write about stuff like this in a journal, but let me explain. I met this girl, her name is Kristen Bleak, when I first moved into the Riviera apartments in May of 2006. My first impression was that she was way out of my league. So, naturally, as a very shy intravert, I kept to myself and didn't really talk to her. My whole thinking was, Maybe if I don't talk to her, I can't make a fool of myself by saying something dumb.(which I do constantly by the way as any one of my friends can tell you. I say some pretty dumb stuff sometimes.) So, I went over a year with seeing her very occasionally and hardly saying anything. Then, a couple of days before I move back, Seth Martinez, an old roommate and someone I highly respect, convinces me that I have a shot and that I should take her out on a simple date the Wednesday before I leave. I honestly thought to myself, Well, it wouldn't hurt. So, we went. It was awesome!!! That was the funnest date I have ever been on. All we did was go to the batting cages and then to her apartment for ice cream and laughs. It was awesome. Apparently, she thought so too. We have talked for at least an hour every night since I have been gone, and she is coming to visit this weekend. We'll see.
So that was that. On a more normal note, I did get into school down here for the fall term, which I am very happy about. But my job is proving to be a little difficult to nail down. I was supposed to stay on with the company I was working for in Utah, but management is being a bit sluggish about this. I have been looking down here in Texas at other places that might hire, all the while trying to keep in touch and get the ball rolling back in Utah. I finally made some headway today back in Utah and got the ball rolling a very small amount, but at least it is moving. I am going to have to keep pushing though or nothing will get done.
So this is my life up to now. And one more thing...my parents just bought a very sweet truck today. I will get some pics tomorrow and post them. It is awesome!! Anyway. Laters!
