Points

I find it really funny how in this dating game we play we have this point system in our head. Points on appearance are typically the first ones we give out.. or subtract, then come points for how they act and what they say. I find most the points I give or subtract are based on the way they act. I understand that no one is perfect and the fact is I’m not looking for perfect. The pluses just need to out weight the minus is all. :)

Dating Resume

So, remember how my bbf Trisha wants to set me up on a date? Yesterday we were chatting and she asked me what my hobbies are these days. It sort of reminded me of making out a resume. lol. I assume that is why she was asking. To tell her friend (aka the boy’s sister) my answers.

Then tonight at a small group ward dinner activity thing I went to got me thinking of this dating resume again. A lot of the conversation fell on dating. Pass relationships, kissing. etc. It was kinda uncomfortable for me. I was worried someone might ask me a question I really didn’t want to answer. I was grateful no one did. I didn’t want to share my dating resume, or lack thereof, with everyone, or worst lie. They wouldn’t understand. Very few do. :/

Maybe I am picky. Maybe I should take more risk. I admit I am a very cautious person. Especially when it comes to dating. It’s just hard when the past has taught me it never works out. rejection after rejection after rejection. Why attempted to fall when in the end I’m just gonna get hurt? :/

Sarah

Lovely

Last night I had a really nice dream. It was lovely. It didn’t start out that way however.

I was with one of my besties Cathy. We were hanging out and one of her crushes came over. I had the feeling he was hitting on me, and acting like he liked me and I didn’t like it because I knew Cathy liked him and I didn’t want him to like me. I wanted him to like her. So I was pretty bratty towards him. She confronted me about my bratty mean attitude because it was so unlike me. I apologized and said I was having a bad day. I concluded in my mind that I was making the whole thing up and reading way too much into it. There was no need to act like a brat.

Later, Cathy was able to detect that he was in fact into me, and we had another talk in which she gave me the okay to go for it. What? I told her no, you like him, and she told me “So what. I like lots of guys. It’s not everyday a guy likes one of us. Go for it!” She's SO great. :)

He did get to around to asking me out, and I said sure I guess. :) He asked me what I wanted to do, so of course I said dancing. lol. :) so yeah. we went to this dance class for our date, he said he didn't know how to dance and wanted me to have a good time so he was willing to take lessons and asked if I'd take them with him. heck yes!! so I did. I remember him picking me up at one part and put me into cradle potion and spin me around in circles. Lots of them! :) I remember getting dizzy. He even kissed me at the end. just a little one. sweet and innocent. which of course made me more dizzy. :)

Anyways, that is my date dream I had last night. It was lovely. :)

Moments

“Life's all about moments of impact and how they changes our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?” – The Vow

Since seeing “The Vow” last weekend for the first time I can’t help keep thinking about it. I love that movie! So much a saw it again a second time last night. lol. :) This line I quoted here is spoken at the beginning by Leo, talking about his wife Paige’s memory loss.

I’ve been wonder what it would be like if I lost my memory of the last five years. I wouldn’t remember my experiences on the mission. Or any of the friends I’ve made since then. That would really sad. It just got me thinking of how far I’ve come in the last five years. Am I a different person now then I was then? I think so. I also got thinking about the future. Where will I be in five years? What if I woke up from a coma like Paige learning all this new stuff about myself? I would hope to find myself greeted by a good looking husband, who’s also a sweetheart, like Leo. :) hehe.

I really like the main message of this movie, that the moments in our life help create who we are, along with the people we know and care about. Life is about gaining experience and discovering who we are through those moments. :)

I could say more but hate to spoil the movie for those who haven’t seen it. I totally recommend that you do. I love it. :)

Love,
Sarah

Valentines Day

Today is Valentines Day, aka Single Awareness Day. It’s not a real holiday. Do I get the day off work or school? No. Making this day not an actually holiday. It’s just another excuse to get candy. That’s just silly because why would one need an excuse to eat candy? Candy is good anytime of the year, anytime of the day.. well except breakfast. I did that once and ended up with a stomachache. I recommend to all of you not to do that. lol. Just trust me on this one. ;)

So, Valentines Day, more commonly known (to me at least) as Single Awareness Day. The day couples have an excuse to be extra mushy and lovey dovey making us Single folk want to vomit. That’s normally the effect this non-holiday has on me. but this year, I’ve decided not to get that way. Valentines is about Love and telling those that you love that you love them. I am very blessed to have so many great friends in my life. :) As well as an awesome family, who I love dearly. :) I may not have that certain someone to call my Valentine, but you know, that’s okay. Life goes on.

Sincerely,
Sarah

The Vow

Tonight I went to see the new movie “The Vow” staring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum with my sister-in-law Hillary. :) I’ve wanted to see this movie since I saw the preview for it. lol. it was a totally chick flick. The theater was filled with girls, and only a few guys that were most likely dragged there by their girl. No real surprise there. lol.

So, Funny story. This past week in my Psychology class we were on the chapter about memory and for part of it we talked about amnesia. One girl brought up this movie saying it’s like that right? and my teacher made a funny comment. Because from the preview we know that Rachel McAdams character loses her memory and doesn’t remember her husband. my teacher said that when you wake up and Channing Tatum is telling you he’s your husband you don’t question it! you just go with it. lol! I agree. That is one Fine looking man. ;D

I thought the movie was great. I laugh, I cried, it moved me. My only complaint would be the ending. I wanted the movie to continue. lol. but such is life. At least it was a happy ending. Well, actually beginning. ;) when I think about it that’s even better way to end. okay I’m okay with how it ended now. lol.

Sarah

hook you up

Yesterday afternoon I got a random text message from my friend Josh. Before any of you get excited/ jump to conclusions- he’s taken. The conversation went as follows:

Him: “Hey will you go on a double date tonight?
Me: “Tonight? I can’t. I have class. I’m sorry.”
Him: “That’s okay. Another time maybe?”
Me: “Yeah. That would be fun.”
Him: “Sweet! I will hook you up soon then.”

Interesting right? I wonder if he knows something I don’t know. Humm. I’m always game for blind dates. (see post titled “Blind Dates”) They always make for good stories. Even the bad ones. My best friend Trisha is actually working up a blind date for me as well. Which is really funny considering she doesn’t even know the guy. (It’s a girl she works with brother)

Anyways, back to Josh. I find it funny he uses the term “hook you up” Makes it sound like I’m some sort of fish. lol. Am I a fish now in this analogy? Huh. I’m not used to being the fish. This could be fun. lol.

Sincerely,
Sarah

It’s My Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Yay for Birthdays! :) I am officially 26!

It was a great birthday! I decided to spoil myself this year; I got myself a new phone, and a huge order of Marykay make up. Why not? It’s only my birthday once a year- why not spoil myself? ;D It was great! I got other gifts too! I’m not used to getting presents on my birthday. It was a really nice surprise. :) I also got millions (so it feels) birthday wishes. :D Yay! I love birthdays!

I spent the day with STB. We went to lunch and after a movie. Oh and after that to Jumba Juice. Yummm. I love sharing my birthdays! I can’t think of anyone I rather spend it with! I love being a twin! :D

However- I have to say the highlight of my day is when my niece called (with her mom’s help course ;)) to sing to me. Awe! SO cute!! :D I love being an Aunt.

Yay for Birthdays! :D Thanks to everyone who made my day great! :D

Love,
Sarah

February

A new month. I am going to follow my friend Cathy’s example and make a resolution/goal for each month of the year that will help with my new year’s resolution. Makes sense. Little goals that will help accomplish a bigger goal. :) (Thank you Cathy.)

So for February I’ve decided my theme/goal is to “live in the moment” I admit, I have a problem of over thinking things. Over analyzing and having a desire to plan out every detail. Life doesn’t work like that. things never work out the way that they are “planned”

So, I’m going to work on “living in the moment” Don’t think, just do. ;) It’s won’t be easy.. but I’m not worried. I got a month to learn how to do it. :)

Sincerely,
Sarah
