1. Kaylie and I moved into a brand new ward.. we were single and ready to mingle!!
2. My cousins best friend Brent wanted to set me up with this boy that was apparently the cream of the crop. Its not that he was a bad guy, it was just... interesting. He said we were just going to have a quick date and get some dessert since it was a blind date. I was thrilled. No one likes a marathon date for the first one! He picked me up at 10:00 pm, we got in the car, and he asked me to navigate to the spot on his map. As i looked at the map my eyes nearly bugged out of my head... 1 HOUR AND 21 MIN up the canyon!? He's for sure taking me there to kill me.
We get there, and he pulls out a kite he wants us to fly. No wind i tell you, the calmest night ever. So he proceeds to have us SPRINT to make this kite fly. After about 2 miles worth of running i go stand by the car. FREEZING might i add. He runs off down the canyon with this kite and i dont see him for a good 10 min. He did come back dragging the kite on the ground though, visibly upset.
We got back in the car, where he lit a candle and pulled out cheerios for our "treat". I ate a few of my favorite childhood sacrament meeting snack, and then said i probably should get back. He asked me to hold the candle for a, "candle-lit drive back home." I laughed, and then i realized he was serious. My laugh quickly turned into a cough so i wouldnt offend.
I skipped the gym the next morning.
3. I went on a second day with this boy named.... Tichael. I wore a very cute outfit, with some great gold flats. He had a telescope and wanted to go to this baseball field to gaze at the stars. He wanted to take the short cut to the field but i explained how i didnt want to walk through that roughage and get pokey's in my shoes. So we took the long way around. Anyways, he couldnt figure out how to set up the telescope, apparently its really hard, so we just sat and talked, it was actually really fun. Then... the sprinklers came on blocking the way we came in. So we had to hike up the mountain through all of the pokey things to get back to the car. I get about 1/4 of the way up when these pokeys start poking THROUGH my shoes and into my feet. I for reals couldnt walk, and i am NOT being dramatic. So he's like, i'll carry you up. That threat instantly gave me the motivation to give it another try walking. I for some reason even tried bare foot thinking that would be more comfortable. I even tried to channel my inner Pocahontas. But as those sharp daggers were going into my foot i knew i had no choice. He tried to make it seem like no big deal, but really, its hard enough to get just yourself up the mountain, now lets put this girl on your back who just ate every last bite of her huge dinner and dessert. Sorry Tichael.
I guess this wasnt a bad date, just embarrassing. Like I said, I expect the worst.
4. This story involves a boy I once dated... lets just call him... Gordon. Anyways, me and Gordon got in a fight, and hadnt talked in a few weeks. Meantime, my little sister has a dance recital! Fun right!? A place I shouldnt have to worry about running into Gordon and his whole family whom i dont know very well at this point. ANYWAYS, as I am sitting waiting for the show to begin... one by one the entire.. lets call them, BOOK famliy starts to trickle in and sit RIGHT in front of me. NATURALLY I start to sweat bullets. My cousin sitting next to me was like, "ash, are you ok?" To which i replied, "i'm fine, FINE!!"... in a high, squeaky, panicked voice! They didn't notice i was sitting behind them yet, but one of the sisters had seen me in the hall earlier. SO, of course Gordon sat DIRECTLY in front of me. The family then began to whisper to each other, "ashlee's here! where is she? i saw her earlier? i wonder where she is sitting? hey gordon ashlee is here!" Little do they know i am listening to every word they are saying with panic on my face.
Anyways, they left, and i vowed that i would never attend another dance recital again.
Anyways, we are going to Brian Regan tonight, with his whole family. He has been a gem thus far, no immediate concerns, lets just hope he doesnt make me pay, or i dont step on anything sharp, or he doesnt make me hold a lit candle on the drive home!! Wish me luck!
