Idaho

So, I made it. My friends think that I am brave, I think I am slightly crazy, my mom thinks I shouldn't have come, and that I need to take things slow.
I made it to Idaho!! I am here with Nate, and I haven't been raped, he is not weird, or even creepy. I am still trying to decide if the whole thing is real, and if he is what he says he is. I am still a little guarded, but trying to not be.
The first five mins were a little awkward. I got off the shuttle, and saw him. I thought, he doesn't look exactly like his picture, but he is still cute, and different. Then we hugged. It was good, but I was still trying to wrap my head around the idea that I was actually in Idaho, with Nate... (the guy I have come to know over the phone, and now I have to get used to him in person, is it still going to be the same? Am I what he wants and expects? Is this how it works? are all what I was thinking.)
We held hands as we drove, and Yes, we did kiss. It was just what I expected. (If you want more details you have to call...my mom reads this too.)

We are going to dinner tonight with my dad, and i hope that my dad behaves... I don't want to hear anything close to "What are your intentions with my daughter?" escape my dad's lips... yes, Nate and I have talked about it, but not in detail, and I still don't have a ring, so we are not there yet. I just hope to get my dad's opinion of Nate, and Nate's of my dad. I still feel good about the whole thing, and I am excited to see where it goes. I will keep you posted on how Thanksgiving with his family goes. (That is a whole new set of nerves, and indecision about what to wear...) I am happy to be here, and to see what happens.

Note to self.

Self,
When updating your blogg, look at others bloggs first, and see what you want to do, THEN post your new fun blogg, with all the other's ideas....Must be better at this.
Also, remind me later to ask others to start posting "one sentance" updates. (Jared's blogg)
I saw the coolest thing on Jared's blogg. one sentance updates.
ie: Mary chopped of her hair and still looks smokin' hot.
I thought it was fun and creating, and it gave me a snap shot of their week, without having to read a long blogg. Must remember these ideas for next blogg.
Love,
Me, Myself, and I

15 Days to go...but who's counting?

So, there are only 15 days untill I meet Nate. I am very EXCITED to say the least. I am glad that my parents are supportive, yet not overly protective. I am glad that they are willing to let me decide and they hope for the best, and want me to be happy. (I am truly happy by the way... :)

I am happy. Nate is still nice, and kind, and funny. I am just a little nervous about if it will be the same in person, as it is over the phone. I have starded a count down on the fridge, and as soon as I am home from Thanksgiving, I plan to cound down to Christmas! So, for those of you keeping track, I will let you know how Thanksgiving goes, I will keep my eyes open (for any red flags), and be the best me, I can be.

I have a few decisions to make. I am concidering moving, but given the economy I am not moving without a job. I am also just trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up...(the ever persent question.) So please remember me in your prayers, because you are always in mine.
My jobs are getting better. I am still frustrated about a few things, but I finally found the right person to talk to about it. So, I am going to write an e-mail tonight, and see what happens. OG is getting better, but it is slow, and the money is not so good. I am also trying to be better at teaching, and trying to survive lunch duty every day. As life goes on all I think about is
Just 15 more days to go....15 more days to go.....15 more days to go....

Love

The Quote of the day form Einstin today was one that I looked at for a year in college.
"Gravitation can not be heald responsiable for tow people falling in love."
How true that is!! The forces of gravity are not that strong, or that weak. I feel that love is a verb, a choice, and something that must be desired... So, think about that the next time you tell someone that you love them.
Oh, and I LOVE you all!!!
