Holy Toledo, I'm in Ohio!

What a crazy summer it's been. And little posts to show for it. But yeah. Here I am, in Holland, OH. Working in Toledo for the extended with AMP. Selling Guardian/Armstrong Security. Just a little under a full week left, and 4 sales to get to my second best month. So that's at least one sale every other day.

I'm currently aiming to beat my second best month of sales, to have these numbers go toward my summer sales count for 2010. I'm trying to cushion my 44 sales.

While in Columbia, South Carolina, I met a boy who I was very much interested in, but I felt he had absolutely no interest in me. I was more there at his convenience. And I just kept hoping he would change his mind.

It's funny how as girls, we always give guys the benefit of the doubt. But realistically I should know to stop wasting my time hoping that he'll come around.

The truth is, I don't think that boy was into me. The cruel reality, that no girl wants to admit to.

So I moved up to Ohio, and met someone who turned out to be the exact opposite. Usually I like a guy way more than he likes me. But here I met a boy who likes me way more than I like him. It's odd. He treats me like an angel. He's so sweet, and kind, and thoughtful, and he tells me I am pretty. In such a short amount of time that I've known him, he's opened up to me so quickly. Apparently I make his heart race, and it's something that no one has ever told me I have ever done.

Logic says that he is perfect, and I do like him. I'm just not sure I like him as much as he likes me. But I love talking to him, every time I talk to him, I like him even more. He's growing on me. But is that enough?

I'm scared that I have this mold of a guy that I'm trying to look for, and even though these guys don't fit the mold, I'm trying to just make them work for the sake of finding someone that I'd like to marry someday.

I'm not really concerned. Just thinking openly. The boy I met in Ohio is an investigator of the church. He actually loves The Book of Mormon, and the idea that families are eternal. He loves that there is a Plan of Salvation, that God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are separate beings, and that it actually makes sense.

There's so much potential for this boy, I don't think he even knows what's ahead of him. But I see so much purity and joy pour out of his eyes and soul, and his voice is gentle, he really is something special.

But yeah...good experiences in Toledo...Holy Toledo, I'm in Ohio! Who would have thought? Haha.

Leaving for Utah soon. So I better get to work, and go make 4 more sales happen, so this extension can be worth it! :)

A Few of My Favorite Things That Start with the Letter "M"

My childhood friend, Amy, posted a blog with ten things that all started with the same letter! Her cousin gave her the letter she used, and then after reading her funny blog entry filled with thing's that started with the letter "K," I asked Amy to give me a letter! She gave me my letter of "M." Being skeptical, I thought this would be hard, but a list of 10 quickly became a list of 21, so I went back, and chose my top ten to share with y'all. And here's what I came up with . Ten Things I Like That Start with the Letter "M": 1. Mother. Well, this was the first thing that came to my mind when thinking of the letter "M". The sweet image of my dear mother. If any of you know anything about my mother...you've probably heard me mention how crazy she is! But what I mean by crazy is that I don't know where she gets all her energy from, at the whopping age of 29 years old (Haha! Or so she'll tell you that she's that ...

The Law of Tithe & Knowing He Is Real

I woke up this morning. Everything was as it should be, life was absolutely perfect with it's imperfections, and I was completely content. I began my morning brushing my teeth, reflecting on what had occurred the night before. I sat in my room, on my little spot clearing among a disastrous mess that I was trying to clean up, and after speaking on the phone with my mother, I decided to go to a corner of my room. I kneeled down to pray, and out loud I gave a long sincere prayer of thanks to my Heavenly Father. It's amazing how long we can go doing things incorrectly, even though we already know what we should be doing and that it will help us of we practice obedience. The Law of Tithing is one of those great commandments I struggle with. I could perhaps say that my parents didn't really ingrain this law in my head well enough, but I never had to deal with this type of responsibility until I moved out of the home. So I must face reality, and know that the responsibility...

Speed Dating

I'm not so sure I've ever been a real big fan of dating, or speed dating at that matter. But then again, my dating experiences have been so few, that I can't really judge speed dating too harshly. If anything, I would practice meeting more people, spend time getting to know my friends better, and just have a great time laughing at the most bizarre conversations. So for those of you who haven't ever been speed dating, it's the funniest thing ever. Luckily, it was a combined ward activity, so there were a lot of people from ward there that I knew, and I had the opportunity to meet some new people from the other ward. On this occasion, I only had 90 seconds to talk to a person before I had to move down the line of chairs to meet someone new. At first I was like, I'm sitting among my ward member friends, and I already know them, but then I thought it will be fun to ask them questions I've never really asked them before. Some people were really interesting ...
