Some Things are Life Changing.

Wow. What a week! So I'll just get right to it. I'm now dating Derek. My first ever legit relationship with a man. 0.o As the title suggests, some things are life changing.

Here's the get-go:

Over spring break I was asked to  blind double with one of my friends (Josh) and his girlfriend (Laura). Josh had one of his friends coming to visit over spring break and thought it'd be fun for us to double. I wasn't doing anything but working all that week so I said yes. I have to say, I've never had so much fun on a first date. Normally they just consist of asking awkward questions and just getting used to who you're with. Yeah, there was a little bit of that when they came to pick me up. Derek and I were shoved  (very tightly) into the back of Josh's small white Toyota. The first thing on the agenda was to go and shoot guns. We ended up going to the range out past Wecco on highway 56 here in town. I was exposed to shooting a 22, a shotgun, and a handgun. The 22 is still my favorite. Mostly because it doesn't knock you backwards when you shoot it.

Next we went back to the house where Josh lives currently. The house is kiddy corner to my homeward church, which was to my surprise. His family (cousins) own the house and he and his roomies live there now. Josh and Derek are both from Cortez Colorado. Josh came here to go to school and Derek moved here just last Sunday, mostly to continue work and eventually gain residency to go to school. Anyway we made dinner (burgers and fries) and played UNO for a bit. We then went out back and made a fire, which I got some pretty sweet pics of.

 So after that we all went for a swim in the indoor pool. We played what started as a friendly game of water basketball then quickly escalated into a fierce competition. Each of us lost to the other, and we had to go run outside and come back in as punishment. After sitting in an eighty degree environment and then having to run outside in twenty degrees was pretty fun. We also really got into water volleyball. We about killed each other with that cause Laura and myself were on top of our guy's shoulders and it was up to us to keep the ball from touching the water. Eventually I went home around 2 am after watching a movie.

Currently:

I've just been taking this all in as best I can.

Us right before he left.

Come the end of spring break, Derek went back to Colorado to finish up his last month of his job and he got an approved transfer from Maverick to come work here. I called the relation official on the 12th of this month. He told me he had been asked out while at work and he said he already had a girlfriend. So boom. Good enough for me. I was really close to changing my status on Facebook anyway. 

So far so good. I've been hanging out with him basically every night, even after I get off work around midnight. Unfortunately though, I've been living the consequences of not having enough sleep every night. Today (saturday morning) I slept til about now, being 12pm. I go home around 2 am and honestly I just like being with him. He's moved into his own place as of last night and is also in the ward boundaries. So he'll be coming to church with us. I'm really excited to see how this will all turn out. 

And in case you're wondering, I'm still V.L. :p
