its a miracle!

im b-b-blogin' again!

WOO!

ok, so i dont really have any good stories this time, im jsut bored and do not want to clean my room....

WAIT!

ok, i do have a story.

...

i got my mission call....

and im not going to lie

im actually really upset about it.

i was originally going to the Belgium Brussels/Netherlands Mission Dutch Speaking (which, a few weeks ago, was reorganized and it now is just the Belgium Netherlands Mission, and no longer has any of france in it, and no french speaking missionaries)
and i have been told that i would still be going there. but, i guess there may be some trouble getting me a Visa there. so...

i am no going to the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West mission, Spanish Speaking. leaving June 2nd.
O_o

i...i dunno what to feel. i mean, YAY, im finally going. but BOO, i dont wanna go there. i didnt want to go somewhere tropical and/or hot, and i absolutly did NOT want to speak spanish. and now i am going to a hot tropical place speaking spanish...

i mean, i know where ever i go i will think was the best mission ever, but in the back of my head ill still think, man, how awesome would it have been if i had gone where i was originally supposed to go?!

ill go where i am called to go, but i think its going to take awhile for me to accept it, and not just get depressed when i think about it...

but, my stake president is a bit on my side, he also feels strongly that i should be going to the netherlands, and is actually doing a bunch of stuff to try and get me a visa there. so there is indeed hope still! haha. i will keep you posted about that. so until June 1st, i will NOT be getting me an HLJ ring, and will stick with my KGW (kies de goede weg(choose the proper way, or choose the right path)) ring and hope :)

on a different note entirely, i have eaten 4 Cadbury Creme Eggs today.

man alive those little things are WAY too tasty. they very well might be the death of me one day...

i want to like...incubate one and see if i hatch a little cadbury creme chicken that will pop out a few eggs everyday. that would be wonderful!

...what would i feed it?!

love?

yes, i think love would work just fine.

ok, thats it for now kids.

im going to go clean my room :(

until next time kids!

Girls are Mythical Creatures?! Yes.

hey kids!

its been 2 months since i last blog'd! im soo sorry!

i always get crabby when people dont update theirs, and then i never do...

anywho, here i am!

i know, im excited to!

i am having some knarly allergies today, so i just took a bunch of benadryl, so if i start to make even less sense than usual, its because im falling asleep :)

ok, so here is the deal. tonight at Beta...hold that thought

here is some backround, i dont think that i have told anyone yet? or rather, told the blogging world.

so i rushed for ΣΓX (Sigma Gamma Chi) the fraturnity at the U that is sponsored by the LDS Institute and the Church. i joined the ß (Beta) chapter and i am LOVIN in. i always promised myself that i would never join one, because the majority of my friends joined them and i never saw them again...they would only hang out with those people. but, alas, most my friends are now on missions and i needed new ones! so, i joined and it is great! i have met alot of AMAZING people and i am having a great time.

so anyways, tonight after our brotherhood meeting, we pretty much just talked about the ladies all night! it was awesome. Croft made this little quiz about dating that was super goofy and sparked some hillarious conversations. but it also brought up some excellent real points. alot of what we talked about was kissing! haha so first off, i found that there are a bunch of other guys in beta who were "VL" or "sweet after mission"! so i wont be the only one! haha.

so, do i want to be sweet after mish?! not at all. but, its probably going to happen sadly! but thats ok, i can handle it haha. i have just never kissed anyone because lets face it, im a pansy! im just so scared that the girl will NOT be so stoked about it or will shut me down.... and we talked about when and where its appropriate, and just other random dating rules. deep stuff kids. deep stuff.

but, whenever someone gives me crap about being 20 and never kissing someone (which, surprisingly, isnt that often...most people actually give me props haha) but i point them out to this lil poem, that is AMAZING. its a great point and think everyone should take it into account :)

The more the dollar is printed,
The less each one is worth.

And so it is with kisses,
You've given since your birth.

The value of your kisses,
A sample cannot measure.

Nor is your kiss more worthy,
If it's said to give one pleasure.

The more and more you give away,
The better your kiss is known.

And to all the world your kiss is
cheap, and your affection shown.

But if you save your kisses,
No matter what the cost.

You'll find as time moves forward,
A chance you've saved, not lost.

And when you find the one you love,
With whom you'll live life through.

Think of the worth of a perfect kiss,
If saved "for only you."

the kid who wrote that was 19, and he knew his stuff kids. for real.

next, some good ole music recommendations that you MUST check out. amazing

first, matthew mayfield. he is freakin amazing. skip the first like 30 sec or so and you can listen to one of his best songs, "Better"




now, one of my all time favorites and a Pandora find, Peter Bradley Adams. This song, "Los Angeles" is what got me hooked! his incredibly smooth and airy vocals, and there is just so much emotion in all of his songs!




one more Peter Bradley Adams, called "The Longer I Run"



im gonna leave you with that for now, but i will sure try to post again soon!!

until next time kids!
