Dating Adventures

What should I be doing right now.....probably homework, but I'll tell you about my fun times with Russell instead! This is definately not a play by play, just the highlights.

So...we had been on a few dates and last Monday he called and said he would pick me up at 8 and that I should decide what to do. I had been wanting to watch The American President all day and he hadn't seen it (crazy!) so I decided on that. We went to the creamery and got shakes and then settled in for the movie. A little ways into the movie we reached over and put his hand on my leg next to mine, and just a little later tapped my hand and said something to me. I didn't hear him and I responded with a graceful "huh?" LOL. He said not to worry about it, and two seconds later I realized that he said "Does that need holding!!!!" I ruined the moment and didn't know what to do! Luckily just a few minutes later he just picked up my hand and put it in his. Problem solved! I told everyone that story over the next two days and when I had a chance to talk to him again alone I told him. I really find it hilarious now that it's over, but at the time I didn't.

Wednesday night we cooked dinner for his friends and then played games. His friends are super fun and didn't mind letting me join the crowd. The next day when I met him for lunch he had just run into Larkin and told me that Larkin said it's obvious that I like him a lot! Obviously I can't hide it!

Saturday was fun, mostly because I was with him for all but about three hours of my day! We helped my boss move, made some pudding, watched an episode of Firefly (which was good, I judged it prematurely and was wrong), split up to do a little homework, and then went to a birthday party for him, Rachel, and Allyson. We played some DDR and Dutch Blitz, but I was out of practice so it definately wasn't my best, we had a good time though (we always do).

Hmmm....yesterday I sat next to this really cute boy in Sunday School, and then he came to dinner with me. It was great! We also played went to Laura and Dan's and played games and ate cobbler!

So far the only concerns seem to be that we have trouble holding hands while standing up because his hands aren't low enough to reach mine! And....he doesn't like potatoes which is just crazy to me!

Oh...he gave me a tour of where he worked and where his stake office is on Thursday after we went to Color Me Mine. I had never been on campus at night before and it was fun. We also cheated and went geocaching without the GPS!

My favorite thing is to wake up to an email from him though, that just makes the day wonderful!
