I want a man!

School has been keeping me pretty busy the last few weeks. I'm so excited for a break from school :) My next class isn't until Wed. evening and so I plan on catching up on some sleep, reading a good book and playin' a little.

I went to two guest lectures on Thursday by Dr. William Doherty--who is pretty well known in the school of family life. He presented some very interesting material and inspired us (students) to make a difference in our families, communities and the world. Thursday night was part of the Marjorie Pay Hinckley Endowed Chair Fifth Annual Lecture. All five of the Hinckley children were there as well as three of Sister Hinckley's sisters. Also in attendance was Elder Richard G. Scott!!!! It was a wonderful experience. One of my current professors spent a year researching with Dr. Doherty in Minnesota and knows him very well. She is pretty amazing herself and has even been on the today show!

Things aren't going as well as I'd like with Michael. I'm not feeling very attracted to him. We still spend a lot of time together each week and have become pretty good friends. I'm still hoping that those feelings of attraction will come *sigh*. I have been on several dates with other boys the past few weeks and they have been enjoyable. I have a lunch date with an old friend on Monday that I'm excited about! Also there are several boys that I'd like to get to know better :) I'd so much rather be pursued than pursue-- I want a man! Can I say that again? I want a man! Okay, I feel better.

I'll be taking some more photographs this week so wish me luck :)

I went to a Stake Valentines dance with some good friends :D

Life

Have you ever wished for something and then when it actually happened you wished that it hadn't? That's kind of how I feel about Michael. For a long time now I've been hoping to meet a nice boy, like him. Well now that he's here I'm scared and feel like running away!! I know, it doesn't make sense. Hopefully with time I won't feel so scared. Yesterday we went to SLC to meet up with some of my mission friends and I also took some engagement photos for one of my mission friends.

Michael and i had plenty of time to talk--that was good. I let him know that I don't want to rush into things and want to take things slow (slower than they have been). Hopefully as time goes on I will feel more comfortable with the idea of dating a guy!

After the Winterfest choir concert!
Funny story: Friday night I was waiting for Michael to come pick me up. It was just about time for him to come and well.. a few of my roommates were going out to round some people up to come over and play games. They opened the door but before they went out they turned around and Rachel said something like " I hope you have a wonderful date with Michael and that it is really romantic.. " That's about the time my other roommate nudged her ha ha. Michael was standing right there and heard it all :D I couldn't help but laugh!

I've had a fun and busy weekend which means that I haven't had time to work much on homework, yikes! I have two exams this week, a presentation to give, two papers to write as well as my normal homework. Tomorrow is going to be a little crazy trying to catch up.
