three chances to strike out
Jared grabbed me in church today and apologized profusely for not being able to make it Friday, as he’s on call (med student. Probably totally wrong of me to go on a date with him, but I live dangerously), then stated that he had looked up the movie, and it sounded great and he really wished he could come. After chastising him royally for the text message rejection (to which he apologized again), I pressed him slightly and asked him if I moved it to Saturday, would he be interested in coming then. And he said yes.
🙂 *muffles squeal*
I am excited. Still a wee bit wary that he’ll come up with a last minute excuse or that he’ll never talk to me after Saturday, but it’s been three and a half years since my last real date, so you all will allow me a little bit of girlish delight, won’t you? I’m getting my hair cut (I think the Julia Stiles style (hee) is winning out) and I might get a new shirt or something equally fancy. In other words, I’m going all out. I might even wear makeup, that’s how big this is.
It was a good day. I teach Sunday School, which I enjoy a lot. There’s a really, really young (20? 21?), adorable guy who attends, who told me a few weeks ago that I was his favorite teacher, which of course, set my heart aflutter. Today, he complimented me, telling me that I looked really nice in my dress today (I was wearing pink which I never do. Huh.). Then another guy, who I teach with, told me that I was awesome. *blinks* Wow. It’s been a long time since I had one of those confidence building days. Good thing they don’t happen all that often, don’t want the noggin getting too big. 🙂

Thanks, Ari!
I hope so too!

Aww, I’m glad you had such a good day! I s’pose we can give Jared one more chance, since he did apologize and everything! He just better show you a good time on Saturday! 🙂
I’m excited you’re gonna try that haircut… and if you are feeling particularly brave, you should go for highlights. I had highlights for a while back in the day, and they were fun. It might be nice for you to change things up a little.
If he hadn’t of apologized, he was going to be going into the black book of shame and never referred to again. But he did, so… one more chance. And yes, he’d better be delightful.
I found a salon that I’ve gone to in SLC has branches here, but they have very limited hours (9 to 4:30), so I won’t be able to get it cut until Saturday. I hope it turns out okay.
Still deciding on the highlights. 🙂

Wow, awesomness! And how cute! Much luck!
