The Malt Shoppe

You know you have had one of those weeks when you have eaten two rocky road milkshakes during the week. You know when you wake up on monday and you think to yourself, "Dang, I have 5 days until the weekend." Once those thought go into you head you are in trouble from the beginning. Well I woke up thinking the same words. 

It was not actually a bad week, just a slow one that had no exciting events happen. It basically came down to the fact that I had to go to the Malt shop twice in order for me to enjoy some good ice cream.

Well to explain the title better than the fact that I had to go to the Malt Shop two times to enjoy a milk shake I saw one of my old MTC teachers. It was funny because I told a girl to go and say I love you in korean to them and then I went over their and talked to them and it happened to be one of my old teachers. It was great but it gives you that feeling that you want to be back in the mission field again. 

For all of those that served missions know what I mean. You are happy one moment and then you are in a desperate want to be back where the people love you every minute and you are sharing the true gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a fact of life and a thing everyone has to go through if you go on a mission. 

Your feelings kind of go like this,

First Feeling: Wow the mission was a great time and I loved the people so much, I am so glad I was able to serve.

Second Feeling: I want to go back, I want to speak the lovely language that I spoke, the people were amazing.

Third Feeling: I cant go back, it would not be the same. I am different now I have spent my time doing the Lords work.

Fourth Feeling: I am happy to be home, I love my family and I love school and my friends.

Fifth Feeling: I love my mission, but I need to do what the Lord wants. 

So the run in with Jeff is lame this week but it will pick up and things will be good. Love you all and have a great week

The beginning of Life

Me and Stefanie ("just friends")

Run in at the flower store

This is the first of many blogs to come I imagine. To introduce my blog it comes down to this. It is going to be one of those once a week posts that give you an update on my life. It is going to be like we run into each other at least on a weekly basis. With the wo's of life we don't get to see each other as often and I want everyone to know what is up with me and any friends that want to find out the deep dark secrets of my life can come and read. Okay that is the boring stuff. Lets start with my 1st blog. 

DATING (I know what you are thinking, Jeff talking about dating?!?!?!?!?)

Well people that know me pretty well know I am not much of a dater and have not been since the ripe old age of 16 hit me many years ago. But something has changed in the wind over the past couple of weeks or month and I have now gone on more dates in about 3 weeks then I have gone on in my whole entire life. That is not saying much considering I really never dated before. It is a weird world I have come to find out. Let me explain by example. 

So you see a girl or boy; a girl in my position; and you think to your self she is pretty cute. Maybe I should go talk to her. So you causally walk over and you introduce your self and tell them the whole spill that you work on privately in your head during class at school. It goes something like this, 

Boy: Hey nice shoes (Good beginning)

Girl: Thanks, they are just some old things I put on. (Its a lie, She bought them yesterday at PayLess)

Boy: My name is Jeff (Good name)

Girl: Nice to meet you, I am Jessica. (Just a generic name, don't worry!)

Boy: Where are you from? (Conversation starter which we all know leads to the "do you know?" game, they never know who)

Girl: I am from so and so.

Well the conversation goes like they always do until the question that you can never get out as a boy with out you sweeting and going in to a chill in about .00001 seconds of time and then going numb and blurting out the uncomfortable words of...

Boy: So if you are not busy this friday night...pause of awkwardness...would you like to go and get something to eat and go do something? (After the blurt out their is about 2 seconds of awkwardness before you get and answer from the girl)

Girl: (During the 2 seconds of awkwardness she is thinking, "Wow he is bold but cute, do i have time, yes, do I want to have time, I don't know, he is cute though and he liked my shoes, he must be a keeper, I guess it cant hurt, or can it, I guess I will say...) Sure I would love to go. 

Boy: Sweet, I will give you a call and let you know what is going to happen. (Thinking in his head since the words YES have come out of the girls mouth. "Yes, I am the man. She is so cute and I get to go out with her, yes I am the man") 

To go on, the date goes well and the boy is trying to do everything he can to impress the girl without it showing, but we all know it shows. 

The end is history, well until the 2nd date comes around. I have yet to master the 2nd date scheme of things. Give me about two years and I might be able to comment on that. 

Blind Date

So that has been my life for about the last 3 weeks. Constant Chills and sweats in .000001 seconds with many awkward pauses. I hope the 1st of many blogs was enjoyable and that my grammar and spelling was not to bad. Talk to you next week. BYE!

Me and Allie (Corn Maze @ HEW HAWS)

I don't want to forget one more thing that brings dating into a whole new life and that would have to be Speed Dating. BYU held their annual speed dating and I was their for the time of my life. Okay maybe not for the time of my life, but I was their to have a good time. It was funny. You need to watch the Youtub Speed dating of the Hitch movie and that will give you all that you need to know. Click here Hitch Speed Dating
