The Shoe Date Part 4

Saturday night finally came and I was pacing waiting for my mystery man to show up. I'm sure my roommate was laughing at me because I was so anxious. at 6:01, which was too late for my taste, there was a knock and low and behold it was Dustin the Canadian. He's a sweet kid, but I knew that my date would be because of the service he provided. (One of his talents is jump roping. He can even do it on his butt and while laying down. Pretty cool huh!) After a couple minutes of small talk we went down to Kayla's and Kim's apartment to eat dinner. Easton and Aaron had those two girls so it was pretty well matched. Earlier that week Kayla showed all of us a youtube clip of "Man verses Food" were he puts strawberry jelly on a toasted hot dog bun. then "grills"/steams the hot dog in chicken broth and then puts Swiss cheese on the dog. Finally you put the hot dog on the jellied bun and enjoy. You may knock it, but you just haven't tried it. It's the best thing ever since sliced bread...okay maybe not that great but it's definitely one of my favorites now.

We then met up with my roommate and her date and drove to Color Me Mine. Originally, this was not our plan, however because my two roommates that have fiances dropped out, my roommate was left by herself at last minute, so we jumped in. I swear it took about 15-20 minutes to decide the pottery that I was going to paint. It was just so cramped and had too many choices. Luckily, Dustin wasn't too fast at choosing either. I wanted to do a cookie jar, but those things costed 30-50 bucks! What? Do I look like I'm made of money!? So I settled on a square plate that's on pedestals...which turns out to be a sushi plate. No, I will not use mine for sushi. We finally sat down at 7:50 and talked and laughed for another 3 hours till closing time which is when almost everyone was finished with their art work. I was rather pleased with my creation. I just prayed that it would turn out as well as I hoped.

We then brought them back for some dirt and worms, which I had just enough to cover all eight of us. We talked and laughed and joked till it was curfew, where we then shooed them out the door.

Over all, it was a really fun date. But apparently the men in my car prefer holding the reins on dates rather than sitting in the sidecar. And I'm okay with that. I like not having the responsibly of making fun ideas and making sure that the other side is enjoying it too...well to some degree.

Thursday rolled around, and we girls drove over and picked up our creations. I think mine turned out really well. It's like having a piece of home here in Utah. Though, I should have put more Creosote bushes or teddy bear cholla in it. Oh well. I still love it. And I need to get a picture of Kayla's it's sweet!

The Shoe Date part 3

Every Saturday morning I wake up around 7 to go running for that day. Two of my roommates were already up because they either had work or had to study for tests and such. I'm about to leave, but then my roommate opens the door and starts screaming (in a good way. That's how she shows excitement). Of course I knew it was me because her shoe date already gave her, her three. I walk to the door and find these pictures on my door with the note "Dear Dana, Forecasting a chance of Anything! Sincerely, Your Friendly Neighborhood Weather-Man" This, I gotta admit was definitely my favorite out of all the services. I Just love weather so much! Becca I'm sure told him that though she denies it, just like how I like squirrels, and this is what is on our doormat that becca kicked this morning. He's kinda creepy looking, I've got to admit. I don't know of any squirrels that have orange eyes, unless they have rabies...But this was definately a surprise. And I loved it.

Did you know that I LOVE weather? Because I do. Just wanted to clarify any doubts.

The Shoe Date part 2

Tonight, I was kicked out of my apartment, and told not to come back for twenty minutes. So I called my mommy and walked to Center street. I got back to find this note on my door. I was hesitant to walk in but when I did I found chocolate kisses trailing to our bathroom. And this sign was hanging on our shower. It says "Dear Dana. Now that I've kissed the ground you walk on, and showered you with flowers, if you look on the counter There's a promise that I do intend to keep. Something else is yet to come. Something very special... Sincerly Your Shoe Date". Finally a pocket watch was on our counter with the time that our date is at tomorrow. Over all, it was really sweet, but my question is this: How was this a service to me? It seemed to be more of a way to ask me out rather than to give service...

But it was a nice thing to come home to.

The Shoe Date part 1

Our ward last year did a service activity, where the men put in ties and a card that said a time and place. Then the girls came and picked out a tie without knowing the owner. Before the date night we had to do three services. Well it's now this semester and the roles switched, girls put in a shoe and time, and the men get to do the services. Now, some of you might know this, but I can't stand surprises. And not knowing who has my shoe is pretty brutal, however, that is why I put the date this Saturday so I wouldn't be held in suspense. Smart right? Well Monday came (after they chose them on Sunday night) and then Tuesday came with nothing. I come home Wednesday afternoon to find a full plate of no-bake cookies with a note waiting just for me. Apparently, they ding-dong ditched them, but my roommate who was coming back from a walk saw who it was...
But I'm not pressuring her...yet.

I'm really excited about who my shoe man is because Beauty and the Beast is the best Disney movie, and they made lyrics up for my favorite song in the movie. They've got my vote!
