Well, let me tell ya about him:
His name is Bryan. He's 17 and a senior in high school. Dark hair, dark eyes, thick eyebrows, cutest smile EVER. :) over 6 feet tall!! He has the most non-southern accent I've ever heard, yet he LOVES country music and fishing! He's in JROTC and has a twin sister who is the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen!! One of 6 kids in his family. He is THE Mr. Fancy Pants. We have this ongoing joke... I bought a bottle of the Essie Fall Collection and about died laughing when I saw the name: Miss Fancy Pants!!! Cracked. Me. UP!!!!:) It kills me how picky he is... Never tried a banana but says he hates them? Ordering fries and wings at a Mexican restaurant?? Waddup with that?? But his testimony is so strong, and he's such a spiritually-minded person that it makes up for it ;)
For our date, we went fishing :) He's like a pro. We had so much fun talking and getting to know each other!! We became fast friends :) we got fro yo and I made try kiwi for the first time!!! I went to his seminary every morning and he sat by me EVERY time :)
In the meantime, I LOVED going with my sister to take my twin nephews to preschool every morning. William and Jonathan are just the cutest little boys ever, and Emma is growing up WAY too fast!!
Haley and I went thrift store shopping at Goodwill and I found the tacky Christmas sweater of my DREAMS! We were cracking up at the hideous prom dresses from the 90's and full-body jumpsuits straight from the 70's! Talk about an adventure!! We did some REAL shopping at the mall and we both got a pair of cute leather boots for the fall! So excited to wear them!! We also HAD to hit the Godiva store... Our tradition :) my mom bought us each a Pandora bead, and I picked the "Journey" bead for all the places I love to travel to, and all the people I miss like crazy when I can't be with them! I feel like my sister and I became a whole lot closer this week.<3
The highlight of the week was most definitely the temple. I've seen pictures of the Atlanta temple and thought yeah it's pretty, it's a temple, all temples are pretty. But seeing it in person... It is absolutely beautiful!! It's amazing how all your worldly troubles just seem to melt away once you step on temple grounds.
In my session, it was only me and this older woman named Sister Smith. It was her first time at the temple and she was going to be baptized for her mother. Her eyes widened as we went into the baptismal room. During my baptisms, I noticed the Christening date for one of the names. It was October 18, 185-something. That day was October 18, 2012!! I felt so happy inside to know that this woman was being baptized on her Christening anniversary!!! :) back to Sister Smith. As I was back in the changing room, I was fixing my hair when I heard Sister Smith come in. The temple worker told her,"Now you can take a shower if you like." She said,"No thank you, I want to leave the water on me." In a dreamy voice, she sighed,"it's like a kiss from Jesus." Awhhhh!!!!!:):) I was so happy she felt that way in the Lord's house.
It was a wonderful week :) If I didn't have to go to a stupid football game, I could have stayed and gone camping with my friends!! But I'm going back tonight for Bryan's stake dance, and I thought I might as well stay for church tomorrow!! Tonight is going to be soooooo fun!!!:)
Stay tuned... ;)
loves, Kat
