Just a little gloating

So I really hate to toot my own horn...but I got over that insecurity when pulling up this blog :) I know you don't know I'm self centered, so I don't feel bad doing this ;) there are three pins in this picture that are posted from my blog. They are some of the most repinned smash book pins on Pinterest. I just feel really great about that. It's nice to get recognition for something that you are passionate about.

Dang it I fell asleep

Right after I sent my last text I zonked out...so now it's midnight and I'm just barely seeing this post that he's going to laugh at in the after life.
You TOTALLY pulled an Ashlynne! I thought missionaries were my territory... Although I alway niched them... BEFORE they left :P I get what your saying, though. About him actually being into the conversation personally and not just in the missionary way. That's great that you guys talked and talked well and it's all fine and dandy...but tread lightly, my dear friend. And I know you already KNOW that but be on your toes.
I think that there is a part of every Mormon girl that is just compelled to flirt with the missionaries. Haha I know it sounds horrid, but it's true! For some girls it's becuase they're off limits. For some it's becuase 'they're making good choices and that's attractive.' That's my line. And for some (YOU) they just get pretty dang unlucky and a missionary strikes up a conversation with the Gibson tuck girl without his companion.
You just need to GET UP HERE. No more flirting with missionaries...I know typically when I would type this I would be smiley and giggly but I'm actually serious. Get up here.

For some reason I'm avoiding writing this

Who knows why...
Anywho.
     So on my way to the institute building, I was randumbly thinking that I probably won't find Austin anymore, like, he's moved already (unless by some freak accident). And part of me was sad that I don't get to look for him anymore, and on the other hand it was flippin' relieving. Glad that chapter is finally closed. So I couldn't help but think about how awkward of a romantic position I am in. I want to be with someone, I really do, and yet, I'm leaving in a few months. I don't want to do that. I mean, I guess dates and stuff would be fun, but that's not what I want. I want to start looking for someone, but if I really want to, this isn't the right place to look any more, because at least for the next year and half, I'm not going to be here anymore. So that leaves me a little stranded and complicated. And just as a joke in my head I thought, what could make this chapter more complicated. I laughed to myself and thought missionary. That would certainly do the trick.
     Now you have to understand, I've never been into a missionary. And trust me I've had plenty opportunities to be into one. But... meh. Really. I've never been interested before. So, seriously. IT WAS A JOKE. But obviously, the universe didn't understand that.
So I went to this fireside, to watch the broadcast (which was amazing, despite the fact I was close to falling asleep). So I sat in a row behind all the people, one chair in, putting my bag on the chair, making sure I wasn't inviting anyone to sit with me.
     Low and behold, the missionaries sit by me. I ignored them. I thought it was kinda rich that they were sitting next to literally the only girl sitting by herself. But they sat one over. I didn't even look at them. But I knew that they would immediately talk to me afterwards (I figured they sat next to me is because they didn't know me). So I was prepared, and I was happy, because that be the perfect little conversation I could use to book it out of there afterwards.
     So after it ended, I texted you, so everyone could get situated, wait for the missionaries to whisper to each other, then start to talk to me. But they didn't. They went to talk with other people. It threw me off. So I sat there, trying to look occupied with my phone, but it wasn't working very well. So I decided, maybe by the time it takes me to put on my coat and find my keys someone I "know" will notice me.
     I started putting on my coat when I realized someone approaching me, and my thought was great. It's probably gonna be that weird guy...
     But it wasn't. It was one of the missionaries. Alone. It sorta threw me off guard. So he introduced himself (his name is Elder Risk. I mean. Risk. That's the coolest last name I've ever heard) and we shake hands (I was still putting on my coat. I shook his hand with one arm in). And I think for the first time in my life, I was instantly attracted to someone. Like, that's happened a few times, but then they start talking and I'm like.... blah. You know me, you know it's true, I generally don't become interested till take two... or fifteen. (For heavens sake, look how long it took me to notice Bobby) But he was so cute, Ashlynne. He had brownish black hair and these hazel brown eyes. He was the same height as me while I was in my 3 something inch heels.
     So we started talking, and I hung off every thing he said. He asked me if this was my institute building, and I said yes, and he asked me if I went to this single's ward so I said yes, but I still go to my family ward. And he asked me if I was interested in coming to the singles ward at all, and I said not really, and I told him the only two activities I've ever been too were both on Halloween  so... which he thought was funny. And I also told him, I probably wouldn't be coming over anytime soon because I teach primary. And he said he was actually in a similar situation, right after young men's his bishop put him in primary, so he totally understood. So he asked me about my class. He also asked my last name to see if he knew my family, and I said he probably wouldn't most of them are in Utah, so I told him about my brothers. And while I realize these are all very ordinary missionary questions, it was just so fun to talk to him.
     So he asked me what my plans were, mission, school, whatever, and I said go there and after that I have a few tentative plans in the works. I said I'm not opposed to a mission, it just wasn't part of the plan at the moment.
     So he asked me what would my preference be if I did decide to serve a mission (after saying obviously the Lord will send us where we need to go, and can I say, he didn't ask it like a survey question, like all the missionaries do, but he seemed genuinely interested. I don't know how described it, but he even moved his body, you know? like he was active in the conversation, I can't describe it). So I said Lichtenstein  And while he was surprised that was my answer, all he did was kinda laugh and said he didn't think that was a mission all by it's self, but he liked that. HE ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT LICHTENSTEIN IS. I told him he was the first person who actually knew what Lichtenstein was when I mentioned it. He said he didn't know much about it, except it was tiny. He asked me how tiny it was exactly and if it was German speaking and stuff like that and we had a fun conversation about that.
     So I found out he was Virginia, and just talked about some things. And after everything I said that was personal about myself or opinions, (like when I said I didn't want to go to Singles because of my class, or more of the reason I'm in primary than my bishop making me, like him, was because I was avoiding RS) he wouldn't say, that's cool or whatever, he always said, "I like that". And I understand it was probably just a habit of his, but dang it was the most compelling thing ever. And I'm probably going to Hell, because I'm pretty sure I was flirting. Didn't help that his companion wasn't around.
So it went really well. I actually broke off first, before I could say something stupid.
     You know normally, I'd probably joke about how fun this is going to be in the next life, when he finds our a nineteen year old girl wrote a whole blog post about him, but I'm not laughing yet. Ashlynne, I'm pretty sure he's the new institute missionary. I'm going to see him again. And never before in my life have I wanted to go to Singles ward things, but I kinda really want to now. And like.... gosh dang it I WANT TO FLIRT. But I can't. And that sucks. It's not funny quite yet.
But yeah... that was my a little adventure tonight... and somehow I don't think it's quite over.
