Today started out as a beautiful spring day!! I let myself sleep in and then got to go with my friend to lunch at Great Harvest! That place is soooo good! Anyways then I just got to relax a little before I went to class and then work. Work was fun because the teacher I TA for was just talking to me for like 20 minutes. Then I had to grade tests and such. You know just saving peoples grades one day at a time.
So skipping to the crazy/creepy part of my day...yes most likely the very most boring part. I went to Joann's alone to get last minute stuff for my sewing class tomorrow. I am just going to say now that it was my first time going to a store a lone at night ever!! And definitely my last! I got in the store and got my things. The store was pretty much closing when I was leaving but there was a few people in there. When I was walking out of the store there was a random guy alone kinda just hanging out in the front of the store. He had hair to his shoulders, a beanie, and a dark sweatshirt. He did not have anything that he had bought there or didn't seem to be looking at anything in particular. When I walked out of the store he followed behind me probably about 3-5 feet away. He followed me to my car as I quickened my pace and jumped in the car. I was freaking out so much I couldn't think of how to lock the doors. But thankfully I did and he walked behind my car.
I quickly pulled out onto the street and he was in the middle of the street!! He motioned me to stop but I just went out around him and drove home as fast as I could. I made it home safely so it's all good. Moral of the story is I am never going anywhere alone again...the one time I did my fears were confirmed!

The Rewards for Service
On a Saturday a few weeks ago I joined my friend and a few other people to do service at an old lady's house that we have done service for before. When we got there we couldn't prune for her because it was too windy, so she called some of her friends that she knew needed service. The first house we went to we pulled up all the dead plants. While I was helping pull up plants one of the ladies called to me, "Girl in the pink! Come inside we want to talk to you." Confused and wondering what I had done to get called inside, I went in to talk to them. The first thing the lady asked me was if I had a boyfriend. I told her no, and she was like oh wonderful!! "You need to date my grandson!" She proceeded to ask me how we could meet so I told her she could just give him my number. A few hours later I was in the sewing lab when I got a phone call from her. She said she talked to her nephew and he was going to ask me on a date. A few minutes after that I got a text from him. We set up a time and date to meet for dinner.
Wednesday night we met at the WILK for dinner. For the first 15 minutes when we were getting our food he talked about how cool his grandma is and asked what she said about him. I was so confused because he had me go first but made no appearance that he was going to pay. So I bought my food. Not a big deal but not really normal for any dates I've been on, especially the first. I don't mind paying, but I think it is more appropriate for the person who invited to pay. When we sat down and were eating we talked about what we are doing with our lives like any normal date. But then he asked me a really weird question, he asked me if I date a lot. How do you answer that? I don't even know if I date a lot, and if I did or didn't why would I want to tell him. Then he proceeded to tell me about a girl he had broken up with the night before. How he had a dream about her when he was 13 and it was so real that when she touched his hand in the dream it woke him up. He then met her on his mission and knew she was the one from his dream. He had dreams about her ever since, but never made any moves since he was on a mission. When he got back he really wanted to date her and made it happen. She has been struggling recently and so he wanted to give her some space. Which is why he broke up with her the night before our date. But he knows she is the one so she just needs some time and space to figure things out. It seemed to me that she wasn't as interested in him as he was in her. Plus if she is the only one for her than why is he agreeing to go on dates with me?
After the story he asked if I have had a boyfriend I broke up with, but I didn't really want to go into any of those stories. He then said, "Aren't grandmas just the greatest?" I was like oh no we are not going there again, so I asked him about his mission. He told me he didn't want to bore me with mission stories. Really? You will tell me all about a girl you dated but mission stories are too boring? I prefer mission stories. The date ended and I didn't really think I'd hear from him again.
My friend who does service for the old lady texted me a few days later and asked about it. He told me the guy told his grandma there would be a second date. Sure enough a few days later he asked if I wanted to go out again. Did not see that coming...
