Unofficial Activities!

Well since I have been feeling lonely and wanting to keep myself active and healthy I decided to make my own little committee at church. Thats right I made up a calling so that I  could be more involved with the ward. Now this really isn't a calling because it was given to me by President Haslem, so technically its just me trying to get everyone involved and on more friendly terms in my little branch. My friend Marcos Sanchez and I started it. Marcos has moved on, well back actually he moved back to BYU Idaho for a girl he is whooped over. :) Anyways I have announced in church that anyone who would like to be text or called about unofficial activities to give me their number so that I may contact them. I then come up with random activities for us to do and invite people to those activites. So far we have come to my place to swim, canoe, water watermelon football, bbq, and have bonfires. We have gone to Pacific City (the beach), to Shari's(which is a restaurant very similar to Village Inn in Utah), cookie making, fireworks, movie night, etc. etc. It's been loads of fun and has kept me very busy.

Well yesterday I planned another fabulous unofficial activity. I was going to take them hiking to a place I had never been but the internet had positive reviews on. I did my thing, text or called 40 or so people. I drive to Mcminnville which in this case is a half hour out of my way because the hike is actually closer to Amity, but I go because I know at least one person is going to show up there needing a ride and I hadn't heard back from any of my regulars. To make a long kind of depressing story short Adam the gentleman that needed the ride and I where the only ones who showed up. Acquired!! So what turned from a night of exercise and social experiences turned into an unofficial date night. Isn't that just lovely. Granted Adam is a really nice guy, I'm just not into him that way and I'm not sure that I'm ready for the dating scene just yet. I want to feel more comfortable in who I am before I started dating anyone. I knew that Adam had a crush on me before, so do a few of the other young bucks in the branch but I'm guessing that's only because I'm trying to be super social and therefore nice to everyone.  Anyways we went to dinner at Shari's again... I actually had already eaten dinner before leaving for the planned hike, but I ate once again to humor him.

All in all, I guess it turned out to be a fun night after all. Adam was definitely entertaining I will give you that. Hopefully the crush will decrease for him because I really don't want to have to deal with the drama of 'dating' until I'm strong enough to really handle it and enjoy it. Thank you Adam for being my buddy last night. Though it was kind of depressing that no one showed up to the unofficial activity it still got my mind away from my studies for a couple of hours and that was much needed!
