Good day!

Today has been a pretty good day! I got to sleep in til 10 and then I got a text from Levi to go play volleyball! which was so much fun!!! Surprisingly I'm getting better and better the more I play. Levi's new roommate came with to play and while we were having a cell phone break haha he asked me out. It was very unexpected, but it should be fun. We shall see. And now Levi and I have plans tonight to hang out... fun fun fun can't wait!

Time to step up

I feel like I'm almost at my breaking point! Running away is sounding really really good right now! I think I'm just tired of my life right now. There's is nothing exciting going on, I don't have a man to wonder about, I'm taking 9 credit hours (which is the max), etc. I think I need to change things up a bit but I don't know what to do to change things up! I want to meet new people... maybe I should go country dancing tomorrow night... maybe even by myself! That would be a step way outside my comfort zone! I just need a change of pace. Maybe that's why I'm so excited for our trip next weekend. I need something new. I feel like my academic life is in tip top shape but my personal life is lacking hardcore! I need something to add a little spice to my life. I think I'm bored, actually I know I'm bored. Again, running away sounds really good right now if purely for the adventure. If I want something good to happen I guess I'm just going to have to do it myself.

Future

Have you ever wondered where you would be in 5 years? 10 years? There are so many different situations you could be in that far down the road... I always wonder what my life will be like but it is rarely the same. Sometimes I imagine my life where I'm a wife and mother... but most of the time that scares me!? I don't really understand that because i want to get married and start a family, I just think sometimes it's all too much. Then sometimes I think I want to move out east and teach in a small town, live by myself, have a huge dog to protect me, and just be on my own for a while. Doesn't that sound just marvelous? I've never told anyone about that... I think it's because I'm afraid of what my family would think. I want to get married and have a family but I also want to be my own person and become independent.
This is all I'm going to write right now but I plan on writing more...

Happily Ever After Anyone?

Many men believe that a grand gesture will get them out of any dog house at any time with any woman but most women do not. I, on the other hand, do. I love gestures, whether they be simple or grand. A gesture to me shows me that you've been thinking about me and want me to know. Showing me you care is a whole lot better then telling me you care. Simple things are great! They don't need to be elaborate. All they need is genuine thought. A simple hello text would be great... "hi, how are you? we haven't talked in a little bit. how have you been?" How simple is that??? That's all it takes to make my world go round. Some of you might call me lame but if you really think about actions speak louder than words!!!!!!! 
I would love it if a man showed up randomly at my door just to go on a walk with me, or to bring me flowers, or anything else for that matter. Where has all the romance gone? I am a hopeless romantic that can never be cured! I will always long for a fairytale ending and there's nothing anyone can do to change that.

I love the silly things that happen when you're trying to impress each other. I love the fumbling for words , the stolen glances, the brushing of hands... I love it all. I even love the awkward moments that end up bringing you closer together. Who doesn't want their happily ever after?
I came across a quote today that I found to be extremely funny and sometimes true.

“The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it’s boldness.”

~Victor Hugo

I love this quote! It gives me hope and a reason for the foolishness of men! 

With everything that has been going on in my life recently I am glad I am home and have people I love in my life. I don't want to be one of those people who say things like this a don't really mean it. So you can be sure I mean it! I am glad to be home, safe and sound.

Life is good and remember I want the man to be a man and the girl to be the girl! So men it's time to step up! and if you already have feel free to ignore my last statement!

Where have all the Noah Calhouns gone?

What happened?!?!?!?! What happened to the man who would open doors for you?

What happened to men making the first move? Where are the romantics who leave a trail of rose petals leading to a note just for you? What happened to the man who would build your dream house for you just in the hopes you would return one day to live in it with him?

What happened to those men? I'm sure they still exist I'm just more convinced that they're hiding in a cave in the middle of no where afraid to come out because of what their friends might think. If you like a girl, ASK HER OUT!!!!!! Remember in old hollywood movies where all the girl would have to do is bat her eyelashes and the guy understood it was time to make a move? I long for those days! Now it's all about how long should I wait before I text him back? Should I say something cute or funny, or both? Do I want to be over flirtatious so he knows I like him or do I hold back because I'm not sure he likes me?
TOO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!! and we haven't even scratched the surface yet!!!
I want one of those relationships that just works. I know everything isn't going to be perfect, i don't want it to be perfect because perfect's boring! but I do want it to be real. I want the man to be a man and the girl to be the girl! I want him to plan and ask me on dates! I want him to make the first move! I want him to want to open doors for me! Is that too much to ask for?????
I know these men are out there, we just have to go find them! But finding them would mean they weren't man enough to find me... Life is complicated that way.
