Back for a bit

Wow, it's officially been forever since i've blogged about anything. My laptop has been broken for a while and I tried going to my grandparents house to use theirs, well apparently they don't even have one. I guess they got rid of it since they never used it. I'm back home visiting my family for the holidays. So now that I can use my parent's computer. It's been so long that I don't even know what to blog about anymore. I'll just give a few updates.
Eammon is in California right now, he'll be there for about 2 and a half weeks. Right after Christmas I'm flying down there to see him. I can't wait. They are going to have a dance-ball type thing for New Years. He invited me to it. I'm excited, but I don't have anything to wear. So I need to get on that.
Work has been really good, my boss seems to like me and I've made a few good friends. I'll definitely stick around for a while.
And like I mentioned I'm home for Chirstmas. I'm really excited to see all of my family again. I'll be seeing some relatives that I haven't seen in years.

Well there you have it

Date

One of my friends from work invited me to go on a double-blind date. I actually think she asked two others before me and nobody would go, so naturally I had to say yes. We met up at a restaurant down town and to my surprise my date wasn't too bad looking. We have a lot in common which made our conversation easier. We stayed there way past closing and probably annoyed the staff. Anyways we decided to just end the night there since it was already late and we all had to work the next day. I'm not sure if it was a good idea but we exchanged numbers before we left. I haven't tried to contact him but he did call last night and left a message. I guess it wouldn't hurt to call him back, maybe we can just be friends.

Church anyone?

So I've been talking to the missionaries alot more lately. Well the sister missionaries have been coming now because I don't think the guy missionaries can be alone in a girls apartment. Anyways it's been going good. (Kristina I'm still going to take you up on the offer to ask you questions-thank you) It's pretty interesting. I'm excited to learn more. I've been trying to talk to Eammon about it, but it's hard because I can't really explain anything like it through email and thats all we can do these days. But I think it's going to turn out well.

Update

So earlier this week some missionaries stopped by. I'm not Mormon or any religion for that matter but I do know a lot about the church because I used to go to church with my grandparents when I would come here to visit. So I let them in to talk. They were really nice and I told them that they could come back anytime. Who knows where this will go.

Life is good, work is good....hopefully things stay this way. Me and Kit have been hanging out a lot more. I'm making a bit more friends (mostly through her). Also I'm planning another trip home soon.

Now onto Eammon (I know I post about him a lot). He will be leaving on the 3rd of November. He was told he'll be stopping off in a couple different places in America at the end of December. I'll go to any of his stops so I can see him. With the timing maybe we can spend New Years Eve together.

RAN

R A N- three letters I hate. So I got a call from Eammon earlier this week giving me some bad news. He signed up in January for RAN (the Royal Australian Navy) and now they are calling him into duty. He hasn't heard anything from them since about February so he figured he wasn't needed. Well I guess he is. He'll be leaving at the end of this month or the beginning of next month which means he's not coming to visit. I cried when he told me, not necessarily because he wouldn't be coming which I am bummed about but more because it's terrifying not knowing what could happen. He told me it's okay because 1. It's Australia, how much trouble do they really get into and 2. It's the Navy he wont really be in battle....unless necessary. I'm so mixed with emotions. I'm scared, sad, and happy (he has wanted to do this since he was little). On the plus side he will be traveling and some main stops will be America. So I will be able to see him eventually. He's not sure how long he'll be gone. I hope not long.

Aftermath

So last Friday was my birthday and I decided that I was going to take Kit (the girl from work) up on her offer to do something. She got a bunch of her friends together and we went out to eat. It was actually a lot of fun. There was about 12 of us, so it made for a good evening. Afterwards about 9 of us went back to her house to just hang out and watch a movie. She surprised me with a cake, which I didn't expect at all. She's actually really nice, I feel bad that I judged her from the first time we hung out. We took a bunch of pictures with her camera. Unfortunately mine got a bit damaged back home so I haven't been able to take any here. Maybe if she emails me some I can put them up. So overall really it was a good birthday.  Oh and to top it off I talked to Eammon for a few hours on the phone, which is rare because we mostly stick to texting and emails. He said he has something for me but I wont get it until he comes.

Party time

My birthday is this Friday and I have no idea what I'm going to do. I think I'm going to treat myself with a day off from work but then at the same time that might be the only thing I do for the whole day and spending the day alone doesn't excite me. I still don't know enough people to have a get together or anything. The only people I really know around here are my grandparents and they're in bed really early so that doesn't work. I need some ideas of what to do. I've got a couple of days to think about it. A girl at my work (the one who tried to set me up while on her camping trip) wanted me to do something with her that night...but I don't know if I can trust her not to do something like that again. Basically what I'm trying to avoid is another Friday night of eating junk food and watching Ghost Whisperer.
