There's gotta be a better way....

I found this picture with a caption below it that read, "Caving frequently involves a lot of mud."

Does a lot of mud sound like something I would be involved in? Not unless I get some mud on my heels traipsing into a sale! But I have a habit of doing things that I normally wouldn't (a.k.a. things that are the antithesis of girly!) more often than I would like, because some guy has asked me to! This is no exception...

I went to the singles ward in Atlanta yesterday because, hey why not I guess. It couldn't be any worse than what I am used to in AZ, right? Anyway, I accidentally got there about 30 minutes early which turned out to be productive! (I've gotta try that more often.)

As I was sitting in the back row texting while the choir practiced, a very nice boy who may have looked and sounded a lot like Dan on Gossip Girl came over and introduced himself. And he was normal! Cute and normal doesn't happen very often.



So when Dan from Gossip Girl asked me if I wanted to go CAVING I acted like I knew exactly what he was talking about and replied enthusiastically! I'm sure I don't need to tell you that I had no idea what he was talking about. I ended up giving him my number and after googling caving, realized I agreed to wear a headlight on my head and crawl around in mud. Hmmm...



I have to admit, I am a little excited. I kind of like mud. It sounds fun. And Dan from Gossip Girl is cute. But it totally got me thinking about how many dumb things I have done to impress some guy I liked...it really makes me laugh out loud! Here are just a few.... (Jaimi and Melissa will I'm sure remind me of many more!)

1. I ate the Big Z breakfast in Ogden (a dozen eggs, a pound of ham, and a funnel cake.) He was EXTREMELY impressed and then offered to buy me some Tums.

2. I agreed to bungee jump at the Chandler Ostrich festival. Thankfully, they were closed by the time we got there. I stalled long enough to miss it but still agreed so I got the impress anyway! Score!

3. I dangled over the side of the Stratosphere in Vegas. In retrospect, I should have pushed that guy over the side of the Stratosphere. He would have deserved it.

4. I climbed a windmill in the middle of the night in the middle of a corn field in Mesa. I should have pushed that one over the side too.


I at a loss right now on some of the others. I wish I could remember some of the ones I thought of this morning! This must be my mind's way of blocking the pain!
