Dating Battle Stories: Sleeping Beauty

Hey there guys! So I know it's been a week since I went to Ballet West's Sleeping Beauty with Church Boy, but life has been so busy!

Anyways, I wore just a simple black dress, a teal sash, awesome new teal shoes and teal earrings and bracelets. My roommate did my make up and it was AWESOME. I felt so pretty. Church Boy showed up at my apartment and I made dinner. It was good times. We had a wonderful time talking on the drive up to SLC and before the ballet started.

Oh the ballet. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I have never seen something so gorgeous in my entire life. The Rose Adage was just brilliant and the wedding pas de deux took my breath away. I was blown away by the technique and the artistry that Ballet West brought to the table with Sleeping Beauty. It was just amazing.

Anyways, Church Boy and I drove home and continued to talk and enjoy each other's company.  The funny part comes in the next day. After church and ward prayer (an activity where we all get together and have a spiritual thought and group prayer.) in which I saw Church Boy at both events. I was fairly normal and semi-flirty. After I got home from ward prayer I had a missed phone call and voicemail from Church Boy. I gave him a call back and we made a little bit of small talk and then he proceeded to say, "Alishka, I want to be honest with you. I just wanted you to know that I don't think our relationship is going anywhere but i still think you're awesome." I had to hold back the laughter. I hung up the phone and turned to my roommate and said, "WHAT relationshp?!?!?"  I mean really, we had been on ONE date!! I don't know where he comes from thinking that one date means that I want to be his girlfriend. Actually....I wasn't sure how I felt after that one date. I think I would have been okay not going on a date with him again. Anyways....it was a funny conversation to say the least.

Overall, the date was good, the ballet was INCREDIBLE and I am happy that I had good company.

Stay tuned for an update from my date the other night...the story is SO good. :o)

BEST text message ever

After an afternoon of texting Church Boy, I was a little saddened when he didn't respond to one of my texts. I didn't read a whole lot into it because I figured with it being Super Bowl Sunday he was probably watching the game, or hanging out with family or something - so it was no big deal.

6 hours later...

My phone goes off saying I got a text message. I was just finishing getting ready for bed, but I took a minute to look at my phone and Church Boy had texted me back!! Yay! He said: "Hey sorry  i haven't texted back, my family came over and i have been talking to them pretty much since now. I will talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight Alishka."

Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? Made my heart happy. Much better than some other boys I can think of........

Here's hoping our date goes well on Saturday.

Dating Battle Stories: the Weekend!

Guys. Even though I've been in a raging battle with my sinuses all weekend I had a fabulous time!!

Let's start with Friday. Friday I stayed home and watched Sword and the Stone. I then went to bed before 10pm. I needed my beauty sleep!

Saturday I woke up and did NOT feel well. I called my co-director and told her I was too sick to teach. Instead I went back to bed. I woke up around 10:30 am. The extra sleep was EXACTLY what I needed. So I got up, took a shower and then went to lunch with a former ballet student. It was great and I loved sitting and chatting with her.  After that I went to the Museum of Art at BYU. I went with a guy from my childhood...let's call him Neighbor Boy.  I hadn't seen him in several years. We met up at the MOA and went to the Carl Bloch exhibit that is there right now. I'm telling you now, if you are in the area GO TO THIS EXHIBIT. It was AMAZING!!! So yeah, that was fun. We then went and grabbed some food at the Brick Oven. I love their lasagna. It is so yummy.

Then there was today. I love fast sundays. I have a new love for them. I didn't really like them when I was younger, but I just don't think I understood what great things can happen on Fast Sundays. Plus, there is testimony meeting. I love testimony meeting. It is always a booster for me. Good times. Then, I asked out a boy at church today. A few weeks ago I introduced myself to him and we talked for ages. He will now be known as Church Boy. So, Church Boy and I have been flirting for a couple weeks. After I called Sweetums on Friday and he was already busy for Saturday I decided I would take Church Boy.  So I asked him during a  break in classes today and he said YES! i got his number and we've been texting a little bit today. So I think the plan is that I'll cook something for dinner and then we'll go up to SLC to the ballet. I am rather excited.

So yeah, that's about it. It was a fairly good weekend - and I didn't watch the Super Bowl. So there.
