The Set Up

A week ago my cousin came home from his mission.  

Three of his companions came to his homecoming party on Saturday.  

Today my aunt told me she asked her son if I would be a good match with one of them and he had said yes... so later on I texted him:

Me: Your mom told me she asked you to set me up with one of those guys at your party...

Cousin: Yeah she was talking to me about that.  What do you think?  :)

Me: Well, I'm still super awkward so... I will go, but it'll be awkward. hahaha

That could've gone better, maybe.  #awkwardmuch

And when I told my mom she started planning out my life with him...

And this is why guys are afraid to date (insert wide-eyed, frightened-looking emoticon here).  

First Date

My first date off my mission was also my first experience being alone with a boy I wasn't related to after having practically memorized the white handbook.  I wasn't exactly sure how to act.  I shook his hand when he first got there but then after my awkward chuckle laugh thing, that I had developed when I got home, he gave me a hug.  After talking for an hour or so about the mission and such we went to dinner and I loosened up a bit.  But it did take some internal struggling to finally realize that I wasn't breaking any rules and this was a perfectly normal thing to be doing on a Friday night.

#selfie has been awarded "word of the year 2013"

Does anyone else see a problem with the world today? I didn't even know what that word meant until December...

I guess I'll just have to take a selfie...

I post this video mostly for it's ridiculousness, so you probably shouldn't watch it especially because of the language and questionable moral content.
