Life as I know it

I just thought I would say I may be dating a pretty good guy! And I'm serious, I won't go on about it but he is pretty great and maybe one of my favorite people to be around or talk to. Being with him is like being with one gfriends. I just wanted to put that out there. And yes, I know that I don't look that great in the photo. I did do my hair but it was raining and I wasn't planning on having to wear that jacket but with the rain it became cool and since I was in Memphis I couldn't just look in my closet for something else.
So I have a story or two to tell. I will start off with my Saturday night. There was a large group that went to dinner and watched a movie at one of the girls house after. Not that this is pertinent to my story but she bought a nice big flat screen and a blue ray player. I was a little jealous and considered dipping into savings before I realized I don't even have a home. Anyways, as we were leaving my eye became irritated. I figured my contact was dry and one of the other girls offered some eye drops. There was some relief and I went and got in my car. I was driving and Ben, Dave (Ben's roommate) and Erin were riding with me. We were taking Erin home and my eye started hurting again. So by the time we got to Erin's I decided just to take the contact out because it was really irritating me. Did it help, nope, it got worse. I guess my contact was actually protecting my eye from whatever it was. So I switched seats with Ben and let him drive back to there apartment. For anyone who doesn't know, Ben and Dave are both in Optometry school. So I was lucky to be with them. We went upstairs so they could take a look into my eye and see if there was anything there. The flipped my eye lid (I've never had that done before) and there was a piece of something on my inner eyelid. They were able to remove it and put some drops in. My eye was still pretty red but at least it wasn't hurting. During the process they said something about eye mucous. Being a girl I did not want them to see my eye mucous. I am so weird and that was so stupid. It just sounds gross, eye mucous. I thought my contact lens was a -2.75 so Dave gave me one of his contacts so I could drive safely home. It was a little blurry but I have tried different brands that were the right prescription that made my eyes really watery. Anyways, I was off and it actually wasn't the right prescription but it worked. I figure Heavenly Father wanted me to get safely home. When I woke up Sunday morning my eye was sealed shut, gross mucous. It is still tender to the touch and a little swollen. It great to have friends that can help you out! They were awesome!
Then Sunday at church I was sitting with Ben when Lee, a friend came and sat beside me. I rarely see Lee and rarely talk to him. He's a nice enough guy. Anyways, Ben and I were playing a game so I was bent over looking at the paper, when Lee started rubbing my back! Weird huh. I told him later that I really liked Ben. I was just kinda surprised. I am a very touchy person so sometimes I touch people more than I should. But with this being said I try to have boundaries and stay within them. If I am sitting beside a family member or a good friend, and I know they are comfortable with it, I gladly rub their back or what not. So yea, good times.
On a sad note (at least sad for me), Ben now has exams for the next 2 weeks so I won't be able to see him. Then I leave to go to Laura's wedding, then he leaves to go to his parents. So yea, I won't see this really cute boy for like 3 weeks. I know right. Good thing I deal with things very well and I have lots of other friends and family to play with.
And I am trying to learn to make cakes with fondant. So maybe I'll spend my spare time doing this. I tease that I am going to make Charity's wedding cake. She wants a lopsided one (I am pretty sure I wanted one first but whatever) and my cakes are usually lopsided so it will be perfect. I just need a little more practice.
