Fast forward 5 years-- I'm oh so much more wise. Or, am I? Last week my friend Nathan came up to go to my ward Halloween party with me. I met Nathan through Steve, they served missions together in Zimbabwe. Nathan is from South Africa, but moved here to go to school. He brought his friend Luke who was visiting from South Africa for a few weeks. Immediately, I noticed Luke's outgoing, fun personality, which impressed me. The next night they joined some friends for a "Pumpkin carving with power tools" party. As I flited and flirted about at the party (I had too! We had more men than ladies...), Luke pulled me aside to help him get some hot chocolate. Then, he told me about these girls at the party that were flirting with him like mad and how they wanted to see him on Thursday, but he couldn't go out with them because he had a date with me. Being dense, I of course thought he was kidding! It wasn't until he said "So, uh.... can I take you out on Thursday?" that I got it.
Needless to say (ya'll know where this is headed), Thursday was an AMAZING night. I didn't expect to connect the way that we did, and I didn't expect him to be as great as he seems to be. I'm impressed by many of his qualities, and I can't wait to get to know him better! Sadly, after staying up all night talking and having an amazing night, I took him to meet up with his friends and go to the airport at 6am. But, he is moving to London at the end of December, and its starting to look like I may end up on a plane out there for New Years.
Anyway, since I usually post some pretty dull things, I thought this might be a nice pick-me-up for all of you devoted readers. See... maybe there's hope for me yet. ;)
The man himself.

Holy cow Kels, I'm not sure what to say!! If he's paying for the plane ticket, then heck, have fun! If it works out, good luck balancing fams from different parts of the world. My MIL can't handle us being in another state. It has made some holidays interesting. I hope that he really is a good guy that sees how truly amazing you are!
Kels you never disappoint with entertaining stories and crazy things happening in your life. Very fun. I'm excited to hear if this goes anywhere. Just don't forget me if you end up living in England and getting to shop and see all the amazing sights on a day to day basis :) Loves. ps when are we playing next? Countdown to our departure is coming up at a rapid pace.
Sounds exciting! Keep me posted on this boy. London? New Years? What's not to like???
