3 Weekends

3 Amazing Dates

Starting with last weekend:

My friend Kair won a raffle at a stake activity and the prize was a group date for you and four other couples to go watch a movie of your choice on this HUGE screen!!! Well Kair, being awesome invited me and I invited Shirt Boy and we watched Up!! Yes I cried twice!! It was soo cute!!

(The movie, not my crying.) Afterwards we all went to a park and everyone decided to play frisbee. But frisbee's not really my thing...so Shirt Boy and I played on the playground and eventually ended up in a tree. Yes, it was kind of like this: Except we weren't that close to each other!
We each had our own branch!
Anyways, date #1 was quite a sucess!
After the talk that Shirt Boy had,
I came home wanting to be better.
And if that's not a succesful worthwhile date,
then I don't know what is.

Date #2 was last night with my buddy Jacob!
First we had homeade pizza at Sammy's house, DELCIOUS!!
Then we got hot chocolate from QT and went to the Temple Lights and looked around and ate Krispy Kremes.

Afterwards we went back to Sammy's and played

Baby If You Love Me Smile.

Love that game!

Then, to really get us in the Christmas spirit, we watched Miracle on 34th Street.

Best. Christmas. Movie. Ever.

(Jessica if you say one more ill word against it, I will drop kick you from here to China.)

Classic Natalie and Jacob moment.

Date #3 is a week from today.

Winter Formal!!!

After hours and hours of searching, I have a dress and everything to go with it and I'm not going to lie,

the whole ensemble is

FABULOUS!!!!

So fabulous that you're going to have to wait to see it!!

Everyone have a smashing week!!!

Seven in Six

In six months, I RatalieNose, have been on seven dates.

Let's review shall we?

1. My first date ever. Coyotes game and Applebee's with Rusty and my family. Want full details?

Go HERE.

Girl ask guy.

2. Date number two was with Tyler. We did a progressive dinner and played games at each house.

Details HERE.

Girl ask guy.

3. Dates number three and four never got posts so I'll sum them up here. Three was during the summer. During this time, the two girls I was hanging out with the most had boyfriends. (Holler at your fifth wheeeeel!) Anywho, the boyfriends had never been to Olive Garden so my friends wanted to take them. Well, my friend had a foreign exchange student at the time and she wanted him to go. So I took him. Now let me make this clear, he was an awesome kid and I really liked him, but we'd never talked before the date. And he didn't really talk to me on the date....awesome....

Girl ask guy.

4. Okay date number four had been LONG anticipated. It was with my dear friend Charming. (He's the one who calls me Pige. Read about that HERE.)

We'd started talking over Winter break and had been planning to hang out forever. But it didn't happen until summer. It was the first date I'd been asked on. We went to the park and had a picnic and played games. There was a little awkwardness since I didn't know his friends (Charming goes to Mt. View) but it was still super fun! The best part was when we sat on the swings for like an hour just talking. Seriously, we talked about EVERYTHING! Oh how I miss Charming!

Guy ask girl.

5. The fifth date was also with Tyler. This time we had the dinner race then played games and swam. For the full story, go HERE.

6. Date number six was Mary's first date. We went blind goofy golfing, boys blindfolded for a hole, then girls, and the other person has to direct you and basically golf for you. Then we played laser tag and ate lunch at Wendys. So so fun!!!!!

Guy ask girl.

7. Last but not least, date number seven was yesterday. We went and did baptisms at the temple then ate paninis and ice cream at Mary's house. Wow, it was seriously amazing. I'd been sick all week and all day yesterday I was at grandpa's funeral so going to the temple was EXACTLY what I needed. I've been before but it was a new experience going with boys and I really liked it. I felt the spirit so strongly and it was so cool to know that my friends were feeling the same thing! Two weels ago I was feeling emotionally sick and this past week I was physically sick but after being at the temple yesterday,

I feel whole.

So there you have it, seven dates in six months!

P.S.

I bought my dress for Homecoming today!
