Blessings, Trials & An Awkward Date Dance

3:30, 3:00, 1:30 - that's my excuse for no journal entries the last couple days.  I can't believe how blessed I have been.

There have been some real trials for me to overcome in this life and I'm still working on quite a few.  The Lord has given me so much.

School is going well and my social life is going along after than I can manage.

Tonight I was asked if I would be the lead in the ward play, "Cinderella".  I am going to play the part of Prince Charming.  I don't know what to expect.

Valerie is on vacation and I'm looking forward to a letter from Anne.

Last night I doubled with Jim and Laneeda Lucero.  I took out Laneeda's friend, Mary.  We had a barbecue which was fun.  Then we went to a dance which was not fun because every girl I've ever met in the whole wide world (including Lisa) was there.  All of Val's roommates were there.  Founder Bridge was playing and I felt like everyone was watching me.

Luce and I went golfing for the first time on Saturday.  I haven't golfed for 10 years and it was a lot of fun to get out and hit a few.

"Our district went bowling."

We had some fun yesterday.  Our district went bowling.  Actually it was a little strange.  We had to wear our suits there but we could take off our coats.  It was also strange but good to hear modern music.  Most of the music that was piped in was soft romantic stuff.  It made me think of Linda.

I really don't feel guilty when I think about her.  The two months we were apart before my mission have really helped.  I can usually forget about her during the day and the Lord's time, but when I've got a P-Day or some prep time I do a little day dreamin'.  We have had some great times.  The things that I remember about her are not so much the things we did but more the looks that she gave me.  Sad, happy, thoughtful, I like you looks and others.  She is really special to my heart and I don't think she has been anything besides positive for me.  But then that's the way she is.  I don't get homesick for her at all.  I got that all over with during two months at home.

Wow it's Thursday morning and two very short weeks have gone by.
