Late Night or Early Morning?

Well, it's creeping up to 1AM & I am not the least bit tired. I'm actually lying in my bed right now, in the dark. Shadie is asleep. Gosh, I dunno what's wrong with me. I hate this feeling. I just wanna sleep when normal people are supposed to feel sleepy! Haha.

Anyways, I have a feeling that this will be kind of a short blog. A lot has been weighing on my mind lately. I feel like my head is so messed up. I guess it all just comes within the package of being a girl, right? Hah. We just think too much.

Today I was told by someone that is close to me that I lack confidence. It kinda hit me hard. Well, truthfully, their statement was correct. I lack confidence. I guess I lack confidence in a lot of things. Gosh, I've been praying so hard for God to help me... I feel like I'm still waiting. It's either that or He really just wants me to learn to accept things for the way they are and move on with life. After all, the most important thing is to "be beautiful to Him" ...& that goes for all things in life. Funny how I know this to be true, yet my girly instincts kick in & I let them take over.

But I just wanted to share some random pictures that I've taken over the summer.

This right here would be Bill Hinson. We pretty much grew up together--in a way. We went to church together & he left to serve a two year mission. I can't believe how much he has changed. He is such a great guy--seriously, any girl would be lucky to date him!
If you are interested, contact me for his number! HAHA, jk!
But anyways, yeah, Bill goes to BYU-I & he drove to Logan to come visit his old friend. It was so crazy to see him again after almost 3 years! I really did miss him... seeing him again was awesome. I love to catch up with old friends.

Deb, Becca, & I. So, it's a bit different this summer--I don't get to see them every single day like I did last summer. I really missed these girls. It's always so much fun when we are together. Whether it be watching Spongebob, drinking frazzles, dancing in the livingroom, or just hanging around outside on some swings, we are always laughing & always having soo much fun.
Oh! & this is their sister Sarah! She also returned from a mission as well. She is so incredibly cute, haha! We are happy she is home.
It was really great to see her after such a long time as well. Now all we are missing is Leo, Mark, & Eko. Gosh, it always gets to me when I come home & I can't see them because they're not there.,, They are actually out in the hometown! Vabeach is stealing them from us this summer... They need to come back home, PRONTO!
WE MISS YOU THREE!

As you can read from a previous blog, my roommate, Shadie, is getting married this August. This would be her fiance & my unoffical roommate, Jed! He is so funny. Really. I'm always laughing when he is around. He's demanding that I live with him and Shadie in their house when they get married... he even offered the CLOSET! With a sewing machine...
Running Asian sweatshops. Gosh. Haha.


This last pic that I wanted to share is of Mr. Kyle Fitzgerald. Kyle is one of my closest friends out here in Logan. We hadn't seen each other in a long time since he had been in California... so one day, after work, Kyle & I decided to catch a movie. We ended up seeing this really scary/funny/good movie called "Drag Me To Hell" (rated PG-13) haha. The trailers to this movie were really scary... but watching it was HILARIOUS!
This picture was taken when Kyle was saying:
"It was so awesome, the sign broke!"

haha!

Scott & Stacy--something about us, or actually, him.

Wow, so it has been a while since I've updated my blog... again. But due to popular demand (I'm totally kidding about that) ...& boredom, I'm going to update.

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I posted. Shadie is officially engaged! She has a pretty rock on her finger. My former roommate, Melanie, is engaged too! Gosh, and they're both getting married the same weekend in August. Holy wow. Seems like people here in Utah are just getting married left & right!

People keep asking me when Scott & I will be ready to get married. Haha, yeah--well, my answer is always going to be when the Lord knows we are ready. If the Lord gives you the impression that you are with the right person, then it is commanded that we trust in Him. Why turn away from good feelings?

I still think Scott & I are super young. He is about to graduate & go to graduate school... & I have a couple more years before I even graduate myself. So, there's no rush in us getting married... although we do talk about it every now & then. Planning is good; but really, we are in no way trying to jump in right this second. We are just relying on the Lord. That is the best we can do; especially given our situation--the distance. We have been praying hard & I have faith that the right feelings will come. The Lord will direct our paths.

Anyways, I didn't wanna write this blog and explain feelings, emotions, marriage plans or whatnot... it was just something on my mind since people have been asking so much, haha. Especially living here in Utah! Ugh.

But all I really wanted to do was state a couple things about me & Scott (mostly Scott)--& why we are pretty much a perfect fit. Well, okay, let me restate that, why he is a perfect fit for me. I've dated around--didn't really find what I was looking for until Scott M. Trinh came along :)

A few reasons why:

HE IS SO CHILL--yes, he is like one of the most laid back people that I know. He's not easily angered. He's a calm, & thinks with a cooled head.

HE GETS ALONG WITH EVERYONE--doesn't matter who you are. He really takes the time to get to know a person when he first meets them. He's not shy at all; but very outgoing.

HE IS RESPECTFUL--especially towards my family, which is super important, especially since they're pretty much traditional Filipinos.

HE HAS GOALS/AMBITION--he is not a bum! gosh, this is something I didn't like while dating some other guys. I really didn't like when I would ask,
"so what do you wanna do with your life? what are you in school for?"
"uh, i dunno?"
Sorry, but that kinda doesn't cut it with me, haha. But yeah, Scott is in school & is going to graduate school for School Psychology. At a boy :)

HE MAKES ME LAUGH--and it's genuine. Like, I don't just laugh to laugh... he really brings it out of me. Sometimes, he doesn't even have to try! I love it.

There are lots of other things that I love about Scott, but I won't post them all up on here. These are just the ones that are more important to me--that I haven't been able to fully find in a person other than him. & There is one last thing that really blows me away... (I've seen this in other guys as well, but I was so impressed to see it in Scott so soon)

HE LIVES WHAT HE BELIEVES IN--walking by faith, not by sight. Recognizing where the spirit of the Lord dwells & where he doesn't. Gosh, I can not express how it makes me feel to hear Scott talk about his faith in Christ. It so much amazingness rolled in to one. Haha.

But yeah, pretty much, I have the best boyfriend in the entire world! I'm extremely happy with him & I can't wait to see him next month!! AHHHH!! :)
