Life is good!

Life is incredible right now. Seriously so great. I never thought ending a relationship would be the greatest thing I could have happen right now. When I think of relationships coming to an end, I think of heart break and sadness, but I couldn't be happier. I didn't want it to happen, but now that is has, it has been the best thing ever! I seriously am so blessed, it's crazy! I have the best family and friends ever that look out for me constantly! 
I went on some of the most amazing blind dates this last week and had my eyes opened to some incredible guys that are out there! On Tuesday last week I went out with one of the nicest guys! We doubled with one of his mission companions.  We made cookies and delivered them to all the local fire departments to say thanks for their service! He opened the car door for me at every fire station, and was so sweet! I had so much fun, have been talking to him lots and look forward to the next date :) Isn't he a cutie?

Tuesday afternoon when I went to the bank, this sweet girl that I see at the bank every week told me we were going on a double date Saturday! I was nervous and excited all at the same time! This boy that she told me I would be going out with seemed incredible. Every story she told me showed how much respect he has, and how he truly is a gentleman. She told me that she had talked to him about it and said she would give me the details, but he insisted on calling me himself, that that's the way "real men" do it! I loved it! On my way home from work that afternoon he called me and was so sweet. He lives about 45 minutes away, but insisted he pick me up, because we would be late and he didn't want me driving home! I couldn't wait to meet this kid in person! Saturday came and I was terrified! I didn't know a single person I was going with, but tried to just be myself. He called me and told me he was running late and felt absolutely terrible, so I told him I could me him somewhere and he reluctantly agreed. When I pulled up to where we were meeting, he got out of his car, opened the door of my car and introduced himself with a hug. He opened the door for me and we talked nonstop the whole way back to Springville. Once we got there we met up with his friends and family that we were going with and everyone was very welcoming. We started our drive up the canyon to property that his family owns. While we were waiting at one of the gates for his family that didn't have keys, he asked me if I minded if he call them to see where they were and how long we would be waiting. He felt terrible that he had to use his phone and call them. It's so nice to know that chivalry is not dead! This kid is an absolute gem :) Once we got up there, we made a fire, had s'mores and then the fun began! We had brought a couple different couches, a projector, and stereo. We set up a sheet on the side of his truck and watched a movie in the middle of the canyon on a projector! How fun is that? It was amazing. He was constantly checking on me to make sure I wasn't cold, or to make sure that I was doing okay. I loved it. I loved this kid! He really knows how to treat a girl and it was refreshing to be treated so well! 
Life is too amazing right now. That is all :)
