Lily came with me to the "BBQ"-The stake served a version of sloppy joes that were seasoned with BBQ sauce and NOT Hawaiian BBQ sauce of course. I haaate non-Asian BBQ sauce BUT I was trying to be positive with my guest Lily who went with me. There was packaged tossed salad with ice-berg lettuce or CRAP so I didn't have any. The potato chips were the best part of the meal. I didn't finish the BBQ sandwich thing because it was gross. These were served on hamburger buns that were like eating a sponge. Fast food places use those buns but they toast them so they actually taste good.

I perked up when I saw ice-cream BUUUT the cone was stale. SERIOUSLY!!! I haaate it when I invite someone somewhere and the food sucks. Lily had to babysit her nephew so she didn't join us.

Justin drove us to the pageant next. I found the directions online but COMPLETELY missed our turn which was on 200 North by Burger King. We were looking for a Burger King in Richmond. I realized that we missed our turn then.

We got there somehow but I am VERY glad I didn't drive. Clarkson is in the middle of NOWHERE.  Justin is the perfect friend. He is good-looking which is why he is confident AND perfectly capable of being my friend WITHOUT getting weird or stupid. There are so many awkward men in my ward. I have never felt Justin wanted anything else from me AND he can still be NORMAL. SOOO REFRESHING!!!

Mark is cool but I get a vibe that he likes me. I think you need to get to know someone FIRST before you take that leap. I instantly enjoyed my friend but early on I did NOT like how he acted. He acted like he had to avoid me because I was a clingon BUT I didn't know him enough to make a decision in my head. I wanted to just get to know him more but you develop your friendships NOT give someone a cold shoulder when you don't even know them. If he started like that it would've been fine BUT getting to know him a little bit and then acting like we don't know each other was STUPID.

I did get to know him better but that was just because we were in the same FHE group although instantly I felt I knew him a lot better than I should have. Even now we haven't spent the amount of time together that would explain how well I feel I know him. The last time I went to Pizza Pie Cafe he was normal BUT then at the end he acted like I wasn't sitting RIGHT by him. That was REALLY STUPID. I let that go. BUT then He completely killed our friendship when I tried to help with FHE. It was sooo hard for me to stop hating him but I don't ever hate anyone and so I know it's only because I care about him that I was affected at all. Just because I love him DOESN'T mean I want to have anything to do with him.

It is VERY freaky to have the amount of divine intervention I've had with him almost from the beginning BUT I do see enough now to get how he is THE choice I have to make. I want to see how he treats Justin AND I want to know what type of missionary he was and how he approaches missionary work now. I want to know he can testify at the drop of a hat to ANYONE provided the appropriate circumstances.

Justin told me he wants to get baptized on the 24th but he's not going to wait for his mom in California which is what he originally wanted to do. I'm so excited for him. I am going to put on an open house for him. His baptism I think is going to be at the tabernacle. I don't know if they have space to serve food there. If it doesn't happen there it'll happen at my apartment. I'm making sure his baptism is something he will remember well and nicely as he looks back at it

I plan to serve sandwiches, chips, drinks and cookies. I'm just going to make chicken salad sandwiches with some rolls I pick up somewhere. I like the celery/cashews/grape/mayo thing although I would like to try it with heavy cream. I read that recipe somewhere online. It sounds delicious. Chips and I want to make my white chocolate chip/oatmeal/macadamia nut cookies. They are amazing and I haven't made them in a couple years.
