I think I have heard this about as many times as I have been asked how old or how tall I am. Just cause I’m short does not make me a midget or a dwarf. No, I am not. In fact being short is just only one part of it! You can be below the height requirement and not be legally a midget. But what is the height requirement you ask? DO I LOOK LIKE GOOGLE TO YOU? Go look it up your freakin self! Geeeeez folks. Do I go around asking tall people if they are legally a giant? NO! Its rude, stop asking and get educated.

Well its been a long, long time since I’ve updated this, and there is so much to tell! I have legitimate excuses though, I promise. Mostly cause school is crazy. And so is life. Just saying.

Its finals week! And I’m dying here. I’ve lost all concentration/willpower! I am so dead! But only 2 more to go. of course they are my hardest 2.

Anyway, most exciting news! Ben and I are official. As in very official. As in thinking of getting married official. As in actually more than just thinking about it! OH MY HECK. AHSIUGWBFIJNCJBSFUogqJHKHBKFJBKUIBQJKkajkshXHHJsdknsHJKGKJNXYTFhj. We havent really talked to our families yet, but we will by the end of the week. OH MY GOSH. I AM GOING TO MARRY BEN. I’m still in shock. It still doesn’t feel like its happening. Like, I know this is the right thing, and its felt completely right from the beginning, I’m just sacred. Out of my mind! Its not really official yet though. We just both know this is what we want to do. But soon it’ll be official? I’m really worried about how everyone will react. My dad is going to flip! (P.S. Ashley Eaton my dear, I am calling you this weekend to tell you the whole story, I just have to make it through finals first…)

I’m actually kinda glad we’re doing this so fast though. I mean waiting forever to get married didn’t work for my parents, so why not try this? haha

So, my date last Friday went very, very, very, very, very, very, very ,very ,very well :)

Here’s what happened…

I was freaking out basically all afternoon on Friday. It was so bad that my dear Katie had to come calm me down. Which is super funny to me, cause usually I don’t freak out like that. Katie helped, but I was still driving Amy up the wall mostly because Ben was a few minutes late, so she started putting up decorations to distract me. Of course he comes right when I am in the middle of holding one of the decorations in place, so my one crazy roommate opened the door. Great. It actually wasn’t all that bad, but I just didn’t get my hello hug. BUT, that was ok too cause pretty much as soon as I closed the door, we were holding hands. It sorta just happened, but I think it was mostly me. It just felt so right!

The actual date was so much fun! He got Zupas (my favorite) and we went to a park and cuddled up in blankets and had a picnic. Neither of us could really eat, I think because we were both a little nervous and excited and just wanted to hold each other :) After sitting and talking for awhile we went bowling with one of Ben’s mission companions, which was so much fun. I think he was kinda nervous still cause he forgot his wallet, which he had done earlier too. It was pretty adorable. Haha. We played two rounds and I did better on the second round, even though we were trying to do super bad on the second round. Oh well, haha. He drove me to my apartment after that and we sat and talked in his car for awhile. I had to be done at 10:30 so we could go pick up my mom at the airport, so he walked me back to my apartment a little before then. And guess what!!!!!! HE KISSED ME!!!

Honestly, I kinda was expecting it, it maybe happened a bit earlier than I thought, but hey, I am perfectly ok with it :)

We went on a drive Sunday and sat and talked/cuddled/kissed in his car. Monday we held hands in class and then we studied in one of the labs on campus for a bit. Tuesday he met my mom and cousin at dinner, and they approve! It was pretty mush a perfect evening. We had dinner at my sisters house and after my cousin and brother in law left, we sat on the couch and talked for like ever. For awhile it was my turn to hold my nephew, and Ben was so sweet. I pretty much melted. Today we went mini golfing, which is another favorite of mine :)

I really, really, really like him. Like a lot. I feel like with my past boyfriend, I was more dating him just to date him, and didn’t really see it going anywhere. This I could see going somewhere and I like just being around Ben and getting to know him better, deeper. I don’t just want to make out with him all the time, which is basically what me and my last boyfriend did. I do like kissing him though, he literally takes my breath away, but its more than that. He makes me want to be a better person, to really try to make this work. I know that he like me in spite of my silly quirks and would adore me no matter how I looked, but I want to look nice for him, just because I can.

I really hope this works

Perceptions

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:07:14 -0700

Oh, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially cause I am done seeing a counselor for awhile (hopefully)

I think that most people don’t seen to realize all of their strengths and talents. I don’t think it is because we see ourselves badly per say, but it like we are less likely to think good of ourselves. That was probably confusing. I mean that maybe we don’t dwell on all of the things we think are wrong with us, but we don’t try to think of how good we are, so in a way we are putting ourselves down? I hope that made more sense…

By being in counseling for awhile, I was able to see myself a little more clearly. My counselor pointed out some traits in me that he though we admirable. Like how I enjoy helping others or even just being there for them, even sometimes to a fault. I would much rather have to experience the pain for someone else if it means they don’t have to go through it themselves. I never really even realized this about myself. I didn’t go about saying to myself, “oh I am such a bad person, I never help anyone” but I never realized how much I was trying to help others, especially my family. I didn’t even think I was helping them, I just did it. I didn’t even think I had the ability to help others like that. ( I am not trying to toot my own horn here, its just something I learned about myself) I guess I just never saw myself as someone others could turn to and trust. I never thought I had much compassion or anything like that. But I have begun to realize that I do, and that I enjoy knowing that I can be someone that can help others.

The most interesting thing thought that I realized though doesn’t really have anything to do with me. I was able to learn more about myself, to see myself in a different light through another person. I couldn’t do it by myself. I think this applies to everyone. Sometimes it takes other people to see ourselves more clearly. Maybe its how other act around us that can clue us into how they perceive us, which I am sure is different then how we perceive ourselves. Maybe the fact that people reach out to us means they want to hear what we say, that they trust us, that they think we can help them. Maybe if we paid more attention to the small things people do, instead of those bigger things that stick with us more, we might learn something. Maybe we should listen more to others and less to our own brains. Of course this means listen to people who are actually sincere, cause people who are not invested in our interests or don’t know us are probably more likely to be jerks. Just saying.

So I guess what I am trying to say is that maybe we are better people than we think we are and maybe others are better than we judge them to be. Maybe we’d be better off if we tried thinking better of ourselves, but obviously not to the point that we’re vain and whatnot. That’d be bad.

So smile, be happy, you’re awesome, cause I say so!

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:30:00 -0700

did you see the length of that last post? holy freakin cow! its all about a boy! I really am such a stinkin girl! Hahahahahahahaha….wow

I am still figuring it out, but I may just like him?

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:28:55 -0700

So, remember my last massive update post? When I talked about a guy I am interested in is talking to me? Wellllll…… :) His name is Ben. I met him about 2 months ago, actually the week I broke up with my used to be boyfriend. I was having lunch with my sister and brother in law in the WILK and a bunch of my brother in law’s friends from his classes came and joined us. Ben was friends with one of the guys in my brother in law’s classes. He was way nice then, and I was like “oh, you’re cute, too bad I won’t ever see you again”. Plus, his friend mentioned something about a girl of Ben was going to see in his next class, which was semi-discouraging. I ended up going on a date with the friend, which was fun, he just isn’t my type and I am super awkward when it comes to dates, so nothing happened outside of the one date. So a bit after this, I noticed that Ben was in my HIST 201 class, but of course, I was way to chicken to go and talk to him or anything like that, especially cause I thought he was interested in someone else and whatnot. I figured that would be it and nothing would happen. WELL :) a couple weeks ago, I saw him randomly at President Monson’s devotional (which was awesome, btws) and we did the whole, ‘i’ve met you, so I’m going to smile at you’ thing. And then that Friday we had group discussions, so that class was all mixed up and crazy and whatnot, so he saw me and was like “hey, we met before” and then I was awkward and totally lame. OF COURSE! haha. But that mustn’t have turned him off, cause the next Monday, he totally walked with me to the library, even though I looked like crap, cause I’d been up late writing a paper. He walked with me again on Wednesday and Friday he sat with me, which was lots of fun. After class he said he’d love to take me out sometime and then got my number. SCORE. We texted most of the weekend, which was also very nice :) Monday we look for our books for class together and Tuesday we went to devotional together. He walked me to my next class, even though he could’ve just gone home cause he was done with class for the day and he hugged me. And sat with me today and he hugged me again today when I went to the library. And we’re going on a date on Friday!

I think I really like him. I can talk to him very easy, which normally I can’t do. Like at all. Sometimes it is awkward, but mostly not. I am way comfortable around him, like I can be myself. He isn’t like way showy or obnoxious; he’s kinda quieter like me, but he is really funny. He is very cute too :) By the way he talks about his family, I can tell how much he really cares about them, which I love. I feel like he feels like he can be open with me, which is important to me. He is smart, I think smarter than he thinks his, which I adore. Basically, I adore him. I am such a GIRL!

I had a funny experience though. Ben is thinking of joining the Air guard, to help him pay for school. By the way he talked about it, he sounded like he knew what he was talking about, which was also nice. Anyway, I kinda got all worried for him. Which was very weird to me, cause I’ve been on dates with other guys before who are interested in the military and I didn’t get like this. I was actually scared for him. I am sadly lacking in knowledge about the guard, even though I was raised military. So I went and looked it up, and I was still concerned, but not almost freaking out. Honestly, it was a bizarre experience. Im still figuring it out.

I’m trying to take things slow here, even though I’d love to speed things up. Actually, I don’t, I am enjoying just spending time with him. I don’t want to bring the more physical parts in just yet, not at least until I figure out if I actually like him or just hanging out with him, ya know? I feel like it won’t go too fast though, cause this is like the only time I’m going to be able to go on a date with him because Thanksgiving and finals and break and Christmas are coming up. I do hope that next semester I still get to spend time with him and maybe it’ll go somewhere? I don’t think anything will happen just yet, but we’ll just have to see I guess.

I really am such a girl though…haha

Hello Tumblr, How I have missed you

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:13:19 -0700

So as previously discussed, I fail at this whole blogging thing, so apologies, and now we’re moving on to more important things, namely ME :)

#1Well, life and all that jazz happened recently, and now I’m an Aunt!

This is me and my nephew! He is so stinkin perfect! I adore him!
It was kinda cool, I was there all day with my sister and so I was one of the first people besides my sister and her husband and the nurses who got to hold him! Don’t worry, I wasn’t actually in the room for the delivery, just for labor, i.e. contractions. Oh, and I am jealous of my sister’s labor. She was only in labor for 11 hours and pushed for 20 min. Which is pretty miraculous for a first time! Watch, now I am going to have all these high expectations for when I eventually have kids (not now, just fyi) and then I’ll be in labor for like a year. ahahaha. But really, pretty much everything went well, except he did have a few problems breathing when he came out. After an hour in the NICU getting his lungs cleaned out, he was just fine though. He is so tiny and perfect!!!!! I get kinda scared when I hold him, cause he is so fragile, but I just love him!

#2Well, now for an update on the depression issue. I am now on an anti-depressant. (Don’t worry, I am not a danger to myself or anyone else, unless I get woken up from a nap…haha) Honestly, I’m ok with it. It should only be for a few months which will give me sometime to figure out how I best deal with depression. I don’t want to end up like my mom on medication for the rest of my life, so I am going to learn to be happy, even though I’ve been having some problems with depression. I know its not something that is cured ever, but I can learn to deal with it so its not so overwhelming. Mostly I am ok and not so overwhelmed, its just lately all the stress and worry caused by my family has triggered some significant episodes of depression. So if I learn to cope, it shouldn’t be so bad. Hopefully? haha

#3 BOYS. Actually, just one. :) I have more to say about him, but it’ll have to go in another post, cause I have lots to say about him!!!!

So thats my life in a snapshot

I’ll be back
princessdagmar

Which i can do. Oh yeah :)

Which i can do. Oh yeah :)

ok, Epic update time...

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:31:25 -0700

1# So last time I posted, I was having a rough time. Depression was really getting to me. But I feel like I’ve gotten out of that low spot, and Im doing lots better. I still get down, but I a a lot happier now!

2# Boys. Things were progressing nicely with Bradley, the cute curly haired guy in my ward I met at the hot tub. On Friday we went on a date, but by the end of if, I realized I don’t really like him. I mean, he is a nice, fun guy, but I am pretty sure I was only interested in him because he was interested in me. Honestly, I feel like we don’t really have all that much in common. The boy doesn’t like to read! WHAT?I’m afraid that now he is expecting this to go somewhere serious, and honestly, I don’t want it to. I guess we’ll just have to see…On a better note, I finally re-met that cute RM that served in my ward, with a little help from my brother in law! I don’t think I would’ve have done it without him. Awkward moment happened with a guy in my Accounting class yesterday. We sit in randomly assigned groups, and the guy who sat next to me was cute, and we flirted a bit…about halfway into class he took my paper and wrote his name and number and drew a little hear around it. It was interesting. Honestly, he was nice, but the kind of guys who do that sort of stuff are SO NOT my type. But another guy I may or may not be interested in is talking to me! I’m trying to take this slow and handle it better…Thankfully with the help from my best friend, I might just get something to work. (more on best guy friend later)

#3 Roommates. It has been a frustrating semester when it comes to roommates. I need to write a whole other post to describe all the crazy stuff I’ve had to deal with in regards to my one roommate who is off her rocker. But, Amy and I have decided we want to look into switching apartments. We’re not sure if we will or not, but it has come up. Amy was really frustrating me this past weekend. I love the girl to death, and I feel like in another life we were sisters, but every now and then she drives me up the wall! I’m pretty sure it was my fault this time around, cause I was stressed out and not handling it well. I kept putting off this paper to spend time with her and other friends, so when it came down to crunch time, I was not a happy camper. Its just everyone has those little things they do that make others tick and usually with Amy, its no big deal, but when I’m stressed out, everything is kinda just magnified. One thing I’ve realized though, is that if I don’t think about me and focus on her view of the situation or what she is dealing with, its hard to be/stay upset with her. Now if only I could do that with my other roommate!

#4 My VERY pregnant sister may be having her baby soon!!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean REALLY, REALLY, REALLY EXCITED!!! Did I mention I’m excited? Haha. I feel a little selfish though, cause I feel like her having the baby soon would help me solve some of my problems. Like avoiding boys and getting some space from my apartment! But I FINALLY got to feel the baby kick/move, so he now has my permission to come whenever! Hahahaha

#5 SLEEP! I have recently had another reminder as to why try to go to bed so early. Last week I was soooooo bad about going to bed on time and so as a result I took more naps, spent less time on homework and studying, wanted to be less productive, then got stressed and upset when all I had left was the last minute and all around just got in a bad cycle. SO Im trying hard to do better this week. I’m still getting back in the swing of things, so its hard, but Im making it!

So, overall, it was a interesting yet uninteresting past little while. I am doing so much better and I am so grateful for all the help I received from those people around me that helped pull me out of my funk! And I am going to try to be better at this. We’ll see….hahaha

Much Love!

princessdagmar!

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:42:46 -0700

Yep, pretty much describes me currently. I was doing so well with updating this and then I forgot like one day and BAM….I completely forget. Like I said, FAIL!!! ahahahahaha

Well, I am currently in a public place, sorta having lunch with my brother in law and sister, so I think i am going to be done for a bit, cause I need to write an epic life update. Which would probably be best done not surrounded by half the population of BYU. And my brother in law, cause he’d tease me till the end of my life about how much I talk about boys.

be back soon!
