Road Trip! +details

Well all I'll say about our first date was that it was great. We watched a BYU Basketball game, went to dinner, and then just sat on his couch and talked for like 3-4 hours... that was Saturday, I made an excuse to see him Sunday, and then Monday he asked when he could take me out again. I said "Whenever you would like too!" haha I've seen him almost everyday since.

Things about Ray:
  • Ray is 28. I about crapped my pants when I found that out the first time I facebook stalked him. I thought he was MAYBE 26. sheesh! haha so yes we are 7 years apart, but I don't really notice to be honest... our age difference has been more of a joke than an issue.
  • Ray is going to be a Seminary Teacher (but he has to be married before they'll hire him to teach.. no pressure. ha)
  • Ray is a photographer... which is fun! He does a lot of weddings/engagements, but I think his best pictures are of landscapes, old buildings, etc.
  • Ray is a scriptorian unlike anyone I've ever met around his/my age.
  • Ray served his mission in Billings, Montana... everyone gives him the pity look when he says that, but like every other missionary, he thinks Montana is the bomb-- who knew! ha he especially loves it because he has been able to visit his mission at least once a year since he came home.
  • Ray LOVES to go jeeping... He drives a large green jeep. It's a blast.
  • Ray plays the guitar and the banjo.

That's pretty much his story! He invited me about 2 weeks ago to come with him, his best friend, and his best friend's little sister on a road trip to Palmyra, New York! At 10pm tonight the four of us will be getting in the car and driving straight to Missouri. yuck. haha the agenda is Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Nauvoo, Carthage, Kirtland, Niagra Falls, Palmyra (sacred grove & hill cumorah), Harmony, Missouri, then home. It's going to be a PACKED 10 days, but I'm excited :D I went to Nauvoo almost exactly one year ago and I am STOKED to go back. I love that place.

We're staying with people all along the way... so I'm not sure if I'll have wifi, but I'll update when/if I can!
PEACE OUT.

ps Lakyn moved out a week ago. I am LOST without her.
but we talk on the phone almost everyday :D love her so much!
