   Preference
Hey everyone!

Well, last Saturday was Preference and I still haven’t told all of you about it! ^^;

Well, actually first I had stake conference for church that night at 6:00 when the dance is at 8:30 so I had to get ready before conference. The ward clerk’s wife did my hair. It was funny... Here’s how I got her help:

The Sunday before the dance I went to a ward fireside for church. It ended at 8:15. Afterwards I met up with my date to clear some details up for preference. We end up talking (at eatting our refreshments for the fireside) until 8:50. When we finally decide that it's time to go, we leave in seperate directions. As I'm heading towads my door, the ward clerk's wife runs up to me calling out for me to wait. When she gets there she links our arms and says, "I saw him smiling at you! Is something going on between you two?" I tell her that I asked him to preference and she gets so excited telling about how wonderful he is and everything. I tell her that I'm a bit nervous though because he's at least three years older then me being an RM and freshman both. She says, "Oh don't worry about it! My husband's 5 years older then me! I got engaged when I was 18 and married about a month after I turned 19. It's nothing to worry about.” In my head I'm freaking out a bit though because she's talking about marriage and I've only been there like 2 months! ^^; After that I walk with her and her husband to their car and askes to do my hair because she loves doing people's hair and I told her that I had no idea what I should do.

So she did my hair, and wonderful job of it I might add! ^^ After my hair was done another friend (who also happens to be my date’s family home evening sister for church) did my make-up. She did a great job too! ^^ Matched everything really well using the small variety of make-up I own!

After Conference the boys came over (I went on a double date with another friend) and made us dinner. Actually they made us breakfast for dinner! ^^ Blueberry pancakes, bacon, and this thing that one of them called calorie casserole (A weird quiche type thing with sausage, potatoes and eggs). They also brought some sparkling cider. I love that stuff! ^^ They let me keep the bottle! ^^;

The dance itself was also a lot of fun! He is in a dance class up here so he taught me some dances for fun. They played swing music twice and he taught me moves that I didn’t know before and it was so much fun! ^^ One of the things that happened while at the dance was that we got into a big group with others, but ended up across from each other. That was no fun for me because I asked him to the dance to dance with him and not across from him. So finally I say that I give up and walk across the circle to be next to him and he gave me a high-five for it. Shortly there after we rather separated from the group and danced just the two of us which I had never actually done before during regular music, so that was fun too! ^^

After the dance we went into the dorms for my lounge because guys aren’t allowed in after 11:00 and it was around 11:30. We stayed in there until the boys were kicked out of the lounge at 12:52 because there is a 1:00 curfew. It was actually rather hard to say goodnight, and no I didn’t get a kiss. We hugged, but it was a nice hug. ^^

I think we both had a great time. I say this because we went to a church stake dance and hung out just the two of us there too and unless he had a good time too, I don’t think he would have come.
