The Bachelorette...Oklahoma Style.

This blog really covers all aspects of my life. Most blogging "experts" say to focus on one area of your life.

But I've never been one to do things the simple way.

So instead of talking about work and school....let's talk about something different.

Boys. Men.

Can I just say that there is quite the number of worthy, handsome gentleman here in the great state of Oklahoma? I mean seriously, I told a friend that it feels like I'm on an episode of the Bachelorette, and I have no idea how to handle it! You would think living in the land of milk and honey (Utah) I would have found that Mr. Right awhile ago....but I don't think my husband is at BYU. At least that's what I tell people. But I somewhat believe that. And feel that.

And I also believe he's somewhere closer than I think. The only problem is, I leave in about five weeks. My heart usually breaks a little every time I have to move back. But this time it's practically killing me.

You see, there's a boy who's caught my eye. Don't get too excited...we aren't seriously dating. The whole long distance relationship isn't his cup of tea. So we are just having fun and seeing where the next few weeks will take us. But part of me wonders what would happen if I stayed here. Would things be different?

All I know is that I need to place my trust in the Lord, and whatever the outcome is..I know it's right. Because when man plans, God laughs. But when your plans are God's plans....great things will come of it.

I believe that. I feel that. I know that.

  1. Jess, I am sure you are praying hard about this. And honestly you need to do what you feel best. Who knows, maybe you'll end up staying in OK because of this guy. Once you get your answer don't let anything hold you back from doing it. You will be better off in the end!

  2. One of my favorite things about my now husband (then not boyfriend because he was going on a mission) and I's relationship was the time he was at home and I was out here. We talked on the phone, text each other inside jokes and just kind of had fun. It allowed us to build are already seemingly tight friendship and we got to know each other on a whole other level.
    When it cam time for us to date, all of that was already in place. He knew my weird quirks, family stories and my favorite music etc.

    Sometimes friendship has to come first... and sometimes you just need to move back to Oklahoma ;) jk jk

    All I am saying is either way, this thing can be promising.
