Positive Self-Talk

Beauty...is the shadow of God on the universe.


Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

Be not afraid, only believe.

Oh geez.

Well folks, it's gettin to be that time again...time for another...*drumroll please* ...awkward Kayla story!!!

So working as a lab assistant at BYU is never dull. In fact, there's usually something to laugh about/gripe about/make fun of every day, given the dumb questions that people ask, weird situations that arise, etc. Of all the things that have happened thus far, however, I'd say this one takes the cake.

Last week I get this email from one of my managers, Lisa. She starts the email- "This is an email coming from your friend Lisa, not your boss Lisa!" (With an intro like that, you know it's gonna be good.) She continues-

"
I have something a little personal to ask you. I have a friend who is in the labs quite often and let’s just say he has noticed you." (That's right, you did just read 'let's just say he has noticed you'. COULD she have put that in a creepier way??) "Are you dating someone right now? Because if you are then that’s all I need to know, but if not Joe (is his name) would really like to ask you on a date. Let me know what you think!"

Um excuse me, what?!? Hahahha. I laughed so hard when I read this. Even harder when I looked at the picture she had attached of him. It was the same guy who had come up to me multiple times the day before at work to ask me weird questions. Oh wow...

First of all, this was just a little creepy. To go behind my back, to my BOSS, WHO I HAVEN'T EVER SAID 3 WORDS TO, to get the inside scoop on my dating life before you ask me out?? I'm the type of person that doesn't mind talking to people I don't know...I would have much rather him ask me to my face if I was dating someone than go about it in such a roundabout, stalkerish way.

Second of all, way to dig yourself into a hole. Every time he walks into the computer lab from now on, I'm going to recognize him as the guy that was too scared to ask me out.

I guess you are probably wondering how I responded to her email. I said something to the effect of- I'm flattered, but I actually am dating someone right now (true story), thanks anyway.

Would you have done any different?

A Sunday Afternoon.

Sooo one Sunday Alyse and I took glamor shots of the boys... and they all actually turned out to be surprisingly photogenic...hahaha.

(We had a little too much fun with our roles as photographer/director of photography...
...please don't judge them/us :D )









And Grandma, for your benefit...
