You are "IT" (whom ever is reading this) (Misty I believe you are the only one... haha!)

Halloween

Wow, this week has been another crazy week. Ups and downs, but it was well worth it. 

It really wasnt' too bad. 

Zachary called to tell me he had a girlfriend and I was like "hmm, okay?" i really don't care? haha, he thinks i care but i really don't. I am the one that turned him down when he brought up the idea, not the other way around, so he should be the one that is upset. He confuses me, but whatever, he is a good guy and i am glad he found someone to love him and make him happy. I guess he just wants me to care more then I do, but its hard when I don't really understand the reasoning and the things he has chosen to hide from her. His life, not mine.... just waiting for that call to say they broke up. 

Anyway. I got my purity ring, and have chosen to wear it. I am still a little questionable about it, but it is something i want to do for me right now, and if i change my mind later after in a relationship then we will see what happens, but for now, i would rather get into a relationship with a guy who knows and can visually see that i am waiting until marriage and then change my mind after a while then get into one, with that being the only thing on his mind. 

Halloween..... Angela and I were going to have a friend over for the night, but her mom decided that she wanted to go to the movies with her instead, and Eddie and Nathan ended up backing out, so it was just the two of us. We watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre and i seriously laughed through that movie instead of being scared or screaming/jumping. I apparently am not a good scary movie person as this has been the 2nd  one i have laughed through. We also watched The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Bucket List. 

On the spare of the moment i decided that I would send a "Happy Halloween" text to Oliver as i do on every holiday, not expecting anything back, but he did! He sent a text saying he was in town and wanted to get together! It was amazing! I was so excited! So we got together at about midnight :) He is a great guy, and if i can "become the person you (me) are in text" we will have a second chance. I don'tunderstand that i am different from text to person, but apparently i am and will work on that. I want this second chance and am grateful that i could actually end up with one! He is a great guy, and I am thankful for that surprise last night! It was a great Halloween. 

Today I went to Walmart and got candy for 50% off which is great! It makes up for not going trick or treating or having the left overs from handing it out. 

I hope to hear from you. I hope your Halloween went great! 

I love you,

Jennifer

Past 2 weeks

These past two weeks.... WOW! Totally has had its ups and downs, a little too ridiculous if you ask me, but i guess that is just life. 

The weekend of October 17-18 I went out with Nathan and Eddie and Angela. It was a BLAST. Friday night i was originally planning on going up to Boulder but decided against that and decided to stay and hangout. Nathan and I decided we were going to go see a movie called Max Paine. We getting Angela and Eddie to go with us, but we had 2 hours before the movie to do something, so we went to walmart because everyone else needed to go, and i was just going to go on saturday anyway. So we get to walmart and it is about 8pm. We walk around and then end up in the movie section at which point we decided to buy a movie. I have never seen a scary movie and thats what they wanted to see so we decided on Halloween. That was NOT scary nor even creepy! We left Walmart about 9:45 or so, and got back to the dorm and we decided to watch it in my room. So, it was Eddie, Nathan and I on my bed and angela was on hers. We watch this movie and not even halfway through i begin to fall asleep. It wasn't creepy or scary.... just stupid and boring. Eddie however was hilarious! He jumped so much during the movie, even breaking his necklace at one point. Nathan actually even jumped because it was "creepy" at one point, i just laughed. We then played some games and Eddie and Nathan left about 2am. It was a good night. 

Saturday was a very early morning as Eddie and I left for a hike. We had this hike planned for a while and so we didn't want to cancel as who knew when the weather would turn horrible.  We went up to Horsetooth Reservoir and hiked for a good 3.5 hours! It was amazing! The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful. I took over 150 photos and enjoyed the whole time we were there. After we left we were headed to get lunch when Nathan called and wanted us to join him for dinner at 5:15 with his sister.... so that was only 2 hours away, so we just got a hamburger from McDonalds and headed to the mall so we could get Eddie a new chain for the necklace that broke on Friday. We saw Nathan at the mall with his sister so that was interesting. We went back to the dorm just as Nathan and his sister arrived so that worked out perfectly. I went and got a sweatshirt and we jumped in Nathan's sisters car, got dinner and went for ice cream. We then went to a scary cornmaze and it was interesting. haha, i thought it would be scary, but it really wasn't..... Eddie of course was so freaking scared it was so funny! He jumped at everything we heard and saw, and so did Heather (nathan's sister). Nathan tried to scary me a few times, but only got me to actually jump once. It was interesting to say the least. We had so much fun in the 3 cornmazes and we experienced some great things and we had a great time! I really enjoyed being out of the dorm and hanging with some fun people! We are going to try and do something fun like that with the three of us (Heather doesn't live in CO) at least once a month. 

This past week had is downs and i got so stressed it was too hard to overcome! It was ridiculous, i know i ruined some test grades that i could have done well on because of everything going on. 

For some reason i have been really thinking of Oliver A LOT and it is really killing me! I miss that kid so much and so i have been talking to him a lot and we have been talking about relationships and that lovely stuff, but i don't know what i want to do. I don't know if i can do it again. I really don't know, but it has been bringing me down to a low i never thought i would encounter. We will see what happens. 

Nathan is also being really weird. Things between us have been really hard because some girl has told him that she likes him but he doesn't like her like that and so she has been talking to me about it, and its hard because i could really careless and i dont' now how to make it easier on her. She is a great girl, but if he doesn't like her then there isn't anything i can do and she wants me to fix it. Nathan has been talking to me about her and what he should do to get her off of his back so that has been weird. I don't know.... its a complicated situation and things just need to be uncomplicated. I also figured out that this past week has been about me helping others and not doing anything for myself. 

This past weekend i didn't do much other then go out with my mum and stepdad. We just went to Old Town and walked around and then went shopping for a few things. Sunday i didnt' do anything except my biology project with a very crabby Nathan and then i just went to bed early. 

Monday was a crappy day, was pissed most of the day and didn't want to do anything.  I then was approached with the idea of a purity ring. I am unsure how i really feel about that? What honestly is a purity ring? I know the basics, but i want to understand the whole thing! I don't know much of anything about it so i am confused other then that you wear is on your ring finger until you get married and only at that time is it removed and replaced with your wedding ring. I dont' know if i want to accept the challenge to the fullest? I know i am abstaining and that lovely stuff, but i dont' know if i want a ring that says i am a virgin for the whole world to see! So confusing...... :(

That has pretty much been my life since i last posted a few things! 

I hope to hear from you soon! 

I will post more when i get a chance, i need to get to class. 

I love you.

October 3rd through 5th

So, 

I left for Alamosa on the 3rd of October for a few days and have the best time ever! 

I got to meet a guy named Zachary whom i had been talking to for over a year and we had gotten to know each other very well. He is just as great of a guy in person as he has been through email, text, Im and phone conversations. 

It was a 5 hour long drive but once i got there it was totally worth it! I really like it there, even though at first it looked like an abandoned town and was all scary looking but it was all good. I enjoyed it and the outdoors is amazing! The campus is also really nice, but the dorms really are not. As I walked through one of the dorm halls with Zachary it felt like a prison cell and was really just not comforting. 

I did end up staying at Zachary's appartment on the COUCH! hehe

Saturday Zachary and I took a walk, talked, walked around the tiny little town, and watched 2 movies. He took me out to eat lunch/dinner and it was yummy! That evening i went to see Nick, whom some of you know as my "ex" and i met his fiance and that wasn't bad at all, but he just made it more ackward then it should have been becasue that is just how he is. Zachary and Nick do not get along at all, so it was really just weird going to see Nick when i was staying at Zachary's but whatever....Nick can get over it, he is getting married anyway! 

Sunday I had breakfast with Zachary and then I left town and headed back to Fort Collins around 11. It only took about 4 hours to get back enstead of the 5 hours it was suppose to take, but i didn't mind! I was soooo tired, i needed sleep, i didn't get much while in Alamosa. 

So, overall, that was my first road trip by myself and I had the most amazing time ever! I really enjoyed being out and having fun! I don't see how I can have more fun in the Springs and in Alamosa where I dont' even live and here i am in Fort Collins and am not having much fun!

Oh, well....i still don't know what i am going to do about next semester but I think at this rate i might just stay here but I don't know....we will see

I am going to be hanging out with Nathan a lot more because we are in biology lecture and lab together, and we also have a study group with one other person named Eddie together on Wednesday nights, and now we have a biology research project we need to do together. I really like being with Nathan, he is a fabulous guy. He makes me laugh, and makes me forget about the ridiculous people here at CSU, it is great. I have talked to Nathan, and we plan on doing CdLS as our reseach project/presentation which i am excited about. 

I am going on a hike with Eddie (study group guy) on the 18th and I am really excited about that! I am so ready to do something fun and exciting and get out of Fort Collins again and just enjoy nature! I love being outdoors and this is the perfect opportunity, especially with the leaves and things changing!!!

Well, I believe that is all for now, family weekend is coming up the 10th -12th and I believe mum and Loyal are the only ones coming up...but we plan on going to Estes Park on Saturday and that will be exciting because my mum is brining my real camera up!!!! Yay! I miss that thing!!

Well, i hope you all are doing okay and I hope to hear from you all!
