So uh....yeah. There's a uh.... *cough* new guy. *cheeks turn rosy red* And uh... *clears throat* I am kinda.... *clears throat louder* I'm kinda... *shifts feet nervously* falling for him. *looks away in shame* I know I shouldn't be thinking about someone right now. I'm... *sad look* I'm leaving. *face turns red* I didn't mean for it to happen. *clears throat* I don't know what I'm going to do. *pouts* I can't stop thinking about him. *face turns a deeper red* I dream about him. There's a constant aching in my stomach when I don't get to see him but the moment I lay my eyes on him *face turns tomato red* that aching turns into butterflies. *shifts feet* HELP!

Vampirates: Tide of Terror (Vampirates)
By Justin Somper

So I didn't meet my goal of getting my papers in before the end of the month.  However, I'm sure I'll get them in during the 1st or 2nd week of November. I'm just waiting on getting a stinkin doctor so I can get my physical done.  That's really all I'm waiting for besides my last dentist appointment.

Updates on the boy department:

1- I'm pretty much over Lance.  There's no way on this Earth that it would work between us...unless he were to grow up and decide to settle down. Sure, I would still be his friend. I probably would go over to his house if he asked me too. If he were in a bind I would definitely be there to help. I just won't let myself like him more than a friend. That's that.

2- Jordan, Jordan. hehe He is quite a character. On Saturday there was this HUGE Halloween party. 10 Single's Wards were invited to go and there were well over 300 people. Jordan dressed as Santa Clause. hahaha It was pretty funny.   Jordan spoke in church this past Sunday and it was really good. Corrine said listening to him made her like him again. lol She said she probably wouldn't date him but the old feelings she had for him before left on his mission came back for that moment. I'm still not sure if I like him enough to date him, but he's still a great friend to have.

3- Jonni is being a huge jerk to Corrine.  He has stood her up twice and rarely answers back to her messages and texts. She knows she should just give up on him because he seriously needs to grow up, but at the same time, she REALLY likes him. There's a song on Carrie Underwood's new CD that I say is her and Jonni's song. One line goes "I say I'm done but then you smile at me and I forget everything I said."  She seriously keeps telling me that she's done with him, but then we see him at another party or whatnot and she falls into his trap again. Poor, poor Corrine.

4- I have started liking Kyle....a lot.  He's definitely a safer bet than Lance. I would actually have a chance with him since he's not as needy as him. Those aren't the only reasons though because that would be pretty shallow. Just certain things...I don't know. Like on our "2nd" date (since the 1st one was a year and a half ago and it was a blind date) we were talking in the bed of the truck and he said he doesn't like to cook. He said that if he had to choose between two girls who to marry, he would choose the one who could cook. Now normally for me I'd think "Well I hope you find her," "Or what if you liked the other one more," or something like that. Instead I thought to myself, "I need to learn how to cook more things." I didn't think about it at the time, but now I wonder why I thought that. I wanted to better myself so that I would be the one he chose.  Weird. Of course I'm not really going to pursue anything since, as we all know, I'm going on a mission. Unless he's married by the time I get back, I could see myself dating him and there might possibly be something there....I guess we'll see.

There are a few other guys, but we'll leave it at that. lol This entry is already long enough as it is. haha Funny thing is that I'm at work right now. Another funny thing is that I'm not allowed on the internet to check mail or anything. The awesome thing is that ALL management are in Phoenix at a business convention at US Airways. lol So no one is here to supervise us.  haha

Hmmmmm.....is there anything else I need to mention that I forgot to??  I don't think so. If I did then I guess I will post it later. Bye!

I really shouldn't care. I'm leaving in a couple of months....but the sad thing is that I do. Why? WHY?!  So....for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about Lance. I'm starting to REALLY like him.  After I left his house last night my hands and knees wouldn't stop shaking. I had butterflies and my heart would beat fast anytime he looked at me or touched me.  *sigh* Who am I kidding? He's one of those guys that can get any girl he wants. He's gorgeous!  He's funny!  He's muscular and fit!  His smile makes you completely melt!  And he likes girls....he likes to be around girls so it's hard to tell if he just likes you for the company or if he actually likes you as a person. *sigh* So this is what I've been dealing with the last couple of weeks. I really shouldn't care but I do. So I'm stuck and I don't know what do.

I forgot to mention that I'll be putting in my papers this week (hopefully). I'm going to buy a map and have anyone that I know (and anyone who wants to) guess where I'm going to go and I'll write their name on the map. Soooo......

Where do you think I'm going to go?


It's an adventure reading through my past entries on xanga. lol Sometimes I just have to lol  to myself at how retarded I was. haha I also think of the dumb things that I've done. aka "Mistakes." The whole thing with Garrett....a mistake.  Going to NAU...a mistake. I just keep making mistake after mistake. I've realized how disobedient I have been. I could have avoided making these mistakes had I just listened.

Once I finally realized this, my life became so much clearer. For once in my life, I finally have a direction and I know where I'm going.  I'm finally starting to get rid of my pride. I'm finally humbling myself and, most importantly, I'm starting to listen. For once I am happy....truly happy.  I don't think I ever really knew what "happiness" was. I wasn't really doing the things I was supposed to be doing. But now I am becoming who I want to be and I am happy.

It is through this so-called "re-birth" that the Lord has given me the prompting to serve a mission. I didn't realize until I acted upon this prompting that God has been "dropping hints"  to me to serve a mission for a while and I've just been to blind and too stubborn to realize it.  I'm sure He knew I would eventually come around.

Even after withdrawing from NAU and moving back home, I still had doubts about whether I had made the right decision. I didn't have a good record of good decisions. I kept praying and praying for a confirmation in my decision. I had a really bad toothache to the point where I couldn't sleep and I had my Dad give me a blessing. He was just about to close the prayer when he paused for a second then he said, "Chantel, your Heavenly Father loves you and is proud of you in your decision to serve a mission. But, prepare quickly for Satan will try everything in his power to keep you from going." That was the answer to my prayer. I am going to serve a mission and I won't let anything or anyone keep me from going. Satan will not win. He's had enough power over me. No more.
