The Time Of My Life

I am finally with my girls after an amazing week with Mr. Incredible! We are set to go watch New Moon together tomorrow and afternoon since Becky absolutely must go back to Idaho tomorrow evening. :( Sad sad day my friends. But at least we will al be together for Christmas and even Mr. Incredible will be there!!!! I said it would be only fair that he come down with me since I went up with him to his parents. His mom was so ecstatic when I asked her if that would be okay. Seriously I think his parents really like me, because really they are letting me take their son whom I really have not known that long at Christmas time. I mean it was fine for me to go up on Thanksgiving since I wasn't going to spend it with my family anyways, but his family actually likes him and wants him there you know? Anyways I am excited because Jess's family is basically my adopted family and they sure are going to put Mr. Incredible to the test hahaha she has older and younger brothers and they are all super protective of the both of us girls. To be fair I gave him warning so he is preparing himself hahaha.

On another note I called Phil and congratulated him on his engagement. I didn't really say anything to him when he told me and I kind of just realized I sort of just disappeared on everyone back home...yeah luckily my boss understands and he didn't fire me or anything. In fact his exact words when I told him where I was were, "Nikki it is about time you had the time of your life." Seriously I think he watched too much Dirty Dancing or something recently! I even called Phil's little lover and told her I would be thrilled to help her out. I mean seriously I know how to throw a wedding together and why not rise above the situation and bestow some kindness upon her. It really isn't all her fault that Phil is a complete moron with how he runs his life.

This past week Mr. Incredible opened my heart and eyes to everything I was shutting myself away from. He helped me let go of my anger towards Phil and he even helped me open up to the possibilities of something more with him.

Ladies we can't let our past entirely dictate how we are going to live today. My bishop once told me that we have to remember but forget. Remember what we learned but forget ( or let go) of what we did to learn something. Well he was talking to me about a sin actually but it applies to everything yeah? Like if you burn your hand on the stove. Remember that hot stoves burn hands, but forget you actually were stupid enough to touch a hot stove. Does that make any sense? If I let the hand burning incident dictate my life I would never want to use a stove for fear of being burned a second time. Instead I remember what I learned and I go on using the stove acting as if I never did get burned. This was also the same Bishop who told me I should prepare for a mission but that he highly doubted I would last a year without getting married. Jokes on you! I lasted the year with a whole half of another! In your face! Okay so I almost got married, but almost doesn't count.

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
Nikki

P.S.- I just have to say that Mr. Incredible and I have yet to have a DTR, but we are still trying to feel the situation out.

So So Thankful!

I, Nikki, am thankful for my family, my friends (new and old), and my faith. For without those three things I would be nothing! I am Thankful for the experiences that Heavenly Father has given to me this past year and I am thankful gor the ones that are definitely headed my way. I am thankful to be alive and to be living on this Earth at this time. I am Thankful for the missionaries who found me and baptized me, and even though they aren't members and can be a huge pain to me I love love love my family and am so very much thankful that they are a part of my life.
...Also I am thankful for my own Mr. Incredible for living up to his name and totally rescuing me. Also I am thankful for his family because they have done nothing but be family to me and take me in.


I, Becky, am pretty much grateful for everything in my life. My mom and sister who have welcomed me home for this week with open arms, the awesome people in the Single's Ward who keep asking me to come back home, Mr. Clean who has been showing me a good time and showing me that our small town is actually a ton of fun, and most importantly this Church! I am so Thankful for my schooling, my job, my family, my friends, and just about anyone and everything. I am thrilled to be a part of this life and to have all the adventures that can be had!

I, Jess, am THANKFUL for my husband and our little one on the way! I am THANKFUL for my family (Nikki and Becky included) and all the support I recieve from them. I am THANKFUL for the ladies in the Relief Society for ALWAYS giving me tips and advice about being pregnant and I am also THANKFUL for my Heavenly Father bringing me to this point in my life where I am just filled with SHEER BLISS!!!!!!!! I am grateful for the blessings of the Temple and for the wonderful journeys that bring us all closer to Him!

We, The Girls, are ecstatic and excited about being a part of this blog! We are grateful for all of you who read our blog and have commented on our posts. We are thankful for the fact that people out there actually want to see what we have to say, even if it is kind of pointless at times. The three of us are all equally grateful to be a part of each other's lives and for the friendship and support we provide each other!!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!

Love,
The Girls

*shakes head*

Girls it makes me sad to see so many of you sitting around complainging about how guys don't notice you instead of just going out there and getting some guy yourself. I know that isn't exactly the ideal thing but perhaps you all need to be a bit proactive in your own lives with that? Now I am NOT saying you need to just walk up to some guy you like and kiss him or anything....ALTHOUGH that would be pretty awesome to see start happening!!!!!
What I am saying is don't stand in the rain and than complain that you are getting soaked. It doesn't work like that. You have to be SMART about life and about guys. Don't read into signs with your girls, don't sit around mulling over every little thing he does like...breathing in your direction does NOT mean he likes you!!!!!!! If you want to know how a guy feels just go and ask him!!! *GASP* Do what?! Yeah that's right ASK THE BOY!!!! Now some guys may not like that but I have found that a lot of guys will be refreshingly honest about their opinions and feelings....honestly I think it was the fact that someone asked them about it hahaha. I did get a lot more dates after I started asking guys about how they felt so who knows?! That could be the key we ladies have been missing all along. Usually we sit around with our friends trying to analyze what on Earth the guy could be thinking to the point where anything and everything he does is some kind of sign.
...Really now asking you where the bathrooms are is NOT some huge massive sign saying "I LIKE YOU!!!!"

Just ask...oh and guys that read this blog...if you like a girl tell her because the chances are that she already is trying to figure out if you like her. Another things that gets me is when guys ask a girl out on a date over TEXT!!!!!!!!!! What the fetch?!!!! You don't ask someone out over text and you definitely do not break up with someone over text. Have the balls to do it in person or at the very least over the phone! Girls that goes for you too! People have generally lost the art of communicating and it has lead to so many misunderstandings in relationships. If Derek hadn't have asked me out in person and even told me how he felt in person without shaving some weird motive to make out I probably wouldn't have told him I was interested. Really I do understand it is unnerving to share with another person your own personal feelings, but think of the blessings that can come from it! One the one hand you face PAINFUL AGONIZING REJECTION that lets you pick yourself up and move on to someone even better (hopefully) and on the other hand you could end up meeting Mr. (or Mrs.) Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now tell me what is so wrong with that???

Loves and Fluffs,
Jess

Well it is about time!

I finally got my laptop to work which i had forgotten to mention why I was on my mom's computer and not mine. Now I can put up my icon and not feel all exposed and naked. Okay so I didn't really feel naked but hey you get the metaphor don't you?
Anyways I love being back in my hometown seeing all my old friends and gossiping about who is dating who and who is doing what. Being up in Idaho sure does leave one out of the loop. Life is pretty crazy in this town, especially since so many of Jess and Nikki's classmates have gotten married this year, Jess included! Let me tell you it really makes one feel old when people close to their age are getting married and said single person hasn't been on a date in almost a year! How is that even possible? It isn't like I have put out an advertisement that I don't want to date or anything. I just don't get why guys have no problem asking my roommates out all the time but they don't bother to ask me. I am nice to them all and talk to them more than the others do. Can anyone explain this to me?

On a side note I ran into this RM in town that I haven't seen for two years, since he just got home, and oh my word he is very good looking. Most guys can't do bald but he wears it well. Weird huh? I am kinda digging the Mr. Clean thing he has got going on. IDEA! I am going to call him Mr. Clean from now on. Hey if Nikki can give someone a nickname I can do it too. Well I got to go now, helping my mom get the house ready for Thanksgiving, and I just might have a date later tonight. More details on that later.

Sunday Thoughts From One of the Girls

Today at Church in every single meeting the word "Service" was mentioned. In every lesson and every talk. I seriously think that Heavenly Father is really trying to get His children to listen up about service. Otherwise everything would have been about...other stuff.

One thing that really stuck to me was a principle that I have heard a hundred times, "By small and simple things, are great things come to pass."  Today it really got me to thinking though, because the small acts of service we can do for someone may just seem tiny to us, but they could have a major effect on someones day and maybe even help them with a problem they are trying to overcome. Like simply asking someone how they are doing or holding the door open for someone or even just smiling and saying "Hello." A little kindness goes a long way in serving our fellow brothers and sisters.

When we serve our fellow man (or woman) we serve ourselves and our Heavenly Father. Who better to take care of His children than family?

He is a keeper

So right now I can't do much of anything because I SPRAINED MY KNEE!!! Yeah that is right I am so graceful I tripped on AIR and somehow managed to sprain my knee...Poor Mr. Incredible had planned so many activities to (as his mom says) "show me off" but on the very first one we went hiking and what not and I was walking and tripped on nothing! I was in a lot of pain, but he gave me a blessing right away and than he carried me all the way back to the car. We were almost done with the four mile hike people and he carried me all the way back! Best thing is though we went to the hospital and the doctor said he was surprised that my knee wasn't completely mangled..Power of the Priesthood anyone?

I am picking up some mad cooking skills though from his dad and it isn't all that bad sitting around the house with him and his family. Overall this week has turned out pretty well, despite having a bum leg.

Love, Peace, and Chicken grease,
Nikki

Our Apologies

So I am at my mom's house right now and I popped on to read what Nikki wrote because she is lame and doesn't like to repeat things so anyways I got on and there was a comment written by Melanie saying she thinks this blog is written by one person. Well Melanie I do hate to rain on your parade, but this blog is in fact written by three different people. If the writing styles seem similar it is because they are in fact similar. Nikki was smart when she chose who to invite to write the blog, see she is always making people think twice and she knew that by adding the two people who write very similar to her that the readers would not be sure whether it was one person or not.

...You have no idea how excited you are making Nikki. Personally we can write in different styles, but when we went into this blog we decided on several things.
1. We would TRY to be as anonymous as possible although I am pretty sure we fail at that because once you figure out who one of us is you will find out the rest.
2. We wanted to write similarly because it would throw people off to whether this blog is valid or not
3. We want honesty...but to a point. We aren't going to spin yarns about things, but we also will omit some of the more personal details about our lives as they are happening.

There are other things but the main point I am trying to get across is that we are in fact three seperate people and we do in fact write on this blog. Now if you all want different writing styles we can relax the rules for you all since apparently Nikki's twisted plan has been working. Sorry if any of you thought we three were in fact just one!

Becky

P.S- Melanie thanks for saying our blog is cute!

I Got Me Some...

Okay People Christmas Came Early this year for me!!!!!! (Yes this is Nikki and YES I broke the chain and took Becky's Spot but she said I could so whatever!) But guess what just happened?! Corey and I drove forevers (okay like not really since HE drove and I SLEPT) to his parent's house and his mom had done his room up all nice with clean sheets (even though no one had been sleeping in them forever) and she had febreezed his room all good smelling and she looked at him and was like "Sweety YOU are sleeping in the den." Corey's face was PRICELESS!!!!! He was smiling and than his face got all sad and than he just looked like he was going to cry. His mom just laughed at him and told him to relax.
I should really be asleep but we got here so early in the morning that we figured we would just stay up for the rest of the time...Well Corey is out like a lightbulb right now and asleep in his actual bed and not the den...he is actually pretty cute when he is sleeping all curled up in a ball. NO we did not do anything wrong just made out a little but that was OUTSIDE and we came in and were talking and he helped me unpack my stuff and he gave me a tour of the house, but I made him lay down because he was yawning a whole lot. I am on his laptop right now updating. Now I might not be on for a bit because his mom informed me that this next week is going to be action packed and busy, but I wanted to update you all with this.

I feel really good about this...idk call me weird but I seriously prayed before coming up here and I know it is a GOOD thing that I came. So no worries! I was kinda freaking out thinking it was rushing things or whatever, but after I prayed I felt calm about it like Heavenly Father was telling me to "Chill Out". Well I got to go now...Corey's Dad just came in and asked me if I wanted to learn how to make his "famous" Egg's Benedict...apparently Corey told him I like to cook! BAHAHAHA Wish me luck!!!

Bleh...

Being Pregnant in the winter is NOT the brightest idea I have ever had. My feet are always freezing and I am always hungry, but it is too cold to go out and get the food I want because NATURALLY the food we have at home is not the food I am craving. OH! I am at my in-laws house right now because the heater in the apartment broke and Derek called his dad and asked him to come get me. Poor Derek is out there working right now. Seriously who in their right mind would ask someone to come clean their windows when it is FREEZING out there?! Anyways my poor baby didn't want me and the baby to freeze in our apartment all alone so he figured being at his parents would be better...and it is! It is fun here with his mom and his dad is such a hoot!

Nikki you little slut!!!!!! OH MY FETCH I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU ARE GOING TO THIS GUY'S HOUSE FOR THANKSGIVING INSTEAD OF SEEING BECKY AND I!!!! You go girl!!! I loved the picture you sent of you two and girls let me tell you he is a STUD!!!!!

Becky girl we need to get you a warm slice of yummy to cuddle up to this winter....like...hmmm I totally know a guy! What's his face that came to my wedding with you? I know you always say you two are "just friends" but really you fight like an old married couple already and I wouldn't mind snuggling with him...if I had never met Derek that is.

Winter is such a good snuggling time of the year...I mean you cuddled up in some blanket watching movies with popcorn and hot cocoa (or in Nikki's case Hot Cider) and you just let the magic work! Not to mention winter clothes are soooo cute! I LOVE wearing long sleeved sweaters and scarves and all that awesome stuff. Not to mention the cute mittens and earmuffs! I am going to have to post some links for you girls because I always believe in a healthy sense of fashion. Not really to make an impression on people, but it is hard to feel ugly when you are wearing fabulous clothing!

Sometimes I think that is the problem. I see these GORGEOUS girls and they don't even realize their potential and more than half the time they are wearing these dowdy clothes and don't make them feel as pretty as they are! I always say a good pair of jeans can make anyone feel special. Okay so Dinner is ready and my baby wants to eat...practically demanding it!

Loves and Fluffs,
Jess

*Sigh*

I am not on a computer that has our icons...and I don't want Corey to know I blog...especially about what I am about to write....

So I am at Corey's apartment right now and it is after curfew! OOH REBEL! BAHAHAHA no but really it is late and none of his roommates are home which is really weird but I guess most of them left early for thanksgiving...OH! Becky and Jess I am going to have to cancel our Thanksgiving plans because Corey's parents basically conned me into spending the week with them!!! EEK this is serious I think, but oddly enough it doesn't feel bad or anything. The best part is that he is so not even afraid to be all lovey in front of his parents and his mom even commented that we are "so natural"...all I know is that the man can kiss! Seriously I nearly faint every time. WHOO NELLY!!!! I don't know what I am going to do but...oh snap he is COMING!

TTYL!!!!!

How in the crap?!

That is right Nikki I am going to be calling you out for all of our readers to see what an IDIOT you are! People Nikki met a guy who basically is her equal in every form....I have known him for a long time so I know this okay? Anyways he asked her on a date and they went this afternoon because he is leaving tonight to visit family...anyways he took her out to eat and picked chinese food which is both of their favorite and then they went to a park and went swinging on swings and he even let her boss him around when she got into one of her photography moods and wanted to take pictures! Not a lot of guys are that patient with her when she goes on one of her picture rampages...anyways He went and got some of them developed as gifts for his mom! He even printed one of the two of them to show his mom the girl who did that for him!!!! I mean seriously what guy does that??? And on the first date! Nikki was really impressed and she even gave him her phone number (which trust me she NEVER does unless it is for some class assignment). He dropped her off and they hugged and she gave him a kiss cheek which is actually really out of character and once he leaves she turns to me and she is like "Why on Earth are you not with that boy?"

O_O

Nikki thinks he is perfect alright but for me! Can you people please tell her that there is chemistry, but not between he and I? Seriously they were both GLOWING after the date and really it was more like something COUPLES do...definitely not a first date thing. Nikki never just takes pictures of random guys and she never lets anyone print them out...especially as gifts to their mothers! GAH! I swear next time I see Phillip I am going to punch him so hard in his manhood for messing Nikki up.

On a much happier note I talked to Corey (Nikki's future husband) and he was massively impressed and he is fixing on asking her on another date. Yeah Nikki that is RIGHT he likes YOU!!! BAHAHAHAHA I WIN! You HAVE to go out with him again because Girl I have never seen you so happy even when you are telling me to get with him myself hahaha You like him and you know it!

People we need to help her realize that she could actually be happy with Corey!

Laters my Gators,

Becky

Seriously Girls

Nikki and Becky you two are basically the most AMAZING young women I have ever met and Becky you can not go anti-love and Nikki...boys are stupid...that is why I married a MAN. HAHAHAHA I couldn't resist that sorry, but you both so totally know that Derek is a BEAST *rawr*. Anyways I totally know that you two are going through some stuff right now and that it seems like you are going to get older and older without a man by your side and that you will never get to feel the wonderfullness of having a life growing inside of you, but you can't actually BELIEVE that you won't ever find a guy because than it might actually happen *gasp* and we don't want that...EVER!!!! I want to see little Nikkis and Beckys running around like you are going to see a little Jess in nine months (or a little Derek depending).

To the reading population in general. You CAN'T let some stupid boys ruin your life. Who needs them?! You are a beautiful daughter of our Heavenly Father and do you really think he wants you dating those losers anyways? NO WAY! No female will ever find a guy or be found unless she learns to love herself. If you don't believe you are worth it no guy will ever believe it. You have to show them that you don't need a guy to be happy. What guy wants to go out with a girl who doesn't know what to do with herself when she is single? I know if I was a guy I would want someone full of confidence in themselves....and also someone who cooks because there is no way I would be the sole cooker in the family. Sheesh who do they think they are marrying? A servant?! I don't think so!

Be confident and find that inner peace. For those of you who are single or sort of single because things with that guy are basically sketchy I highly recommend taking some time to focus on yourself. What do YOU want to do with your life? What are your likes and dislikes? Have you ever gone to a movie and dinner by yourself? Have you ever done anything major by yourself? I once saw this guy at Disneyland and he was there BY HIMSELF! He told me he has done it for years and he is married and has 3 kids all grown up. He started when he was in college. Met his wife at Disneyland actually....well anyways the point is there is a world out there that you can enjoy as a single person...and without friends tagging along. Just because your friends can't do something doesn't mean you can't!!!

Okay the sermon is over! I am off to class now.

Loves and Fluffs,
Jess

Completely Clueless

So I have a ton of guys...not that I am dating them all, but I am not completely oblivious to the fact that some of them WISH we were dating. My problem is that I don't know at all what flirting is or what to think when it comes to guys. I ask Becky ALL the time if things that guys do are a good sign or whatever hahaha poor girl probably gets annoyed by it because I have this nasty habit of asking at the weirdest hours and times and usually like weeks after the whatever actually happened! My problem is that I am NOT a game player...I don't do the flirting thing and I definitely don't like dancing around my feelings. I either share them or I don't. I do not hint at what I might be feeling or thinking. I straight up share my frustrations or happy feelings. Maybe that is my problem. I mean look at me! I had a FANTASTIC guy and all of a sudden he just falls out of love with me??? How on Earth does that happen overnight??? Is being fiercely loyal a turnoff? Because if so I won't be so loyal anymore...I thought guys wanted girls who would stick by them through anything because heaven knows I stuck by Phillip through a ton of things that a lot of people still look down on him for. I even defended him against people that I had known for much longer than him. I was needy or clingy in any way. Yes I did get mad at him at times because he never would really share how he felt, but I didn't push him to share. Heck we even broke up at one point but HE is the one who came crawling back begging for forgiveness saying he couldn't live without me! I took him back and things were even better between us.

Is there something wrong with me? I just want to know what it is about me that turns guys off. How is it that all my guys friends can tell me that I am so awesome and amazing, yet they are the only ones to say that?? How can they think I am this perfectly dateable female when no other guys seem to see it? Of course these guys who tell me these things are all taken or interested in other girls...seriously how ironic is that?! 

*sigh*

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
Nikki

I Do...NOT

Can I just say that I have decided to go anti-love? Yeah that's right I am going to be AGAINST love for...well forever and I really mean it this time! Why on Earth would I want to put myself through the torture that poor Nikki is going through and the icky morning sickness that Jess has...even though that part only lasts for not very long I hear.  I have been so in love with the whole idea of finding a guy and marrying him and all that jazz that I am starting to crack under the pressure of it all! I mean I feel so pressured to go out and get married and have kids and it all is just driving me nuts! Sometimes I feel like people look at me and see my whole purpose here on earth is to get married and have kids. Being a single LDS female can be really rough. I look at Jess and I see how happy she is and I want it yeah, but than I see Nikki, and in my opinion  she isn't one who would be suited for married life at a young age. People she is one of the free-est spirits I have ever met and this whole romance and love thing is caging her in.
Why would I want that for myself? I know marriage isn't some kind of prison or anything, but when you are young and you have a ton of fire in you and you want to go out into the world and explore it...well it can be hard when people expect you to be on the search for the guy you are going to spend eternity with. There are things that you can't do when you are in your 30s and 40s that you can do in your 20s...not really sure what that means but I heard someone say that once. The point of what they were saying is that we can't be afraid to be single and live life as if we didn't even have to get married.
I do want to get married and have kids one day...heck I wouldn't mind just having a boyfriend right now. I just worry that by getting married young I could miss out on an entirely different life.

Tis a lot to think about.

SCORE!

How wicked awesome is it that class was canceled tonight?! I will tell you...WAAAAAAAAAAAY awesome!!!!! I love going to class and everything, but I have been missing Derek lately because we don't get too much time together with both of us working full time and going to school full time. *sigh* well obviously we HAVE spent time together with me being pregnant and all ;) But still it is nice to be able to just hang out with him. We are going to Outback Steakhouse for dinner tonight and than we are going to go see Where The Wild Things Are. I know it has been out awhile, but we haven't seen it yet and since he picked where we are eating I got to pick the movie!

I have noticed we have a lot of girls following us and some (Like one of our readers Kellsi) are waiting for missionaries AND planning wedding stuffs. I am SO happy for you girls!!!!!! I LOVED planning my wedding and everything. It was pretty stressful at times because of work and school, but thankfully I had my family and friends to help out! Nikki and Becky helped out a whole lot...they basically helped my mom run the decorating crew. Girls surround yourself with good friends like that where they will come to help you in ANY situation!! I even had guy friend coming and helping!! It is important to remember that the day is about making sacred covenants with your spouse and Heavenly Father and that you will be with that man for all eternity. Don't get stressed out with the details or if something isn't going right, because in the end all that matters is being there in the Temple with your hubby.

...of course the reception and everything is important but not to the degree where you need to freak out if something goes wrong!

Loves and Fluffs,
Jess

I should explain...

I am NOT hung up on Phillip. I am just going to KILL him for doing what he did how he did it. I mean really now? Taking me to THE spot where we spent countless hours together just to tell me (with HER by his side) that he is getting married. To top it all off the little Pop Tart Princess (Which is what she will be called form now on) has the balls to ask me if I will do her flowers! I really don't know what possessed me to say yes, but I don't go back on my promises so I am stuck helping her out now. UGH!!!!!

As you can probably tell I made it to Idaho and I am sitting in Becky's apartment using her internet because she is still at school and I am retarded and forgot all about that. I have done nothing but sleep all day because I got here around 6 am and we didn't go to sleep til about....well Becky didn't go to sleep actually. I fell asleep around 10:30 or so. I really like what Jess did with the Blog! Becky picked out cute icons too. These girls are amazing with a capital A!!!!!
So interesting story though. My friend Zeke found out what happened and he was texting me ALL LAST NIGHT! The guy is in the freaking military AND he had early morning duty, but he must of kept his phone on him because he was talking to me and telling me to calm down and that Phillip is an....well I can't repeat what he said because than someone would flag the blog for indecent language. Ah Zeke....he cracks me up!

...still hate Phillip though, but oh my fetch does he smell amazingly good and those blue eyes! AAGH I can't get him out of my head and the worst part is I want him there....OMG I think I am still in love with him!

What on Earth am I supposed to do???

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
Nikki

NEW ICONS!

I Becky decided that I am giving everyone new identity Icons because Nikki got to choose the music and Jess got to pick the blog design so VOILA! I am using the time waiting for Nikki to get here by making the blog even better!

Here is Jess' new icon:

Here is MY new icon:

Here is Nikki's new icon:

Pretty sure I have wicked awesome taste and I found icons that fit each of our personalities!!! YAY! Well Nikki should be calling soon and I need to get my room cleaned so she has somewhere nice to sleep! Goodnight everybody!

Nikki is on her way up to me right now from freaking Nevada...it takes forever to get to Provo and than even longer to Rexburg and she isn't stopping (well only for gas and potty breaks)!!!!! I tried to tell her to stay calm and stop in Provo for the night since we have friends there *ahem* Jess...but NOOOOOO Nikki won't because it is too soon to stop apparently. Blast it all to pieces this is why I am NEVER getting married. You guys make us girls crazy and than you act like you have done NOTHING wrong. Not here I am at ONE in the morning waiting for my half crazed best friend to make it up here and than I am going to half to calm her down from her homicidal rage. Nikki doesn't usually show this much emotion so I really don't know what I am going to get by the time she gets here.

In any case I might as well write some more about me so as to not bore you all with writing about Nikki all the time although it is kind of hard not to when you got her on the brain. ANYWAYS my mom is always telling me to hurry up and get married and start giving her grandbabies. Now I know she isn't in a HUGE rush to have me off and married, but a part of me thinks she is so that is why I am always telling her I am not going to get married...ever. Drives her nuts and rightfully so. I plan on serving a mission which by the way Nikki is too, but we both know that things can change which is why we aren't entirely closed off to this whole concept of love. Sometimes though I wonder if it will ever happen for me, I see all my friends in relationships or dating and in some cases married and having babies but I am here with not a clue as to whether guys even notice me or not. I realize I am not alone in this so I am not really complaining..more like...sharing my frustration. I seem to be the one girl that guys trust and are friends with but never more than friends. Yes I did have a relationship previously, but it didn't last very long because I broke it off for personal reasons. Nothing wrong with the guy...it was actually me. Also I always tend to get really attractive roommates that all the guys flock to, but there I will be sitting, invisible to the world. *sigh* I hate this dating thing.

Laters my Gators,
Becky

I Don't Miss It

Okay so I am pretty sure I am not going to get any sleep because:
1. I am feeling naseous (Morning sickness at night...go figure)
2. Nikki drives like a freaking Gremlin when she is mad
3. I am now ADDICTED to blogging *thanks Nikki you are such a pal*

So I thought I would share how NOT envious I am of all you single people out there. I remember being in the dating scene before I met Derek and let me tell you it was no piece of cake. I mean it wasn't like I didn't go on dates...in fact I constantly had guys drooling over me which of course didn't get me many girlfriends to hang out with. Luckily for me I made friends with girls who aren't the jealous type! I have been called attractive and beautiful by many, but honestly I am glad to be married and out of that meat market. Seriously how many RMs can one girl take before she decides not to deal with them?!
Guys you can be a little overzealous on trying to find your "Mrs. Forever" and you tend to creep the girls out. OH and another thing...back off the girls who are waiting for a guy...obviously if they had been interested they wouldn't be waiting for that guy...they would be mooning over you. While I am at it DON'T make a girl think you are wanting something serious when you have no intentions of actually going down any path remotely resembling serious. I had this guy tell my entire family he was going to marry me and that he really wanted to seriously pursue me, yeah he is now married to an entirely different person. YAY for them, but at the time it really hurt that he would do something like that.

Now to mine and Derek's story (since I AM married to the guy and all that)...well we met through some friends at a game night and at first I really didn't have any interest in him other than he was a good friend, but after spending time with him and talking to Nikki and my Mom about him I realized I had been letting my past failed relationships ruin any chance a guy had with me. I opened my heart up slowly to him after that and would you know it I fell in love! He told me one night how he felt and that pretty much sealed the deal (pardon the pun) for me. He is so kind and romantic and he spoils me rotten even though he really doesn't have to. When he proposed he had it all worked out with dinner and a carriage ride at Temple Square...complete with a secret photographer capturing the proposal moment...of course one of my brothers ruined the secret part when he yelled out "SAY NO!" XD It was a magical moment. A few months later we got married and now here we are expecting out first child just a few months after our wedding! Talk about AWESOME!

I guess the point of what my story is that no one should lose hope because love is out there and it can happen to anyone and everyone!

Loves and Fluffs,
Jess

Imma Kill Somebody

I am going to start out by saying that I am Becky and I am really teed off right now. Jess just called me and told me to look at the blog and to be expecting Nikki to call or whatever, so I got on the blog thinking something GOOD happened and what do I see? Phillip has gone and somehow managed to make a bigger jerk out of himself.  Way to go Phillip way to go. Oh and that Alexis girl is going to have another thing coming if she thinks I am going to let Nikki anywhere near that wedding. Poor Nikki...she is not going to handle this very well with Alexis getting the wedding that should have been Nikki's. None of us are going to handle it very well. Thankfully Tony is on his mission although it is going to take everything they have over there to stop him from coming over here and beating Phillip to a pulp. He already did it once, but that time people actually stopped it. This time I can't think of a single person who would.
:( Poor Nikki.

Well I guess I might as well introduce myself. I am Becky. I live in Idaho and go to BYU Idaho where I am a Horticulture Major. I graduated a year after Nikki and Jess, but we were all in the audition choir together so we all became really close friends. I am a convert like Nikki, but my family converted with me so I had it a bit easier. I guess I am on this blog because I have had one relationship and it lasted about two weeks....yeah I am not very good when it comes to guys. I have self esteem enough, they all just see me as one of them and they always come to me for advice about other girls. What is with that? And what is with Jess being on a singles blog? Nikki, Jess is right...your logic fails me sometimes, but I guess the experiences of someone IN love could help...I guess.

Later My Gators,
Becky

OMG OMG OMG

PHILLIP IS THE DOUCHIEST OF DOUCHEBAGS EVER!!!

I just got Nikki's info about this blog thing and BAM here I see that Phillip has FINALLY gone and outdone himself with this whole marriage thing AND Alexis has decided to be an idiot and make an even bigger enemy out of Nikki....BTW Nikki why on EARTH are you going to do her FLOWERS?! Seriously make them all balck roses or idk go Addams' Family style and cut the flower heads off so it is just ugly stems!

Now that that is done I will introduce myself. Hi I am Jess! I myself am 21 and I graduated with Nikki. Pretty sure we are sisters from other misters because we have so much in common and get along like you wouldn't believe! I myself have an interesting story about love lost like Nikki which I think is the reason why she asked me to write on the blog.

See I waited but dated for two years for this guy while he was on his mission...he came home and four days later he proposed. We were going to get married the next month. When things started to get closer to the wedding date he changed...got controlling and he had to know EVERYTHING about what I was doing and who with. He even told me I couldn't hang out with Nikki because at the time she wasn't LDS...Seriously that was the final straw. No one tells me what I can or can not do except my parents, church leaders, and Heavenly Father! Needless to say two weeks before the weddin I called it off. He is happily married now and to be honest so am I...Nikki why do you have a married woman on your blog? A PREGNANT MARRIED woman on a blog titled SINGLE Mormon Chicks???? Your logic fails me, but I like it so I will stay.

BTW My husband Derek is amazing and the best husband ever! He was previously married but she disappeared and he filed for divorce....anyways he is so loving and kind and he won everyone over (trust me with Nikki it is hard to get that approval but she approved before he even had recognized his feelings for me!) We have been married for three months and we just found out that I am pregnant!!!! Massage school is going to be interesting now since I can't lie down on my stomach, but oh well!

Oh yeah I am in school to be a massage therapist and Derek is in school to be an accountant. We are loving life.

Sorry Nikki for basically talking about married stuff...hey be safe driving up to Idaho. I am going to give Becky a heads up just fyi....good luck with everything!

Loves and Fluffs!
Jess

What do I do?

Is murder illegal when the person being murdered deserves it??? Because if so than I won't get to properly express my anger at Phillip right now.

He is marrying Alexis...for reals this time they are going through with it. How do I know this? Oh let me tell you. HE sent me a TEXT saying that we needed to "talk" so I (being the idiot that I am) agreed to meet with him at our old hang out spot. When I showed up he was there with Alexis and they together told me that they are getting married. HE AMBUSHED ME!!!!!!! And at the very spot he proposed to me at! The nerve of that man! Alexis looked about ready to pee her pants when they first told me and when I saw the ring on her finger I just about wanted to vomit...he gave her MY ring! THE RING HE BOUGHT FOR ME!

Okay I know I gave it back and he has a right to give it to whomever he wants...but really the way he is going about doing all of this....AAAGH! I am going to Idaho in about two minutes to pick up Becky at BYU-Idaho and we are going to figure this out because Alexis had the audacity to ask me to help her with her flower arrangements.

...I agreed to help but ONLY because her family aren't members like mine aren't and I know how it feels to not have their support. I pity her, but it doesn't mean we are going to be friends or anything or that I am at all pleased, but she is going to need the help and I have the experience...Becky is going to be PISSED when she finds out which means I won't say anything til I absolutely have to. I should probably bring Jess along to control Becky for me. UGH why am I such a fool?!

Almost Forever

I said I would explain and here I am telling you my story about why I am single although I had basically found "Mr. Forever"...turns out he was "Mr. Forever, But Not Right Now And Not With You"

I met Phillip our senior year of high school. He asked me to Prom and I accepted although neither of us knew each other. We became really good friends and from there we both began this weird sort of "we liked each other but weren't doing anything about it" kind of relationship. It all sort of reached its peak for us at this YSA New Year's Eve dance that a group of us went to...somehow he got the impression that he was going to spend the rest of forever with me. I had already shared with him how I felt (which was madly in lvoe with him) and I was surprised when he actually returned the sentiment. Everyone around us could see we were in LOVE and were headed towards the eternities. HE even started asking me about wedding plans and HE was the one who started the marriage talk first! I was okay with it because I had prayed about it dozens of times and I knew it was right so we started working on a wedding scrapbook together working out every little detail that we could and we even discussed children's names! That was the happiest time of my life and when he proposed it was even better!
He took me to our favorite hang out spot in this canyon area outside of our town and we were sitting looking at the stars as usual and discussing Heavenly Father's plan for us. He looked at me and said " Nikki I can't imagine life with anyone but you." He pulled out this little box and got down on his knee and said "I guess you know what I am going to ask next...will you marry me?"
...Let me tell you the making out was intense...although I had already known what he was going to do because his friend Tony had accidently spilled the beans when my friend Becky threatened him with death if he didn't tell. That girl is amazing! Anyways We continued planning and preparing and I began preparations to get my temple recommend. I had to move to help my grandmother who was sick, but everything was still going strong...until one day Phillip TEXTED me and told me that he just didn't love me anymore and that he always had doubts about us! OUT OF THE BLUE AND OVER TEXT! What a douchebag!

Everyone was completely shocked. Mainly me, but everyone else was taken by surprise as well. I gave him the ring back, but I kept the wedding scrapbook...I mean honestly I put hard work into that book and I am not giving it up for ANYTHING. Tony was unbelievably pissed because he had picked out the ring and everything with Phillip and he just couldn't believe that Phillip would do that to me. Needless to say Tony and Phillip did not end on good terms...they broke out into a huge fight just a few hours before Tony was getting set apart as a missionary!!! (Tony and Phillip are older than me by a year..I skipped a grade) Phillip isn't going on his mission, just merely because he "feels" he isn't meant for one...whatever. Back to why they were fighting...well see Phillip brought this girl Alexis to Tony's farewell party, but Phillip was flirting with me and Tony got really mad at Phillip and...attacked him is the only way to put it really. Becky and I got good laughs out of it and so did everyone else there except for Alexis who had the BALLS to say I started the fight.

Apparently Tony and Alexis have been going out for sometime and he thought he would be able to just bring her into the fold...all I have to say is Hell to the NO!

So that is my story people, sorry it was a long one but I had to tell the whole thing because I rather think it is a good story and also it is what has spurred me to go out and figure out what REAL love is. OH and BTW this happened in July....Epic huh?

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease
Nikki

Hey There!

Just thought I would introduce myself! My name is Nikki and I am a single LDS woman...well young adult anyways. Obviously you knew this since you are here on my blog which is aptly title "Single Mormon Chick".

That is right peoples this blog is going to be a documentation of my adventures as a Single LDS Female. As you may realize we can be quite different than the single LDS males of the church.  Let me put it this way...I am 20 and I don't have a guy. My last date was...well it wasn't too long ago, but you see there is a ton of pressure on me to be out dating and trying to find "Mr. Forever".

I've come close, but that ended tragically (I will post more on that later). I guess what I am setting out to do with this blog is to give a little insight into ONE life of a single lds person. I have to say we aren't all the same. My friend Jess just got married three months ago AND she already has one on the way! I guess it will also be an insight to the everyday lives of my friends as well. We all have such unique lives that should be shared!

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease!
Nikki

Also if you have read Mormon Bachelor Pad you will notice they have icons...I figured since there are three of us we would do it to to kind of identify who was writing what. Thanks guys for the idea!
