Oh happy day!

So, not much really to report on this week (at least, I think so).  It's been a slow week this past week.  Work wasn't too stressful this week.  We didn't have too many people in camp this week, so I mostly winterized around camp.  There was lots to do, but it wasn't too difficult to do it.  It was fun week.

As far as the relationship is going, it's going good.  Can't complain at all.  As the weeks pass, I seem to like her more and more.  And, I'm getting along with her really well.  Better than I thought, actually.  We've had lots of good conversations and have been together almost every day this past week.  Those of you who know me know that being with one girl that much is amazing!  That doesn't usually happen in my life.  And being with a girl that much is taxing.  But through it all, I am so happy and excited to be with her.  I miss those days when I don't get to see and/or talk to her (which lately hasn't been very often).  We'll see where this all goes!

Falling never felt so good!

So, I think I'm falling for this girl. It's something I've never felt before. Kinda exciting, scary, nerve-racking, and happy all mixed together. Wasn't sure if I'd get to this point in my life. I've become really comfortable with my single life (finally). And now, when I least expect it, a girl comes along and wows me. I've known this girl for a bit, but I've always been so scared to do anything about it. Despite the my outward appearance of being an outgoing, confident guy, I'm really one of the shyest guys you'll ever meet. So when things started working out between us, I got scared. In fact, I'm still scared. I don't know where to go from here. As my parents have so kindly pointed out, there's only two places it can go: it can end or it can continue going on forever. I really like her and would like to see how long it can go. But, I'm scared and fearful. Not 100% sure how she feels and I've been too scared to ask her. But so far, things are good. I think she's hinted a few times that she wants me to kiss her, but I get scared and wuss out. I know, I know. That doesn't sound like Tyler. But trust me, it is. I always wuss out on things like this. My last girlfriend asked me straight out why I hadn't kissed her yet. It took several weeks of taunting and building courage on my part to even kiss her on her cheek. So, we'll see how this works out. I'm still not sure what she sees in me and why she wants to date me. But, I sure am happy that I'm dating her! (And is it moving too fast if I see this girl, say, almost every day?)

Not much else is going on for me. Just working and trying to stay on top of things in life. So glad that the week is over. I was getting awfully tired. I love my new truck! It's nice to have that toy. I'm glad to get into a newer vehicle, especially since my old one was having so many problems! It's a little more than I needed, but it should last me a lot longer than I need. So, here's hoping! No new news on the job hunt. Still up in the air about some things. We'll see how those things go, too! I'll have to figure it out soon as I'm almost finished here at AG. Wish me luck!

Some random thoughts running through my mind...

Umm...so it's kinda late at night right now.  I just got home from running some errands down in the valley.  Nothing too exciting, I know.  But, it was good to get away from work for a bit and think about other things going on in my life.  Work this week has been crazy!  We've had so much to do!  It's been hard because there's so much expected of us and we can't handle everything that we've been given.  We're already shorthanded as it is, and so to have so much more asked of us is difficult.  I think, however, that we've all braved the storm rather well.  Sure, it's been stressful and busy.  But, we've made it through thus far!  We've had several groups come and go already this week and we have another big turnaround tomorrow.  I don't know how we'll do it all, but we'll get it done!  I just hope our guests are patient with us as we'll be stretched to our limits in getting everything ready for them!

There's no new updates in my social life.  I'm a workaholic, and so I don't have much energy to devote to my social life just yet.  I could divert some of the energy I put into work into developing that social life.  I just haven't found a really good excuse to divert my energy from working to dating (although that can change VERY quickly).  I've got a date planned for this weekend, so that'll be fun.  I'm beginning to get the impression that this girl likes me.  That's a thought I doubted up until Tuesday night.  I now feel like she has some interest in getting to know me better and continue to go on dates with me.  I certainly would love to take her out on more dates.  She is a blast to be around!  We'll see how it all works out in the end, though!  As far as friends go, I haven't spent much time with them lately.  I've thrown so much of my efforts into work that very little energy is left for others.  I hope that will change very shortly as well!  All work and no play leads to a boring, unfulfilled life!  And also misery!  I need fun, so I'd better learn quickly to find ways to balance play and work together!  Otherwise, life won't be as fun!

So, I applied to a job this week.  It's for a recreation manager position up in South Jordan.  I would be SO stoked to get that job if they offer me the position.  The application period closed today.  I was told they'd begin calling people within the week.  The week ends tomorrow, so I hope I get a call from them!  It would be sweet to work for them!  At least, I think so.  I haven't heard much about the job other than what is posted on the website.  It pays pretty well, especially for a recent college grad.  I'm not 100% sure I have all the qualifications necessary for the job, but I'm, sure hoping I do!  If I did get the job, I couldn't start until January 1.  Hopefully they could hold the job for me until then.  It's only 2 1/2 months.  That's not that long!  If I did get the job, that would require me to find an apartment/condo and move out of the place where I'm at now.  That could be a difficulty, but it's one I would look forward to.  Getting a full-time, permanent job is my hope at the moment.  But with the economy the way it is, it may be harder than I originally planned to secure such a job.  But, here's hoping!

Umm...a short update!

So, I haven't written on this things in awhile.  Seems like a repetitive kinda thing, eh?  I promise I'm trying to get better at this!  And if you can't forgive me, well, that's your problem!

So, what's been going on in my life???  Where do I begin?!?  Here goes nothing!

First, work's been crazy!  I've been given new responsiblities since the fall season has started.  It's been fun to do, but kinda taken me awhile to adjust to the new responsibilites.  I'm keeping up as best as I can, though.  I'm worried that I'm a bit short with people when I get so focused on the tasks at hand.  It's not that I'm not concerned for their welfare and that I'm angry.  It's just that I want to get done as quickly as possible so I can move on to other things I know I need to get done.  Hopefully, they don't take me too seriously!  But, I'm loving it up here!  It's been a real treat to work here for the past few months.  I'm seriously going to miss this place when I do leave!

Second, I'm in the market for a new vehicle!  My old vehicle, which I've only had for two years now, is on its last leg.  I've had problems on-and-off again with this vehicle.  I was hoping it would last a few years before I would have any serious issues.  It appears as if it will only last me until the end of this year.  Sad, eh?  It's been a good car.  I've enjoyed having it.  I wish it wouldn't have to end this way, but it does.  Hopefully, I can find a new car that suits my needs.  I've looked around and found some cars that I like.  Most of them I can't afford.  But, I think I have found a few that meet my needs and wants and will work for my current cirumstances.  We'll see what I eventually get!  If you have a couple extra thousand dollars lying around, send some my way!

Third, general conference was a blast!  It was fun to hear all the leaders of the church talk about things that I need to hear.  I learned quite a bit from all the talks I heard.  If only I could retain all the information I learned from the weekend instantaneously.  I was definitely uplifted and strengthened from listening to their words.  And, it didn't hurt that I got to two of the five sessions!

Four, my social life is going well.  I can't say that I'm engaged or even close to it.  I have, however, been on several dates over the past month or so.  Gone on dates with a lot of fun, pretty girls.  However, only one of those girls seems to be a repetitive thought in my mind.  I don't want to sound like I'm obsessed or stalkerish in any way.  But, she has made an impact on my life, even if it's been a small one thus far.  I've hung out with her on several occasions over the past few months.  I'm not even sure what her thoughts about me are.  I do know, however, that my interest level has been peaked.  She's a blast to be around.  She's fun, has a great smile, intelligent, driven, spiritual, BEAUTIFUL, kind, generous, great listener, and the list goes on and on.  I feel like she lifts and improves me whenever I'm around her.  Now, nothing has happened between us.  We're just friends at the moment.  I would like to date her, but I'm not sure if the feelings are mutual.  Some of my close friends say that it appears as if she's interested.  But, I haven't gotten the guts to ask her what her thoughts on the subject are.  We've hung out a few times this past week and it's made me re-evaluate what I really want in this life.  My priorities are beginning to shift a bit.  They're not shifting to anything bad; they're just shifting in a direction that I think is needed.  I guess I'm just scared to think what she really does think of me.  Does she like me?  Are we just good friends?  Is there a possibility we can date on a more regular basis?  Or am I just foolishly hoping for something that's not there?  I guess only time will tell!  (p.s.  I really hope she doesn't read this.  If she does, this ought to get interesting...)

Ffith, my family seems to be doing well.  My sister-in-law is pregnant again, and that's exciting.  My sister and neices appear to be doing well.  My younger two brothers at home are doing well.  No big issues with my parents.  All in all, family life is good!

I guess that's about it to report.  I know it's not all the details on what's been going on the past month or so.  But if you really want a good update, I guess you could really just call and ask me and I'd be glad to fill in the blanks!  But then again, who's really going to read this post anyway???
