Almost Ring Shoping

I had to have some hardcore therapy from my father today after my date with Kade.  After all I have only been dating him 2 weeks.  He took me to the mall and as soon as I realized he wanted me to ring shop, I stopped DEAD in my tracks.  He was literally trying to drag me.  I sat down on a couch and wouldn't budge.  We finally left because I had promised Wray I would watch my nieces and nephew.

While babysitting, we were watching Mulan 2 and the same thing was happening to her.  Her boy was trying to propose, but she was thinking it was too soon.

I guess when you know, you know.  I have no question whether I should marry Kade, I just don't like the way i t looks.  After all, I am still kind of writing Troy.  I don't know how to break it to him.  My family has only met him once...so I know how they would feel about me marrying so quickly.

When I got home, I talked to my dad about it.  Can I just say he is amazing.  Not only have I always been a daddy's girl, but he has always had a soft-spot for his girls.  He always treats us like princess.  I told him Kade was getting pretty serious and that he wanted me to pick out rings!  My dad comforted me and asked how long I had known Kade?  I told him years, but I have only dated him for a little bit.  My dad said, see you have known him a long time, so don't be so gushy.  I think my dad could see how happy Kade was making me.  My dad has seen some of the worst depression spells from me.  He let me know that he was okay with me marrying him, and that he thought if we wanted to get married there is no reason to wait very long.

Did I mention my dad has been a bishop twice?  He has also been in the stake presidency, so I don't take his opinion lightly.  He said, "if you know you want to marry Kade, do it as soon as possible.  Waiting only gets people into trouble."  He also informed me that waiting is really hard and it only gets harder.

So with my dads blessing, I think sometime we will actually go ring shopping...but I am going to make him wait at least 2 more weeks.  That way I can say we dated a month, LOL.

3rd Date/1st Kiss

This was our third official date!  Kade took his sisters car to get fixed because it broke down, on his way home from Utah, he stopped in my apartment in Shelley.

We made cinimon rolls, and there was a big mess of flour in our hair and on the floor.



We sat under the stars and talked for hours, I told him I was writing a guy in the army.  He basically told me that I was going to need to break up with him, I agreed.  I had already realized that I was head over heals for Mr. Kade.

We watched the sun rise, and ate breakfast up in the hills that day.  The windmills were a sight to see, now they are everywhere.

He told me he loved me and then kissed me in his mothers blue van.  It was perfect, and I knew it would be my last first kiss.

Second Date

Right before leaving to the zoo with Kade's ENTIRE family.

Yes, I met all of his brothers and sisters on our 2nd date, scary.

After we played in the park and ate 

IDK what you call this, but it was like a huge sling shot thing...soo funny

Then we played Ultimate Frisbee 

All hot and sweaty after!

Then on the way home, we were with Steph and Dan, their car broke down.  We got to hang out and talk while being stranded!

When Kade took me home we sat and talked in the Wendy's/olive garden parking lot for like 4 hours.  This is when I knew he would be mine!  I was totally hooked!  We talked and he convinced me he liked me but that he just respected me and that is why he hadn't held my hand or put his arm around me yet. 

First Date

I went on a date with Kade Bingham,  it was a fun day. 

We went four wheeling, and he even let me drive.  

While he was driving I was to afraid to put my arms around him, he made me though I think he was uncomfortable.
The other couple we went with, made out the whole time HAHA.

I had to wear Richard's tennis shoes because all I had was flip flops. 

We had a lot of fun.  

He just got back from a mission.

He didn't freak out about my arm, yes I had to tell him, the stitches are HUGE.

He didn't want the date to end so...

We watched prince Caspian 

We ate at Ikes for lunch.  

I met his parents and ate dinner with them, hamburgers and fries yumm. 

I am thinking he wont ask me out again, because he didn't act like he interested in me, I think he just needed a date.  

But I guess we will see.
