a hug and a kiss?

So here's a funny little story:

There's this guy, bless his heart, who is just kinda off his rocker. He's a little strange. Anyways, he comes to the desk a lot while I'm working (or any other girl for that matter) to make a joke or say something. So today he comes up to me and this is our conversation.

Guy: "so you know how it's Valentine's?"

Me: "oh, like how yesterday was Valentine's day?"

Guy: "yeah, but it's Valentine's week..."

Me: "oh." (ummm sure?)

Guy: "well, so, I was wondering if I could give you a hug and a kiss then..."

Me: "uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" (panicking, what the crap? what do I say? this is awkward!)

Guy: "here! a hug and a kiss!" (handing me chocolate hugs and kisses)

Me: "haha" (awkwardly laughing and taking the offer)

Annnnd he walks away. I mean okay, it was really nice of him. But seriously. I don't get awkward that easily anymore. But let me tell you, I felt extremely awkward!!! At least the chocolate was good ;)

BRASIL!

So it is official! I will be serving a mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am going to...the BRAZIL SALVADOR MISSION! I will be teaching in Portuguese (holy shnikes) and I report July 18th to the Brazil MTC. I couldn't be more shocked, excited and happy! So grateful for my family and friends who are so supportive and loving. It was so fun! I was so glad to share this wonderful experience with so many of my loved ones. About 25 of my friends came over and I was able to FaceTime with my family including my parents, brothers and sister. Even though they are far away, Catherine and Chloe were there via FaceTime and Skype! I am so blessed. WOW and I don't even feel like I deserve it! I cannot wait to go to Brazil. I know that is where I am suppose to go and so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary!




Oh, and here is a video my good friend Nick Walter made! Yup, I'm a crier.
