Well guys it was 6 months yesterday since Mr. Facebook and I started dating, I can’t believe how fast it has gone by! So to celebrate I thought I would put together a little video of past 6 months to mark this small milestone in our relationship. It was so much fun to put together… I think I spent two days working on it. But in the end I’m really happy how it turned out. Hope you enjoy seeing all the pictures of us!
Is anyone else wondering how it is already is July 1st! Are we really getting close to the middle of the summer? Seriously the 4th is in just three days… you have got to be kidding me! By the way that reminds me I probably should figure out what to do for that. (Mr. Facebook is on vacation right now but comes home that afternoon, so we can hang out that night) Anyone have some fun ideas of things we can do for the fourth? Or do you have a great recipe you could share? I would appreciate the feedback… I need help, I don’t have much time! I guess this really shows you what a last minute planner I am.
Anyway, even though the summer has been going by quick and my weekends are pretty much a blur; I’ve been enjoying it so far. From weddings, Festivals, baby showers, birthdays, etc. on the weekends the summer feels like a never ending party. I think I’ve spent way more then I should have on gifts for other people. After two weddings in June, a babyshower and a birthday; I’m glad for a little break. It will gear me up for the three back to back weddings I have coming up in August!
Mr. Facebook:
Just thought I would recap and say Mr. Facebook and I have had a steady relationship for almost FOUR months now! This is a huge deal for me considering my last two relationships didn’t last over three… so knock on wood I really like how this one is turning out. Now I know I said I’m taking it slow in my last post and I that still rings true. I’m just really happy that the past four months have been so great between the two of us. He is just as sweet and caring as the day we went on our first “real date“. I’m starting to really love our history together; I don’t want to jump the gun yet but I feel Mr. Facebook is someone I’m starting to see a future with.
Italian Street Festival:
Some summer activities have included going to the Italian Street Festival downtown with Mr. Facebook and even though it was raining, we still had a great time! I had no idea they had this 
Italian festival in Circle City until Mr. Facebook suggested we go to it. Even though the food was great and the weather could have been better I wouldn’t of had it any other way. Because for the very first time I saw a diaper made in to a make shift hat. That is right you heard me… a DIAPAR, haha!!! As we were standing under this tree trying to wait out the rain, a family was sitting right next to us. Low and behold the mom pulled out a diapar from the diapar bag and put it on her head! I couldn’t believe it! I guess when your hair is getting wet and your a mom you could care less what is on your head. So I pulled out my camera and took a picture. Why? Because who in a million years would catch an adult woman wearing a diapar on her head… willingly. I think this has been one of my favorite highlights of the summer thus far.
Weddings:
Now for the past two weekends, I’ve attended two weddings! Thus the reason I have not had a moment to sit down and write. Both couples that got married are great friends, of whom I’ve kind of grown up with over 
the past 7 years, Kristen & Joel and Ryan & Tory. I can’t believe all four of them are now married and all grown up. I got choked up watching Kristen & Joel say their vows. And Ryan & Tory could not have looked any happier. I’m honored I could be a part of both of their special days and I wish them both the best as they head for marriage bliss.
Birthdays:
Now that is not all these past week… I also had a birthday party for Ashley to go to! Where I caught up with Erin and a bunch of other girl friends I hadn’t seen in awhile. I was happy we were all finally able to get together, because like I said earlier the summer is going by fast and there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to hang out with everyone. Plus I think I’m getting to the point where I’m starting to feel older. I can not stay out like I used to. When eleven rolls around I’m about pooped for the night, haha. But one late night on the town won’t kill me right?
Well I think I need to think about what I’m making for dinner… but hope you enjoyed the fun update of what happened in my life these past two weeks. Hope you have a great rest of your week and an awesome 4th of July weekend!
So the last you read I had a date with Mr. FB on good old St. Patty’s Day… WHOA hold up, has it really been that long since I’ve neglected to tell you what happened next!!! Where did the time go… ???? Well at last things have finally slowed down where I found some time I could write about it. (However, it was fun to see how many people actually read this! Considering I got a lot of questions/e-mails about what happened to me, thank you for your interest in my crazy world… you know who you are).
This past month has been insanely busy… from going out to visit my girls on VA Beach, keeping up with my new job, managing a dating life and trying to plan my big birthday coming up I just haven’t been able to keep up with it all!
VA Beach & Job
What an AMAZING time I had out there. It was so good to see the Brit and Holly. It had been far to LONG and a much needed trip after my first publication went out. I worked a crazy 19 hours straight right before I left for the trip and couldn’t wait for a little R&R. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE my new job so I don’t mind working that much but I was really happy for the break.
I miss these girls so much and it is beyond wonderful to have their ongoing support and friendship over the years. I appreciate all the fun memories we share and the the laughter that comes from it. To start off the weekend Brit picked me up from the airport and Holly was able to join up later that night. We went to EVERY seafood restaurant in sight and didn’t stop running around the entire weekend. So from Classes, Chocolate Factories, Shopping, Playing on the beach (Both rain & shine), Restaurants, Basketball Games, Surprise birthday parties, Church, Going to Waa Waa (turns out this is a gas station not a coffee shop…oh Holly, haha), we even managed to squeeze in going to a Law School Dance! What an a CRAZY fun 3 day weekend!!! I think though when things are planned on a whim like what happened that weekend things just couldn’t get any better!
The only downside to the whole weekend is that on the way home from VA Beach I had a layover in New York that was only suppose to be 2 hours, which turned into 5! Gate 25 how I loath thee!!! I was sad that I didn’t know this before hand because I definitely would have gone out and explored New York for a bit if I did. Instead I got stuck to a wall with my cell phone plugged in (due to my battery dying) and keeping my sights on an old guy with a guitar that was on the same flight because I was scared they were going to change the gate and I wouldn’t know.
However the layover wasn’t all bad. I got to talk to Mr. FB for most of the layover and we really a great time chatting the few hours away. I got to learn a lot more about his likes/dislikes and how much he LOVES the Cub’s baseball. At this point I really started to like Mr. FB… he kept telling me how much he missed me while I was gone and told me he talked about me to some of his friends/parents. Wait hold up… friends/parents… this is BIG!
Mr. Facebook
Since then Mr. FB and my relationship really started to bloom… you could say we almost have been inseparable. He got me flowers the very next day I got back from VA. Beach and is always staying in touch with me. Wanting to know how my day is… so on and so forth. Which is something I haven’t had a guy do in a long time, but I really like it. His consistency, sweet personality, communication skills and honesty have been huge for me! Besides that he goes to church with me, which is the most important of all! To me this is amazing that we can share this together. I’m really happy for I found someone who is treating me the way I’m suppose to be treated and not like a piece of meat to munch on every once in awhile.
I’ve really enjoyed all the time I’ve spent with Mr. FB and can really start seeing a future possibly. Of course I still have a lot of time before it comes to that but the thought has crossed my mind and I can see it happening. As far as right now we are dating just each other, we don’t have any titles on it yet but I’m not really worried about that. We will just see what happens over the next month or so, I’m just putting everything in the Lord’s hands.
Turning 24
This week I am turning 24! Crazy isn’t it?!?! I can’t believe it myself… time has really flown by. I’m having a big party this Friday downtown in Circle City and hope everyone will be able to make it. But no matter who shows up it should be a good time.
On my actually birthday (Saturday) Mr. FB asked if he could take me out to dinner! Yayayay I’m so excited… I can’t wait to see what he has planned up his sleeve. I loved being surprised! So I will be writing more soon to let you know how that goes.
So…I have many more stories about Mr. FB and I to tell soon but they will have to wait till next time. This is getting pretty long right now and I have to run. Hope you enjoyed the long over due update and again sorry for not being better. I’ll write again soon… but until then I will leave you with this amazing verse I hold dear to my heart.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and will bring you back from captivity…” -Jeremiah 29:11-14
Well St. Patty’s Day has come and gone once again. With most of my friends off to the festivities, this year I decided to stay in for night and invited Mr. Facebook over for dinner. This is the first time I’ve stayed home on good old St. Patty’s Day but since it landed on a Tuesday it really didn’t make since to stay out late on a work night.
Now mind you since Mr. FB came over for dinner, this is date #4… and everything has been going sooo well! I made baked ziti for dinner, a family favorite. It turned out perfect and afterward he couldn’t stop raving about it. I’m so happy he likes my cooking and I didn’t kill him or anything! That would have been awful, haha.
We watched a good old St. Patty’s Day favorite during dinner and enjoyed each others company. I find the more I hang out with Mr. Facebook, the more I’m get goosebumps. As we were sitting on the sofa he put his arm around me and I laid my head on his chest. When the movie came to an end we stayed that way and talked for a little longer. Then it happened… what happened, oh you know what happened! Umm… okay I guess you really don’t know, do you? Well, with that twinkle in his eyes he leaned over and kissed me! Ahhh, Mr. Facebook kissed me! Can you tell I was just a little excited?!?! So my infatuation with Mr. Facebook has definitely grown!
He was so cute as he was leaving, acting like he didn’t want to go. But I packed him some leftovers from dinner before he left and he was on his way. Throughout today he kept texting me to see how I was and what I was up to. And after work he already asked me out for date #5 on Friday night! I’m so excited!!! It looks like we might actually be dating now… ?? Maybe, possibly ??
Well anyway along with asking me out on Friday he asked if I would like to go to a Coldplay concert together, in JUNE! By making plans this far in advance this makes me think he wants to stick around for while. Which right now I couldn’t be more happy with.
It is a nice change to finally find a guy I like… well, like me back just as much. Treating me with respect and telling me he can’t wait to see me again. It makes me excited just thinking about it. Who would have thought that over a week and a half ago that I would be seeing someone and get my first kiss from them on St. Patrick’s Day? I mean… I sure didn’t.
“Dance as if no one were watching, Sing as if no one were listening, And live every day as if it were your last.” -Irish Blessing
Well… Mr. Facebook and I not only had our 2nd date at Mama Corolla’s this past Friday night but we also went on another date this afternoon to watch the movie Slumdog Millionaire at the theater! Both dates were awesome and went much…much better then the first one! Good thing I didn’t go with my first impression of him. Whoa… wait did I just go on three dates with Mr. Facebook in one week!?!?
Friday night: Mr. Facebook showed up on time and could not have been more of a gentlemen. He held open the car door and was very polite. Paying full attention to me he seemed genuinely interested in who I was and what I was all about. This made the evening conversation effortless and an enjoyment to have. We got the best seat in the whole restaurant right next to the windows. (the main window in the photo above is where we sat) The food was out of this world and I have to say he was absolutely right to say Mama Corolla’s is the best Italian food in Circle City!
After dinner we headed back to my apartment where we popped in the movie Blood Diamonds and had a glass of wine together. It was so nice just to hang out with someone with no expectations. When the movie ended as he was about to leave he gave me not one hug but two! Now I thought this was kind of cute… but kind of made me excited for the next time we might see each other.
Saturday afternoon: he wasted no time to ask if I would like to go to the theater to watch Slumdog Millionare Sunday afternoon. Of course after the good time I had on Friday night, I couldn’t help myself but say yes. Plus I really have been wanting to see this movie since it came out… it has had some rave reviews!
Sunday afternoon: Mr. Facebook and the movie were awesome…I would highly recommend the movie if you haven’t seen it! Again he was a total gentlemen and after the movie was over he asked to hang out for a little. So we just sat around my apartment and talked. We also got out the photo albums and I showed him a bit of my upbringing/family. Which I was pretty impressed he wanted to look at them… this would normally scare most guys.
After we finished my hands were cold, so being a stinker I put it on his face. Shocked at how cold they were he held my hand it between his. Which lead to him holding onto my hand for a while. So I think “officially” we have held hands. haha This all sounds so grade school but actually I really like it. I love that Mr. Facebook isn’t pushing anything and taking things slow. I’m perfectly happy with holding hands right now and I think it is going at a good steady pace.
There is no rush for anything but I am defiantly starting to like where things are headed. I haven’t seen any red flags come up yet so everything is in the clear so far. We will just have to wait and see but as he was leaving today he already asked if we could see each other this week. Man, so in one weeks time I’ve been on three dates with Mr. Facebook and considering my three date rule, I think I’ve made up my mind to let this play out a little longer.
Now if you haven’t heard of me talk about the three date rule that is usually when I make the decision to either continue to see the person or cut it off. It is a usually a good breaking point for me. Giving me enough time to see if I’m interested and if I find I’m not I don’t lead them on. However, right now I’m really interested to see where things could lead with Mr. Facebook. I haven’t been on more than three dates in a long time…so who knows what could happen next.
Mr. Facebook has been following up with me the past couple days and last night asked if I would go on a date with him tonight. Now I’m going to eat my own words but I did say I would go with him on a second date if he did ask me. Stay in tuned we will have to see how tonight goes, if it is any better then our first date.
However he did seem a little more on top of his game, like he has this all planned out. Because right after I gave him the okay he already had his script of what we would be doing. Premeditated… I like that, Impressive. He said he would pick me up tonight after work and we would go to this old little Italian restaurant. Again good taste in restaurants… and have I mentioned how much I love Italian food.
Anyway… I guess first impressions sometimes are not always the best. I figured I would base my decision during round 2.
I thought I would update you on Mr. Pepperdine. Sadly, I missed out on the law school dinner last night. Because the plane tickets for the weekend to LA were like almost $500 dollars. He sent me a text last night that read, “Missed you at the dinner tonight…” (sigh) It is frustrating to me the guys I’m really interested in and could see something going somewhere with… live so stinkin far away! What is the deal with me and long distant relationships?!?! I just don’t get it.
However Mr. Pepperdine did mention he is taking a road trip from LA to New York when he moves there in May. Which he said he might be able to talk his brothers into stopping in Indy on the way out there to see me. I know I shouldn’t but I kind of want to keep my figures crossed.
So…Mr. Facebook showed up an hour late today for our blind date. Due to the fact he said he forgot to change his clocks back. Apparently he is time change challenged, likely excuse right? However I was already kind of ticked off before the date even begin because I was starving. Which in any case is not a good sign when the girl is hungry, period. Consequently, due to the fact he was late… our previous plans of going to that little cafe had to change. Since they closed at 2pm and he was just picking me up around that time.
We ended up at Kona Grill at Clay Terrace. I have to say the food was really good like always. I’m glad I at least got my favorite salmon salad out of the blind date deal. Overall, it went well with Mr. Facebook. We had decent conversation but I just wasn’t really feeling it. Maybe it was because he was already in the dog house for being late but honestly there was no real spark.
He seem like a really nice guy but I’m not looking for the next nice guy. I’m looking for someone that is going to hold my attention in a conversation. Granted if he did ask me out on a second date I would probably except, just to give him a second try to redeem himself. So we will see but I think I will throw this one back in the sea. Mr. Facebook just isn’t what I’m looking for and I’m okay with that.
Random blind date tomorrow.
Tonight while I was out with one of my good girl friends Brit, I got a text from Mr. Facebook asking what I was doing tomorrow. Now to explain a little bit I met Mr. FB back at the end of December. He had ran across my profile on Facebook from a mutual friend and had sent me a message. Granted we have message back and forth the last couple months getting to know each other briefly.
Tonight he asked if I would like to meet up for coffee and brunch tomorrow at a little cafe. I figured what the heck I have nothing to lose, it is just brunch right? He seems like a nice guy from what I’ve gotten to know… so we will have to see how it goes tomorrow with Mr. FB. Well I better go, got to figure out what I’m going to wear.

Should I Video Blog?

But if you like the idea of me starting to do that for SingleintheCircleCity… please comment below, on my YouTube channel or send me a tweet @CircleCityGirl with your response. Can’t wait to see what you guys think!
