~I Was Hoping That You And Me Might End Up Togther ~
Hey blog world! My life has been insane this last month! And I have so much to tell you guys! OMGdoubleHKP is how I feel about just everything! Did you know that God is AMAZING! He does soo many blessings and surprises in lives that you think sometimes he was kind of like a comedian. Now I say this cuz its funny something that he does in our lives...and just simple things at that! Reagan and I were setting up our bible study room for the day camp i work at, at my church and we were putting up fabric. We had like 3 pieces of fabric left that had to by Hung up to cover the walls. Well we hung it up and it just happened to be the EXACT length of the wall..weird eh? And by the time we were done hanging everything we had 1 paper clip left.....this was weird cuz we had run out before, so when we went and got more we just grabbed a few not thinking of how many we needed. Reagan and I just stood there and laughed. We couldn't believe that had just happened haha.
Well since I last blogged on Canada Day, we have already had the last 2 weeks of prep weeks and had 1 week of Day Camp. 1st week of Day Camp went very well! I had one of my best friends as my helper and then a few other good friends in my division which always makes it better. :) It was a hectic week for me though, cuz not only was a team leader, I was also division leader. This means when any of the teams has a problem they come to you, and your basically in charge of the whole division for that week and you run that division. This means, setting up leader/camper races/dance offs, paying for activities in the afternoons, if it rains make sure there is a movie, make sure all kids are on the teams and be where they should be, and make sure all the kids get on the buses in the afternoon to and from the activity and you also run the small group for that division. Also in the mornings, I was never with my kids cuz Monday and Friday's I'm part of opening ceremonies, I ran small group for the Juniors, and I also ran my own bible study...Lets just say I didn't even know there was a Emma on my team till Thursday...the kids leave Friday...nice try Alysha...Almost everyday I came home and had a nap....cuz day camp just wares you to the core...It's alot of fun, but also very tiring! By Friday I did know there names! GO ME :) haha but it will be better in weeks to come, cuz once you have done division leader, you don't do it again in the summer.
Now with life just in general has been super awesome! Like you don't even know! My life is soo beyond blessed right now that I don't even know how to comprehend it at all lol. First off, Ben and I are friends again which is a huge blessing to know! After our big fall out a few months back I thought that was it...well I was wrong and only by the Grace of God, it was not in his plans for my life to loose Ben as a friend.. It was during the first Day Camp week, Ben came by and surprised visited....talk about surprise....hes been basically MIA from all his friends all summer, and the last time I actually seen him and actually talked was gosh....February? I don't even know...Its been a long time though! He came and apologized for everything and it was great knowing that was in the past and done and over with. I later saw him again at my youth group on Tuesday night...SHOCKING! why? Well that was the last place I thought I would EVER see him! We talked and everything is good! :) Thank you Lord for this wonderful blessing!
2nd praise to the Lord, He has blessed me with the most AMAZING friends on planet earth! Now your probably reading this thinking everyone says this...well you obviously don't know my friends then! They are the most amazing, God centered friends on this planet and they would do anything for anyone! They have helped me with everything to every problem! They would give an arm and a leg to anyone in our group of friends. They are so amazing as individuals and you can honestly see God changing there lives everyday! I love my friends to death, and they have molded me into the person I am today and I don't know where I would be today without them! Well I do know where I probably would be....but that's a place I don't want to be. I don't want to be your typical 18 year old. I don't want to spend my weekends getting drunk and partying with ppl I don't know. I center my life around the Lord, and any move I make, I make within his presence. I am not the best christian out there, but everyday I try harder to make that happen. Blessing number 2 from my heavenly father <3
Blessing #3...Say hello to my wonderful friend and boyfriend Jordan. (http://alysha-365daysoftheunknown.blogspot.com/2011/06/we-can-make-it-better.html) Yes that is right! We are officially dating! After months of talking, texting, the occasional flirting and the 7 months of praying for guidance it has finally happened! Now I know your reading this Jordy so " Hey!" hahasoo happy beyond any star in the sky! That's alotsoo much and shows it, he can hold a convo ( we can talk for hours and hours and still have more to say!) And we both have weird sides to us..so yes we like to act like 5 year olds sometimes but that's what makes it more interesting! Just being able to have fun and laugh together and just knowing that at the end of the day, they still care for ya as much or probably even more at the end of the day, that is a real relationship! Hey I even got over that whole phase of being nervous!
So story time :) Last night, we went out and it was just an awesome time! I even say Day Camp kids haha oh dear.... Anyways last night we had this great plan...but then the weather had to go and turn sour on us...it has been beautiful all week and then it decided to start raining! Why rain why!!?? Well after I little prayer the clouds opened up and the sun came back out...and it was like instant! GOD IS AMAZING! It was also kinda funny! Praises to him! Well anyways he picked me up and we went for a walk under neither the bridge. We walked down to the rocks and sat at a little beach and just talked for like a good hour or so..then headed back to his car cuz he wanted his sunglasses. We then walked past the band shell and walked under the bridge, past the casino and back then found a bench to sit on. We sat on this bench for o goodness probs 2 hours and just talked and watched the sunset. It was just an amazing time to share with him. So were sitting there talking and he put his arm around me which was cute. We left the bench at like 10 pm haha and when I got up....he told me to pull on his hand to help him up....Now I knew he was doing this cuz it gave him an excuse to hold my hand...which led to us holding hands walking back to his car. It was very cute, cuz in my previous blog about Canada day...he had told me that night that he really wanted to hold my hand as we walked back to Reagan's car. When we got back to my house he walked me to my door, like every gentleman should do for there girlfriends...or even if your just on a date in general. So were standing there at the top of my driveway, and he wrapped his hands around my back to give me hug...then he started to tickle me...now if you know me i am a very ticklish person! Well when he pulled away from the hug, his arms were still around me and he tickled me more....this is how he moved in for the first kiss...yes i just said first kiss. I was shocked at first! Completely caught off guard to say the most haha Who knew thinking back months ago to when he told me, we would never happen cuz of school to him kissing me on my driveway after a romantic date? Well after the kiss, i honestly think i just melted inside haha...i had already fallen for him...but i fell even more! I was on cloud 9 haha to put it that way. I hugged him again and then he did that whole face thing...(described in Canada Day Blog at end) by after like the 4th kiss...i just wanted to cry..i was soo insanely happy....like even writing this now..just thinking back im on the verge of tears lol Why would God bless me such an amazing guy in my life? What in the world did I even do to even deserve this? So instead of crying happy tears i just smiled some more and just hugged him more. I honestly feel like i am living the fairytale relationship...Now Jordan i know your still reading this....you don't know any of this till now....Now I may not show it sometimes....but you honestly just make me the happiest girl on the planet and we may even have to be 4 years away from each other, I will still see you probs everyday via skype, text and i will see you on holidays! And just to think that one day i might even be lucky enough to get to spend the rest of my life with you makes me even happier...and I don't think i can get any happier then I am! <3 I love him soo much as a person and friend... and I'm excited for the day where I fall in love with him...knowing me I've probably already hit that stage it just hasn't hit me yet.....now knowing that using the L word on a guy...usually scares them off...that's the LAST thing i want to do so until i know for sure and he says it first I'm going to enjoy every minute I get to spend with my amazing, wonderful, funny, smart, cute, man of God boyfriend :) You are the best thing that has ever been mine! <3

~ Canada Day!!! ~
So today was one of the most epic days I have had in well like forever!!! To start off, im going to say sorry for the fact I haven't blogged in awhile, last monday I started work and I work 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week so by the time I get home, Im basically ready for bed! So that is why! So today is Canada Day! Well now, it was yesterday...But anyways Happy Canada Day to all my canadian friends and my american friend too! haha So this morning I got up at 9 and got ready for the day ahead of me! By the time 10:40 rolled around, I was ready to leave to head over to my friends house where all of us were meeting! Then we all walked down to the park to find our seats! The parade was good, but did I mention, (like always) it was like 90 degrees out by the time 12 p.m rolled around! When the parade was over, we all walked into the park where we went to go vist our friend that was working at the chip truck. Once we had our fries in hand, we then headed over to the bandshell. We chilled in the shade for a bit then off we went to go back to laura's, where Jordan was meeting us. Aghhh super excited! :D As we walk up Jordan got out of his car to meet us. I had to go home to get a few things, so I rode my bike home and then him and Reag, came to pick me up, then off to Reag's house and then to her grandparents house! I ended up spending the WHOLE afternoon seperated away from everyone, just to have some good talking time with Jordan. This is a very rare ocassion, so when then oppertunity comes a knockin, you go open that door! So my friends swam and then went inside to do who knows what haha, then Jordy and I talked about well almost EVERYTHING! It was a great talk! :D We even had a flower/grass fright haha and he kept putting his hat on my head, can we super cute?!?! Basically the whole day was just a compleate epic flirt fest to put it at it's best haha. The only downfall is that I am allergic to grass like its a seasonal allergy so I had to sit on his swim trunks and I got a super massive sunburn on my sholders..... Once coming back to everyone, we then ate and then played Name that Phrase for 2 hrs hahaa. Then it was time to go to the fireworks! We first went to go vist Charms in the fry truck, then we went to get our seats, were we just happened to find Nick G! hahaha good times lol and then we found our seats and made ourselves comfy. After the fireworks, we then walked back to the fry truck, where Jordy and I had ourselves our own poking war haha. Later, we walked back to our car and drove back to Laura's to get Jordy's Car. I got out and said our good bye's :( It was a lil sad, but were gunna see eachother on sunday night again :) He gave me a big hug and then i don't even know how to explain it....but he put his face right up to mine until the edge of the rim of his hat was touching my forehead...it kinda looked like he was gunna kiss me, but no he didn't hahaha I can just imagine what was going through my friends heads when they saw that haha. When I got home, i was chilling for a bit and then around 12ish when he got home he texted me and told me he had a great day! and that when we were walking back to the car he really wanted to hold my hand! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :D :D :D!!!! I'm not gunna lie.....( I did too :P) tehehe I was talking to my friend Laura and she asked me what our status was and well i told her, we might as well be together, just because of the way we act around eachother ALL THE TIME! But no, he has not asked me to be his gf yet.....hopefully soon! :D Anyways I will keep you guys posted on everything! :D Can't wait till sunday to see him and Sabrina! http://sabrina-theinsidelook.blogspot.com/
