*MaCeE*: Get over it

How is it that one person can either make or break your day? I have been so moody lately and it's been driving me crazy. The BFF always is reassuring me that it's just me dealing with my emotions. I hate that, I hate feeling dramatic, I hate not being myself. This weekend was perfect, in the sense that I spent it with every person that means the most to me. My sister, nieces, brother in law, and Jon and J. I was fine just being with them. Friday night Daniel had wanted me to go camping and boating the next day with a group, I kindly rejected (part because I am a geek and wanted to watch the Olympics). I needed space, we needed space, and I hate how I feel when I'm with that group. Saturday was National Dance Day, of course that meant I was spending the day with my family doing anything dance related we could think of! That night, breaking out the N64 with my two oldest best friends and greatest boys. Seriously I tell them constantly that they shouldn't be single anymore they are both a great catch! The look on Jons face when I walked in is unforgettable. He did a double take as I walked in. He asked if my other plans fell through and that's why I was there? No I WANTED to be there more than anywhere else. We talked until well after 1:30. Daniel had invited me over for dinner with the fam but instead I told him I still needed time, space, and I was scared I was getting attached. He told me again, what he has told me for the past month. He asked if we were going to be okay, I said sure, and told him I was just thinking about everything. He was concerned, wondering what he could do, what I want him to do. I kept telling him nothing. I know I have serious issues, then I wake up to this..."Mace, I'm not going anywhere :)" Why can't I be like most girls, the ones that would pay to have a guy they like say that instead I asked a million and one questions, I'm determined at this point that I am driving him crazy. He tells me over and over what every girl wants to hear. What is my problem? He then brings up two things that change my mood no matter what..First we need to go to the temple, together and regularly. I couldn't agree more, the peace and comfort it brings is overwhelming at times, powerful beyond words, but more satisfying. The knowledge that I will get to see my mom again means more to me than I can ever describe. The best friend that I miss daily, the phone call I wish I could still make to hear her wise words, and that even after 5 years I miss her more than I probably should. Secondly...His football tryouts start today. He is so excited to share this experience with his brother and wants me to be part of it also. Since when do guys include girls on their guy things? On a side note, I don't think my family and I said "WE JUST WANT FOOTBALL TO START!" enough this weekend. We are all obsessed (some more than others) but we sit there, together, for hours a week watching OUR teams, and random teams, trash talking, laughing, and bonding! I need to get over this little attitude of mine and realize how great things are! A great week of Daniels football, my league games, family time, and of course a chance to be better is ahead, and I need to take advantage of it! As for the weekend, not many pics but here is what we do have! My not so baby nieces are big enough to hike with us
