Don't blink..Yes he is back

So yes I know this is a typical post for my self.. And yes you can believe it I am finally updating my blog.

This weekend was probably one of the best I have had in a long time. It was thanksgiving and I definitely have a lot to be thankful for. Won't go into detail, but will give you the brief synopsis of the weekend.

My sister came up to visit me from the OC ( no not my favorite show, but the place that actually exists) and we went shopping for our glorious thanksgiving day we would be spending at that lovely and talented Azina and Nicole's place. SO we get to their house have a most excellently home cooked meal, enjoyed the company of great friends and drank really good wine. Then it all started. I got the shopping bug. I took my sister out to pick out her wedding dress.. Oh wait.. I mean her present for Christmas. See my sister and I have this understanding that we both go shopping with each other and let each other pick out the gifts, buy them and then wrap up something really silly for Christmas. That way we all get what we want, have the experience of picking it out together, and get to wrap up something fun. Somehow or another I got coerced into buying more throw pillows for my already comfy couches.

next day I go to the movies to see pride and prejudice. Yea go on and say it.. Its a girly movie. So I brought room along and had a good time with friends. I honestly enjoyed the movie and go to finally understand why it was a classic. Then Sarah and Jodi and Chris and I went to starbucks where I found a new love of Soy. its really good.

After that we all went to pier one and after some Wine glass jenga decided jon mark needed to buy clothes for the Christmas parties and weddings coming up in his life. Shanelle happened to join us at this point and Lord knows she likes to take care of her boys.. so it was off to banana republic for me. We get there and Chris and her immediately go run and grab all these clothes for me to try on. Meanwhile josh Wilson and Luz show up. so now I have an audience for my clothes shopping. to make a long story short my fashion coordinators, or dart inc and rose enterprises, were ecstatic about my new look. I felt like I was the star of a reality TV show called Renovate Jon Mark. With much rejoicing and many of clothes that were tried on, I bought my very first pair of slacks/trousers/ or whatever you call it. They look great, and even fit well too. Mom Dad, Maria, I am almost a new man when it comes to looking good. So that felt nice.

After our fun little shopping extravaganza, All were hungry and felt Red Robin would be the food of choice for the evening. We all sat down, and some how the topic of dating came up. The jest of the conversation revolved around the fact that boys at our church don't have enough balls to straight up ask a girl out on a date. We all gave our sides of the story, which was very insightful.. I just kinda sat there and watched the two conversation starters get into it. I agreed with a lot of points most had to say, and did learn a fair deal. So at the end, Shanelle, decides to give us some homework. . The deal was that all of the men at the table have to ask out a girl this week on a date. Not to hang out or whatnot,, a for real date. Looks like I got my homework cut out for me. Now its bed time. But I wish I could breakdance.

What a great post, you should definitely write more often. You'll have to let us all know how you're homework turns out.

I'm pretty sure being there for the conversation has nothing to do with getting a date out of it or not.
