The semester continued and Zack and I still didn't really talk, except if we passed each other in the hall or something at school. I remember in April I was at the Country Swing Dance place and Zack came up to me and asked me to dance. I didn't know what to expect but he said he was sorry for being a jerk and not calling me ever he felt bad and asked if I would forgive him and we could start over as friends. I said of course and then he left. I didn't think much of it, except oh yay another good guy FRIEND. Oh well I loved having a ton of those.
It was the end of March and midterms had just finished for me, what a relief. However when it comes to math...I am always in trouble. I usually go to the Institute building and try to find guys that can help me. ;) It usually worked pretty well and I usually got a date of it too what can I say. I am kind of a big deal! As I was getting help on math I remember seeing Zack walk into the building I gave him the nod and said hi and went back to my homework. The guys that were helping me had class so they left and that is when Zack snuck in.
He came and sat next to me and asked how I was doing, you know the small talk thing. Then he asked me if I remembered the steps to a specific line dance that he was teaching for like a mutual class or something. I said yes and we went outside so I could show him the steps. Once he got it down we went back inside. I was packing up my things to head back to the college campus and Zack asked me what my plans were for the weekend. Being the sneaky girl that I was,
I said " I don't know, I probably will get asked on a couple dates, go to a couple parties or something like that, why do you ask?"
He then began to tell me that he was from a small town called Joseph City and it was founders day this coming weekend. Full of parades blah blah and DANCING. He asked me if I would want to go. We would leave Saturday when I got off of work and come back Sunday before sun down. I told him that I would think about it and let me know later that night.
I remember my mom wasn't answering her phone and I really needed advice , so when I got to work that day I jumped onto facebook and started asking any of my aunts and uncles that were online what they thought I should do. They asked me a couple questions but to surprise they all told me to go. Eventually my mom called me back and said go.
I texted Zack and told him that I could go with him but that I worked that next day till 2 or 3 so I understood if he wanted to just leave. He said know he would wait. WEIRD! Why did everyone say I could go UGH this was going to be interesting.
Lucky for Zack I got off at 2pm that day so we were on the road about 3:00. It is a three and a half hour drive so I came up with a bunch of questions to ask him so that it didn't get awkward. As we began our drive there it hit me that we would be staying with his family! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait a minute we aren't even dating and I am going to meet the family! What the heck are they going to think.. I was in constant panic from that point forward. Nonetheless I tried not to show it.
Three and a half hours and a TON of random questions later we made it to his house. Umm one word SMALL TOWN, not stop lights and like two stop signs. I could throw a rock across this town. Oh well. We got inside his house thank goodness I was freezing! We were first greeted by his sister that was 17 at the time. She was so sweet and gave me a hug I was so nervous but it was good to meet her. I would be staying with her so I put my stuff in her room. We discovered that everyone else was at this so called dance and so that is where we went. We got there and were greeted by Zacks' parents they are very kind. Hugged me and started asking questions about me and then paid for us to get into the dance I thanked them and we went in. Wow! I was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to think....but once we started dancing I felt better I just got lost in the dance and started to relax and have fun. His parents joined us and we talked I danced with Zacks' dad so we could chat. I could tell with a small town people were probably wondering who I was and what was going on ...great I thought. After the fun dance was over I met Zacks grandparents on his dads side and then all of Zacks brothers and sisters except the one brother that was and is on a mission right now. We then went back to his house and Zack his parents and I stayed up late talking and playing games it was fun and awkward at the same time. haha.
The next morning was church, their ward is at 8:30am YEAH in the morning! I was the first one up I showered and got my make up on FAST and then set on the couch and rid my scriptures till the family came out. After church we helped make lunch and ate. That is when the questions started. They asked all about my family and then of course how I felt about Zack and if we were dating and stuff. Oh geese got to love it :) It was fun thought he has a great family. I am grateful for them being so nice to me and making me feel welcome. I was so happy to be going home though. What an eventful weekend.
