Before I start on anything, I just love this video.
We know how to LIVE IT!!
I had started
I never actually went on a date, it was a lot of hanging out with a bunch of friends which a boyfriend would come along with and we would hang out, or would be only boyfriend and girlfriend around school. Which I didn't mind.
High School, I had a thing for tall, tan, handsome guys who were blue eyed and blonde hair. Guys who were fun, wanting to be crazy, adventurous and just did anything that we wanted to do. Honestly I had a lot of boyfriends and went on many many dates. Then I had many more crushes.

Tyler, Andrew, Something Anderson (Not remembering) David, Brandon, Dan, Jeremy A, Sam, Andrew, Jeremy S, Garrett, Jeremy S.
Just after high school and I was still living with my parents for another 2 years, I was starting to get serious with my relationships along with a lot of my guy friends are about to go on their missions!!!
My parents invited me to go to Education Week, Jeremy told me that I had to go and say hello to his Southern California friends. Why not, I had just gone to EFY, and girls camp the following weeks, I could use some more spiritual enlightenment!!There I had found a guy with those Southern California friends (Kelsie and others)
Education Week was such a blast!!
After education week, I went ahead and visited Southern California and gained more friends. Some of you may be thinking that it's a bit weird still having pictures of my exs and other guys...But knowing me, pictures explains a thousand words. I love taking pictures, I love taking those pictures and thinking about those amazing memories. Maybe those memories could get those feelings back about that guy. But for me; it doesn't. Because I have a husband who I love deeply. With these pictures they explain who I was and became who I am today.
Went on amazing dates with this guy before he had left on his mission. Then when he left, I was all for writing to him and other missionaries. Including a lot of my guy friends. I knew that, it's only what a missionary loves to receive while they were out on the field. It's because of them that I have already learned a lot what a mission was all about. I wrote to missionaries that I had never met in person before!!
As Trent was on his mission, I had dated other guys. I wasn't going to not have fun and waist my time. I still needed some time to grow. I had moved out of my parents house to Southern California. I had gained a lot of responsibility. I knew that's what Heavenly Father wanted for me to do. I still dated other guys along the way.
Including writing to more missionaries. Which one of my friends, Dave who I met through Trent, told me to write to his trainer. That's just what I had done!! I wrote to him.
"Elder Klingler!!
So I know you don't know me, but I have heard very few things about you from this very amazing, lovely elder-friend of mine-Elder Ellsworth. You might know a little about me also-the "Girlfriend"-ish of his best friend, who writes Elder Ellsworth amazing letters. (Dave actually mentioned that part of his letter when he told me to write to his trainer)

Dave told me that you need some San Jose Love (This was back when I still lived with my parents) I do love writing letters and meeting new people. I have a few pen-pals on the mission field who I have never met before. But missionaries love receiving letters-right.
So I'll give you two choices that you can make-
1) You could just reject this letter and not have wonderful, colorful letters. OR
2) You could take a chance and write me back and possibly become friends-ya, way cool! I mean honestly, what is there to loose.

Always;
