We need to stop guessing and focus on just knowing.
Someone sent me this not two minutes ago.
I like it.
Stop being so insecure and do what you do proudly!
In lieu of this insightful saying, something brilliant and unheard of will take place this weekend. I know it (see what I did there?).
I suppose it's time to stop guessing, put on my big girl pants, and take a leap of faith.
Don't let me fall, please.
I got invited to go skiing with Sasha. Right when I think the first date will be the last, they always go and surprise me by asking me out again. This is something that is scarcely heard of in the realm of Chloe. But is it him I want to go out with...??
Men.
"Chloe, you go back out there and walk in with a smile on your face!"

In my Ann Taylor dress
Today Elder Richard G. Scott spoke to our stake at Stake Conference. He is such an adorable man. But aren't all apostles adorable?
I think they are.
Between our stake presidency and Elder Worthlin and Elder Scott, I think we heard all that we needed to hear. But there were three things that every speaker spoke about. They must be pretty important topics if one of our prophets covered it.
1. Temple worship/ Family history
2. Tell your wife you love her (this also pertains to our mothers, for those of us who aren't married).
3. The world is and evil place... and it is only going to get more intense.
These were not the topics I had anticipated to be honest. I thought there would be a lot about missions.. more about missions, I guess.
(Elder Scott told the congregation that he was going to call on a few young women from the stake to come share their testimonies. Of course, like every other girl in the audience, I suddenly became very antsy... I couldn't share my testimony on such short notice... in front of an apostle! But luckily, we heard from two very appropriate girls, both who have beautiful testimonies).
But then I got to thinking: they did talk about missions. Temple work and temple worthiness goes directly hand in hand with missions. It's something we all forget to think about when thinking about a mission. But guys! We get to go through the temple! We often over look that very exciting and important moment. Hearing the frequency of the topic, it must be very, very important that we focus all energy on getting there. It is our ultimate goal. It's always been mine, but I guess I'll keep it in mind more now that it's been addressed.
Something President Judd said that I really liked, was that we need to work our lives around the temple, not the temple around our lives.
He said that monthly temple attendance IS NOT ENOUGH. He made it a goal we ask ourselves every Sunday night after family prayer when we were going to the temple that week.
So it is my goal to go weekly. It really shouldn't be hard.. I've more than enough time. It's short and sweet, and a moment to have absolute spirituality during our crazy and hectic lives.

I went on a date with a Norwegian last night.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't absolutely terrified.
The words "date rape" popped into my head much more often than they should have.... I feel bad that I judged him so early on. But I honestly was just thinking smart.
The entire time I was wishing I was there with someone else, though. That's a sign if I didn't know one. I don't know, I think it just showed me (again) that I have a very specific type of guy in mind. As adorable and sweet as he was, I just don't know if I could see myself with someone like him. Sorry sweet Sasha.
Sometimes boys play with my head. My heart jumps out of my chest, but my head is the logical one: Be careful, darling.
No stupid, I don't want to be logical.
I think they are.
