Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee

So my life has become semi movie-esque. Let me tell you of the ridiculousness.

This summer I went to Spain to visit people I knew while I served my mission, and then I worked in Madrid. While traveling my mission, several people professed their love to me. But I explained to them the nature of our relationship. All fine and dandy. I visited, and then I left.

Then I went to Madrid, and met a ton of new people and became friends with a group of YSAs in the Madrid area. (They don't have YSA wards like in the states, but they have very active YSAs that do everything together.)

Now, you cannot tell me that you never thought it would be exciting to date someone while in a foreign country. You watched all of those Mary Kate and Ashley movies too, admit it! I figured, I had 4 weeks, I might as well make the most of it. Thus, I went out a few times with someone while in Madrid... and then it all blew up in my face when I also went out with his best friend.* But for the record, I did not think that we were in any sort of relationship. I mean, how could we be, I was only there for 4 weeks! (Can we say DRAMA!?!)

Then we had this very long conversation about Green Cards and intercultural relationships. (Please keep in mind that he does not speak English.) He was very adamant that if he were ever to go to the United States, it would be on his own accord. He said, he'd be there in three months. It was all very good and dandy in the hypothetical sense. I did not really think it was possible, let alone plausible.

UNTIL...

He flew around the world and MOVED TO PROVO!

Luckily, Provo has several YSA wards, and I have yet to see him, even though he has asked me to go dancing with him. Sometimes your summer fling just needs to be light and fun, and STAY in the foreign country where it started.

But at least now I can check several things off of my life to-do list...

All I can say is that I'm not planning on squeezing into black spandex and sing "We Go Together" anytime soon.

* I did not know they were best friends at the time.
