Good Morning, or Good Afternoon, or Good Evening,
this post should take approximately five minutes to read from start to finish.
This post focuses on answering the following two questions; "How did you and Jacob made the decision to date each other?" "What did you do on your first ever date with Jacob in person?" and "Who got to choose the first date?"
Our Dating Decision;
Sometime before Jacob and I started dating each other; I knew that it would be a great idea for me to fast and pray about whether if I should pursue myself into a relationship with Jacob or not. When I did that, I remembered that I have felt a strong prompting with the answer that I got. I remembered during a skype call, I have asked Jacob if he would fast and pray about whether if he should pursue himself into a relationship with me or not.
He mentioned that he would do that. While I was waiting for Jacob to receive his answer, I did not tell Jacob about my answer until he gotten his answer. One day; it was a great day, and we both shared with each other of our answers. We both felt confident that we were making the right decision to pursue to date each other. After being friends for eight weeks, we pursued to the next step which was to be in a relationship.
Although, we thought it would be great idea if we can meet each other while I was in Utah in February 2018, and we should pray about it in person if we should continue pursuing our relationship or not. We knew that IF we did not like each other in person, we would not have continued dating, and we would have moved on with our lives.
Jacob has booked his flight from Dallas, Texas to Salt Lake City, Utah. I remembered when he told me that he has booked his flights, and we both were so excited. We were counting the days together when we finally get to meet each other in person. We thought it was best to not tell any of our friends and relatives that we were dating each other before we met each other in person. We kept our relationship as a secret between ourselves.
I remembered that Jacob has shared with me his conversation that he had with his mother sometime prior to flying to Utah. The conversation went something like this;
Jacob: I am planning to go to Utah. My mother-in-law: What for? Jacob: To meet a girl.
My mother-in-law: I hope she is worth it. Jacob: That's why I am going there to find out.
Fast forward to the same evening that Jacob has flew into Utah, we both went to Provo City Temple. We attended a sealing session. Some church members thought that we were a married couple, and they seemed surprised after Jacob or I have mentioned to them that we are boyfriend and girlfriend. We eventually went to the Celestial Room in the Temple. I prayed about if Jacob and I was meant to be for each other. You probably were thinking why would I do that?
Well I have changed from what I originally going to pray to pray about something else. After I have finished saying my prayers; I have decided to opened the scriptures, and I have opened to a scripture verse that mentioned about "The Holy Spirit of Promise." I felt so happy, I felt joy as well, and I had happy tears.
It felt like Heavenly Father has approved us for being in a relationship and that Jacob and I are meant to be for each other. We decided from that evening that we should continue our relationship, we announce it on Facebook that we were in a relationship. I remembered that a lot of friends "LIKED," reacted and congratulated us for being in a relationship.
Our First Date (in person)
I remembered when Jacob and I discussed on Skype one day of what we would like to do for our very first date in person. I kept thinking about some ideas. I knew that I did not want to go out to watch one of the latest movies in the cinemas, I also knew that I did not want to go bowling, and I also knew that I did not want to go ice skating.
A question that came to my mind; "What could possibly be so much fun and memorable first date with Jacob in person?" I knew that I wanted to do something different, and something new to me. I eventually did some research online. I somehow saw skiing as a great idea for a date. I went onto a ski resort website (Snowbird, in Utah). I checked the prices online.
I was so surprised to see that Snowbird Ski Resort has a special happening; and that was $100 US dollars ($130 Australian dollars ish) per adult. It included the ski rentals, and using the lifts. It did not including lockers hire. I think it was Jacob who booked the passes, I could not remember too much about that part. I knew that we both were very excited and looking forward to our very first date.
Fast forward to February 9th, 2018 - After Jacob and I have met each other in person at the Salt Lake City Airport in Utah. We were so excited to look forward to our first date. We went to Snowbird Ski Resort. I made sure that I packed some spare clothes in my bag so Jacob and I was able to Provo City Temple after our first date.
Back to the story of our first date. Jacob gotten a car rental, we felt so much joy at the airport as waiting in line for Jacob to eventually sign the paperwork for the car rental. During our trip from the airport to the Snowbird Ski Resort; we were holding each other's hands, and we felt so happy to be finally being together in person.
We both talked a lot. We eventually arrived at Snowbird Ski Resort. I went to the restroom to get changed into warmer clothes that was appropriate to going skiing. Jacob and I had a quick lunch together. I could not remember too much about what we ate.
We were both ready for skiing, and we went skiing together, we made a small snowman together, and we had so much fun. Jacob had so much patience with me and teaching me how to ski.
I did not went skiing before, and it was so cold. I stumbled and I kept falling from skiing for the first hour into skiing. I eventually did very well of skiing. I am definitely looking forward to go skiing again sometime.
Stay Tuned until next time.
