unfit for a young lady... ooops...

some nights are full of funny little coincidences.
like tonight.

nigel and i went to the temple. she grabbed the april new era-- pure genius/divine intervention/luck because it was all on dating!
needless to say, we eagerly read most of the issue while waiting to be baptized for the dead. and i admit, we giggled a bit {if you read, you will understand why}.

it definitely had some great sound advice from prophets and aposltes.
but, our eyes came across a quote that was so perfectly priceless in that moment of our current respective situations. . . that we really couldn't help but laugh! {and when i say laugh, i mean giggle silently because we were in the temple}.

"behave like a daughter of God. do not be forward, loud, brash, or suggestive...
it is not fitting for a young woman who understands her identity as a daughter of God."

i will let the irony speak for itself!
my post on flirting?

... uh, yeah...

then, as i am huddled in my thin white towel outside a locker waiting for the unknown girl within to leave it vacant so i can stop shivering and change into something more decent, out comes my friend cambrie! we were both so surprised to see one another in such unusual circumstances! but happy nonetheless. we didn't hug because i was wet and only had a towel on, but it was a happy moment to my day.

little things like that just make me smile.

*as a side note, the new era april issue is a good one and offers PROOF that pda is no bueno.  every byu student should read this! seriously. {and please forgive my smidgen of hypocrisy as i was once a pda-er}

"when people speak of public displays of affection they are talking about couples kissing, wrapping their arms around each other, or engaging in other kinds of touching in public. this kind of behavior shows a lack of self-control and self-respect, and it is also self-centered and inconsiderate, because it often makes others feel uncomfortable."

hah! i want to carry this wherever i may go and pass out copies to couples sprawled as one on the grass or groping in the library or canoodling in the temple {yes-- 3 couples TONIGHT! one couple read scriptures out loud, switching off chapters, and they were soooo distracting}, or spooning in the hot tub, or sucking face in the grocery store and in line at the movie theaters or ... yeah. basically everywhere one can be in provo.

i love vindication!
