Texting transcript of the week

Today, 11:53 a.m.

. . .

Nothing like going to bio and spilling termites all over your lab partner and yourself../.

Oy. It'll make a good story someday...

He was cute though...he asked for my number, the termites were a good bonding experience...

Haha. Now that's a "meet cute."

>< He's an rm* though...hahaha. It was so embarrassing!!!!

Don't bring any of those termites home now!

:D I'll send them in a box specifically for you :)

Is he your lab partner for the rest of the semester?
If so, maybe he should wear protective clothing :)

:P if he sits by me. haha

. . .

*rm = returned missionary,  meaning he's over 21 years old having served a two-year mission for our church. We are gently encouraging our gal to avoid this variety of gentlemen at this stage in her life as they seem to be a bit more in a marrying frame of mind.

I just read the story on her blog and was thinking, "She totally needs to marry him so they can have the best story EVER of how they met." You'd be okay if she was a freshman bride, right? :-)

I'm thinking you should continue to discourage the rm thing... until NEXT year, of course, when MY rm will be there.

That is a cute story Annie. Although I ran from the rm type for years, even if seemed, after I was one:) I hope my daughters do the same:)
