Let's chat, k?
Well actually let's brag.
About my daddy. He's awesome.
He knows me pretty well. I'm not sure why that surprised me, but it did.
I'm apparently predictable.
My dad knows that I was having a hard time waiting for Nathan to get his call. And he knew how proud I was of Nate and everything like that.
My dad helped me plan my future, far away wedding. He gave me really good ideas I never thought about before he suggested them, and his ideas make so much sense. I'm going to use them. I love that he talked to me about it.
And he always told me, Nathan is a great guy but if he's not the one, there is someone else that is going to come along that is even better. Nathan isn't your only chance of happiness. Just find someone that will take you to the Temple.
So the other day while I was sitting in the main room watching tv with my dad.
He decided to ask a question that opened up a whole conversation and I got to tell my dad exactly what I'm going through.
He asked if Nate and I are Done Done.
OH if you only knew. I assured him off, Yes. We are Done Done. He is Not the one for me.
I got to tell him about the blessing I got from the patriarch confirming that Nate is not the one. And I told him about the reflections I've had and what I've been thinking about when I think about Nate. The fact that our relationship was far from perfect and there was a LOT of room for improvement. He was theoretically right for me, but wasn't the one. He didn't give me butterflies or make me smile ALL the time and that is what I want.
My dad responded with a response of Go find him, don't settle. Just because Nate treated me well doesn't mean anyone else can't. He told me to go find someone that will treat me like the Goddess I want to become in the gospel.
Then we talked about guys in the Single Ward (he is the ward clerk so both my parents are in my singles ward and I don't mind)
My dad shared his opinion about guys I've been hanging out with now and brought up positive attributes he sees in boys I mentioned.
They were attributes I never really thought about in looking for friends or dates.
I'm looking now.
I love my Daddy. He is the best.
