Since I've had a couple people ask me about my relationship with Kent, I figure it's finally time to admit the truth. Kent and I broke up in April. At first I didn't tell anyone because it was too fresh, and there was a chance of us getting back together. Then I didn't say anything because nobody asked how things were going with him. If nobody asked, nobody was told. After a few weeks I told my family because, let's face it, they're family. They have a right to know.
We started dating in July 2006, and the relationship was great. We had our ups and downs with every relationship, and we both learned and grew a lot in the relationship. I won't go into to details, but by April it didn't seem like things were going to work out. Both of us had done things that had changed the relationship, and so it ended. We're still friends, which I know people will say isn't the best idea. But we've been each others' best friend for such a long time, it's hard to completely sever that relationship. And I don't do cold turkey very well on anything.
I haven't gone on a date since we broke up, and I don't have a desire to. Now that I'm single, I'm once again okay with my single status. I miss the closeness a relationship can bring, but I'm not ready for it anymore. Going on dates would be fun, but I'm not asking, and I haven't been asked out since I moved to D.C. for the summer. So I'm just enjoying my time here in D.C. while I can.

If you haven't been on any dates, what do you call HMS Pinafore and a picnic dinner? Or Wall-E? Or Kung-Fu Panda?
Sure, they weren't romantic in nature, but last I checked, they still met the definition of a "date". (Just ask Mer. I used to take her on "dates" all the time before my mission.)
K, I gotta say -- it is SLIGHTLY creepy to talk about dating your sister. I'm just saying.
Though I loved that Ricardo used to use my picture as his "girl back home" when people hit on him as a missionary. THAT was funny.
