Antman with Ant-h-ony

Tuesday night (06/21/15) I met up with Anthony, Rachel, Steven and their friend to watch Antman at the theater. When I arrived Rachel said "Caitlin, you look so pretty!"
Anthony:"She stole my line."
Okay, wasn't that the charming?
Anthony paid for my ticket, which was incredibly sweet of him. We sat by each other and he was pretty fidgety through the entire movie. We still haven't held hands and I think he is trying to work up the courage to hold my hand. Maybe I am completely wrong but from what I could gather from his body language he was thinking about it. He would cross his arms, then quickly unfold them, putting one hand down on his leg by me and after a few seconds would clasp his hands together. He did this multiple times.
I really enjoyed the movie and I especially enjoyed watching it with him. After the movie he asked what time I had to be back to my parents, he was going to invite me go and do something after the movie. I unfortunately had to hurry back home so I couldn't do anything else with them that night.
Here was my text to him later that evening: Bonsoir, Anthony! Thanks so much for the movie tonight! I really enjoyed watching it with you. I hope your day goes better tomorrow and that your coworkers hormones aren't as crazy. ;) (His one coworker is very pregnant and apparently has been insane lately with random outbursts of anger, she has been throwing things in the office, luckily not directed at Anthony.)
And his replied: Thanks. :) And I really enjoyed having you there! Thanks for coming. :) Have a great night, Caitlin!

I am seriously falling for this boy pretty hard.

That night while I was driving to my parents house I was able to admire the vibrant sunset illuminating the sky. Callie was set apart as a missionary and was given a beautiful blessing. That girl is going to be so different when she returns. I am glad I was able to spend the night and be with her for the last little bit before we took her to the MTC yesterday. We had a sleepover in the big yellow room downstairs on the king size bed. I have started becoming a lot closer to her the last couple years and am going to miss her dearly. She is one of my best friends. I wouldn't want to lose her for the next year and a half for anything less than a mission. I am so proud of her decision to serve the Lord and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Grant came to watch her be set apart, I hope his heart is starting to soften and that he will come back to the gospel. I pray that Callie's mission will bring an outpouring of blessings to our family and that it will bring us closer together.

Dropping Callie off was harder than I expected yesterday. I choked up as I told her how proud I was of her. We shed tears and we said goodbye to her. A lot can happen in 18 months. Erin and Ryan could have a baby by then, Grant and Emily could too (or get married, or maybe both?!), I could get married, I will have graduated with my Bachelor's degree, living who knows where, Grandma could pass away (hopefully not though!), etc.  Callie has always been there for all holidays and events, it will be a weird
Christmas with just Mom, Dad and Grant there this year.

Change, Change and more change. I often think of the quote from Beth in Little Women when she asks "Why does everyone want to go away? I love being home. But I don't like being left behind..." Part of me knows that things can not stay the way they are, and we need change to grow and learn, but I will always miss the times before everyone moved away. I am grateful for the memories of my childhood/adolescent years of growing up with my wonderful family, they are truly a blessing in my life.
