I'm trying to think of what I did in my spare time that I would now spend with John.
- I spent a lot of time at the gym. (besides work, class, and the library)
- I spent extra time socializing with a million different friends, going country and salsa dancing, trying to meet as many people as possible.
- Going out to lunch, dinner, and movies with friends
- taking road trips with my girl friends
- Just living the single life I guess.
Some people can't break away from that cycle. Or some people miss it and end up breaking relationships to go back to the single life.
Me? I'm moving on. I didn't think I'd ever get sick of dating around and exploring all the options or going to parties; but when John and I recently went to a friends "christmas party".. it was nice, but just another college singles party where everybody dresses up in their most fashionabley/hot clothing, eating treats and non-alcoholic drinks (thats BYU). They all just look at everyone else. The girls or guys may scope out thier competition and leave if they don't find enough of the opposite sex. They'll critique eachothers clothing and hair and, try to come up with interesting and witty things to say to one another. They'll talk about what they are studying, or ask where they are from and chat about finals, or how much money they'll make some day, or how much money they made over the summer selling security systems. Some may be truely intested in others and try to get their friends to introduce eachother, maybe get a number or two, plan to do something that they found they both enjoyed, go out, but found that the roommate was way cooler.
Its all fun for a while, but its actually quite exhausting, and in my case its a relief when you find someone you are very compatable with, and someone you would rather spend your free time with.
It'll be a lonely Christmas indeed.

John, aka MR. KUPPER... 
The Indian and the Mime
We started out at a huge stake activity on campus, I was starving and all they had to eat were doughnuts and candy... but you could only eat the doughnut if you entered the dang contest... so ... I did, I almost won, but the last piece of my doughnut fell on the ground. Later I found people handing out free doughnuts!! By that time I was over it.
I found my long lost friend Sarah Lacy! She was a pretty flower.
Scary Indian
So he had his glue, strings, plier things, among other tools scattered around the table... and it was set out to dry over night. The next evening (last night) I found Granddad working on it again. Tools scattered, bright working light over head, magnifying glasses on.... this man is SERIOUS! I thought it was cute, but I didn't think much of it. I left to my ward F.H.E. service project at 6:20pm and came back 2 1/2 hours later around 9pm ...only to find Granddad right where I left him. I laughed a little but just went down stairs and waited for John to come over. Around 11pm I went up stairs to get some orange juice, and I found Granddad there in the same exact spot; tools, glue, dresser handle in hand, YET COMPLETELY A SLEEP, AND SNORING! I ran down stairs to get my camera and to tell John what I had just seen.... So I ran back up stairs so that I could snap a picture of my Granddad sleeping while working on this dresser handle... but of course he woke up to the sound of my camera turning on. Dang it! And how would that make me look if he caught me taking a picture of him sleeping sitting up with tools in his hands? So I just hid my camera.. and asked him how his project was coming along... he mumbled something as he realized that he was sleeping on a stool and made his way to his room. Just another day in the life of my Granddad. So cute!
