Since I’ve graduated, almost everybody I know has somebody who is “perfect for me.” I guess I’m flattered that my friends consider me an eligible member of the dating pool, but I can’t help but wonder why I’m not stumbling across all these men who are “perfect for me” on my own. Let’s see…there’s Shannon’s Joel…Kimberly’s Kevin (I even got a Christmas video about him/featuring him)…Lia’s Don (Blah)…Bre’s friend in Hawaii….the list is endless (my mother even has a few suggestions). It makes me laugh, but I guess I should take the help wherever I can get it:)
I get a good giggle at the constant attempts to hook me up but, every once in a while, it rubs me the wrong way. The bad vibe is not because my friends think I need their help…I acknowledge my dependency! The genuine frustration comes in their assumption that my life is not complete without a husband. I know, I know…marriage can be a wonderful thing and…yes, I do desire to be married some day. But…I really am happy where I am. If it is God’s desire that I be married, so that he may use my life in a greater way, then…Yay! If it’s not in His plan, I’m not ready to put my life on hold while I wait for a man to complete me. Thanks for your help, but I’m not willing to assume that marriage is the path that God has laid out for this girl’s life. I refuse to live my life in the “meantime.”

Talking about relationships (of the confusing sort)

Everything I know about your dad says that these hook- up-recommendation-conversations have the potential for being very funny. I love that he can't remember their names:)
That's pretty funny Tyler. Let's play "Guess the Anonymous Poster." Do you know who this is?
I don't know if I'm invited to play or if only Tyler can play...but...I'm guessing...Megan Rice?
Jen?
Hello Sherry!
Don't think I don't know about that kinda stuff...my sister is only married and pregnant...and I've been asked by countless relatives this past holiday, and people from high school that I've run into "So, are you dating anyone?" And when I tell them my answer (it's been the same for the past almost-20 years: no) they smile sympathetically, almost like they're thinking "aww...little precious, you will one day, don't worry". It's annoying. I live in those crazy cottages with 8 other girls, 6 of which are in relationships, and for right now, I think I'm content without a guy...from what I've witnessed...along with the good, they can also bring added drama. I think right now I'm enough drama on my own thank you very much.
Hope you had some wonderful holidays!
