Bitter? Party of One?
As this has been the happiest of all weeks for many, I just don't know if I share in that same emotion. I have learned of five engagements within the last week. Five! And one couple may or may not consist of a boy I dated last summer. How are these people finding each other? Honestly, what are the chances that two people are in the same place at the same time? Both totally attracted to each other physically, mentally, and spiritually. Both at a point in their life that they are ready to commit. And both feel they are sufficiently mature and stable enough. Not to mention, this person who you choose to marry is the only one who you are in control of being in your family - you can't decide who your parents were, who your siblings are, or who your kids are going to be. I mean, so many factors play into this crucial decision called marriage and it just boggles my mind how many people make that decision, especially within this past week. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for this to happen for me, but I'm just a curious kitten as to how it seems to work out for so many people and I'm not going to name names, but some people (Erin and I) just can't seem to catch a break. So if anyone knows, please enlighten me.

ha. yes - please enlighten us.
mir-
you will look back on this post in awe of how far you have come. there is no secret recipe. there is no perfect timeline. every story is different. you are amazing...and someone right now is searching for just that.
Mir- I love your blog! I am so glad you finally made one. How is life chillin' at the Hughes pad?
So- about the marriage thing- I don't know, you just have to meet someone and then two weeks later decide you want to spend eternity together, sounds easy enough to me :) ha ha
Sorry to be negative Nancy, but- I don't think people find all those things right away! I think most people are dumb and they aren't looking for all those things you mentioned and that's why people get married so young and that's why so many have difficult marriages. So, don't feel jealous of those girls that got engaged. I have to add that you're smarter than them and you know what you're looking for and to find that takes more time. And when Allan and I met, it was totally not part of my game plan so I guess be open to new things.
I agree with Kassie...totally not in my game plan either. Call me crazy but I think it is rare for people to EVER be 100% without a doubt positive that it's the right decision. People will tell you that they were because they don't want it to seem like they had doubts about their marriage. I think marrying Brady was the best decision I've ever made, and I definitely felt good about it beforehand, but that doesn't mean I wasn't nervous to make that leap. Does that make sense? It's a huge adjustment and it's smart of you to spend more than two seconds thinking about what you want in someone and what it takes to make a marriage work. That's my two sense.
