okay. so this post is not me complaining about my love life (because i actually have a sweetheart, thank you very much). no. this post is me, well, sort of congratulating my young -
AND I MEAN YOUNG - friends on their engagements.
but in a weird way.
so I'm
Mormon, and proud of it. but oh my heavens, the past few days my news feed on just about
EVERY social networking site has been blowing up big time with gooey pictures of the lovebirds and their engagement photos with the stereotypical "
oh i'm not showing off my ring, my hand just happened to land on his chest that way" picture. literally cracks me up every time i see it! remind me not to do that pose when it's my turn.
but these gorgeous beauties are literally the same age as me. . . or within two years at least. i'm eighteen. i may love someone, but i am NOT ready at all to get married. i still have my life i have to live and friends i have to meet and college i have to struggle through before i make that kind of commitment. i mean, even though i absolutely can't wait until my happy day comes and i say yes to that one question that'll give me butterflies like nothing before, make my cheeks brighter that Dorothy's slippers, and bring me eternal love with my one and only. but that's not for another oh, three years or so.
don't read this post as me being sarcastic in any way. because i view marriage as something sacred beyond anything in comparison. and it's something that my religion values tremendously. and i've grown up with wanting to marry my "prince" in a beautiful "castle", otherwise known as an honorable returned missionary in a breathtakingly pristine
temple.
so to congratulate these wonderful young women on their newfound life, i present to you my current love life and our pre-engagement pictures. . . .
