ahem*

So let's be frank.
Most of my friends are all getting married within the year: Kristin, Beth, Stephanie, Lisa, Kari, Andrea, Caitlin, Allison, Jason, Jess, to name a few. Sadly, I could go on...really, there's more...but I'd rather not. Apparently, a lot of people attend Calvin to get their MRS degree. (Which is "Mrs." marriage degree for those who don't know.) The tension is mounting.
-the pressure to look, act, and BE desirable
-the race to get married
-the fear of being unlovable

It's no fun, really. Since I haven't met him yet and am enjoying my life as it is right now, I have no great longing to get married this moment. EXCEPT...for the longing everyone else assumes I feel, therefore they force it on me. Does that make sense? I don't feel I'm missing anything until others TELL me I certainly am. I'm not that old, am I? Only 22 yrs. I mean, it would be different if he were here now and I was just stalling, or something. When I say I'm ok....I am. God has been so good to me and filled my life with so many people and activities right now that I don't really feel like I'm being left out. Right now, I'm good. I'm not saying there's no potential out there, but I'm not dying to get it accomplished. And those fun little secret crushes..ahh...well, we'll see, won't we? [Won't we, Kate? :) ]
