"...This life is made up of little things-little things that count a great deal. I believe that the little things are of great importance in our relationship with ourselves, in our relationship with others, and in our relationship with God." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

I'm just your typical girl who loves to lay around in sweats, a messy bun and spend quality time with those she loves. I've learned that it's the little things in life that makes it so beautiful. Even when life gets hard, little things like a smile or a simple "I love you" can make all the difference. I truly believe in this. Never think that your life doesn't matter - it does. It matters for eternity. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And I am a Christian.
I'm a Mormon.

How Would You Respond to This?

Typically when you come home from a long vacation, some sort of camp, or college you are greeted by lots of people with the simple, "Welcome Back!" phrase. However..my 'welcome back' was a lot different then I expected. This past weekend, parents would first say hi and hug me but then say, "Wow, I'm surprised you aren't married yet!" or "I was totally expecting to be going to your wedding this summer, surprised you're not married!"....how do you respond to that? I mean, I guess it's a compliment in a way but at the same time...what the HECK!? hahahaha! Like, am I suppose to be married right now? Is it bad that I'm not? Should I be concerned that I'm still single? I mean, haha, it's so random! A lot of parents told me that I look a lot more mature coming home this time around then I did for winter semester but...just cause I look older does that mean I should be getting married this summer? Oh parents...how they humor me.

That's the one thing about the Mormon culture that, to be honest, I'm still trying to get the hang of. Mormon's get married young, we all know it. But just because I'm Mormon now doesn't mean that I have to all of a sudden have a ring on my finger. I hope I don't get married too young...the earliest would be 21 (which haha is still young!) if I did. A lot of my friends have been getting married young and hey, if it works for you then by all means! But I think for me, at least, because I am a convert and I never saw myself getting married till I was about 27, I don't see a rush to get married. I'm going to be with this guy for ALL eternity! I want to be able to enjoy the single life and travel and have fun! Haha I could be saying all of this right now and get engaged by the end of next semester...and if that happens then great! I'm glad! But, I know that I'm not the type of person to just rush into marriage...I need to make sure. Like a friend recently told me, "You can't screw up with eternity."
