Encouraging moments. . .

Lately I've been having all these depressing moments when I feel like I'll be single forever. Graduating from college without ever having been in a rrromantic relationship can do that to you. . . But then I start feeling happy when people think that I'm marriagable.
Like, this weekend, I went to see my friend Ruth, and her older brother called her up and they were talking. (He was one of my youth group leaders in high school!) And she mentioned that I was there, and he asked what my last name was now. . .as if I was married or something! So I was like, awwww, somebody thinks that I could be married. Sigh.

And then yesterday I was swimming with Libby's sister and her friend (aged 13 and 14) and we were just chatting, yada yada yada, and it came up that I was going to a wedding on Saturday, and the friend thought that it was me getting married, and she was shocked that I was just sitting around and not attending to all the last minute details of the dress and everything. After making it clear that I was NOT getting married on Saturday, I then pointed out that I would have my wedding dress perfect at least a year before getting married (exaggerating of course), and then Anna was like, well, you're too late then! And I was like, wait, you think I'll be getting married in less than a year? And she thought that was probably true. Alas, i don't think that will quite work out for me. Moving to a new country. . .not having any possibilities. . .being who I am. . .it all adds up to say. . .SINGLE.

Ah, well, such is life. In the meantime I'll just sit here and gaze upon any marvelous specimens of God's wonderful creation that come along.
