First of all, let's talk about my love last summer. After some pretty serious dating for about 8 months, someone actually told me he loved me, and, of course, I told him the same back. A month after that, July 2nd to be exact (one year and a day ago from today) he expressed to me that I was everything he could hope to have in a wife and told me he wanted to get married. I was thrilled at the thought but I kept it kinda on the DL (like a tiny bit) because even though he was old enough, I was still only 18. But we both figured it was only a matter of time. And now, though, lo and behold, a year later we are not married and we still can't figure things out. My point of this story though is that
<<JANICE JAN JENNIFER BLANK CHRISTENSEN is soon going to be a SWEAT>>
Where did that point come from? Well let me continue the story. There were some ups and downs that the boy and I had last year, but when deciding to apply for an education program, we thought we should be closer together because marriage could be on the horizon. After some serious decision making, I decided to come home and finish school at UVU Wasatch Campus -- something Jan could NEVER dream of doing. Also around this time, Tiffany got engaged to Scott, and they'd only known each other about 4 months or so -- something we all kinda thought was a little cray. Well during Christmas break, J met Carson officially (even though we're all from the Hebs, he is kinda way older than us) and they have been inseparable pretty much ever since. It's like her own little fairytale. So she starts thinking of marriage way soon (like Tiffany) and about moving home (like me) and we all basically knew how it would end up.
Well today, July 3, 2013, another one of my BFFs officially came off of the market to become engaged to her very own prince.
She even sent me these sweet pics of today. And her ring -- it's just what she's always wanted!!
This is just one year and a day after I really thought I would be marrying who I knew (at the time) was my prince. I don't think many people, especially myself, would really think that I would be one of the last ones to get married, but I really am!
Although I am so happy for my friends and the path that their lives are on, I wouldn't trade mine. Of course I would definitely add someone into the mix, but I have to remember the things I have accomplished when I feel sometimes like a little bit of a failure because I am alone or not on a mission.

So as everyone is all cute and getting married and having kids or going on a mission, I'm kinda just like chillin ya know? Just loving life as I can with all the cool things I get to do! Like I said, I couldn't trade my life or what I want for anything. It needs to be right, and I'm hopeful one day it will be. :)
So until next time:
I am very happy for Jan; she is SO in love.
And always remember-
