The Beginning

Well, let's start from the beginning. My first date was a classic first date. Dinner, movie, and a cute boy. Little did I know that this first date would only lead to more first dates than I can remember and more heartbreak than I ever wanted. I am turning 25 in a couple of weeks and it has for sure made me think. I never thought I would make it to 25 unmarried, and graduated from BYU no less! It's just not something you plan on when your Young Women's teacher has you write down where you will be in 5 years. My list consisted of 3 basic things: Graduated from college, married in the Temple, and hopefully a baby. I still want these 3 things more than anything. With that being said, I have decided to start this blog at the encouragement of my family, friends, and even strangers. I can't tell you how many times I have been told that I should write a book after I tell one of my dating stories. I am often the entertainment at family Sunday dinners as I tell about my own relationships or those of my friends.

As my first post of my dating musings I want to lay a foundation. I say musings because it will, more than anything, be my own thoughts. I will remain anonymous because I would never want to give anyone any reason to be offended by me. I want this to be an open forum where you can comment, share your experiences, and even pose a question to be answered. I for sure do not have all of the answers, because if I did, I wouldn't be single. But there might be someone else who reads and knows the answer. Sometimes it's nice to just have a totally outside opinion. This blog will also not be a bashing station. My musings will also consist of amusings. I will share my successes and those around me successes. I think we all need to hear when something good is actually happening. It gives us the hope to go on one more date and go to one more party. So, with that foundation, I look forward to sharing my musing with you.
A couple quotes to think about. I couldn't help but laugh right out loud, especially after the weekend I had.
