Hey, Prince Charming? You can come out now!

You guys... in case you hadn't figured it out... I'm in a bit of a funk. (By "figured it out", I mean not blogging for 2 months. So unlike me.)

Growing up SUCKS. The J.O.B., the bills, the independence. Ugh, I just want Mom to come do my laundry every once in a while. And cook me real food instead of just microwave popcorn.

However, one thing has not suffered in vain- my closet! Pretty sure my wardrobe has doubled since coming to SF. What? People dress differently out here! An Idaho/Utah wardrobe is about 2 years behind a Californian wardrobe fashion-wise. And people actually care who is on the label, not just if it's cute/modest. Not to mention I need to start dressing like an adult, not a college student.

Anyways...

I have definitely had a wake up call. Being here, having a full-time career (and I mean FULL time, getting paid for 40 hours when you definitely work 50-60, ugh) and doing my own thing has led me to one very important conclusion.

I gotta get MARRIED.

I mean, I've always known that. But it always seemed so far off in the distance. Like when I was 25-26 ish. I never felt like I was ready to get married. I mean, being independent, moving to cool places, not being responsible for other people? Sounds like a BLAST! Until you realize how being independent, moving to a new place, and not having people rely on can also be very lonely.

Now, this revelation of mine doesn't mean I'm going to grab the nearest available male and run to the courthouse. It just means that I'm more open to the idea than I was before. I feel like I've had enough necessary life experience in order to appreciate the institution.

Maybe this is just living in San Fran, one of the most industrial cities ever, but people are SOOOOooooo focused on their careers out here. I think people still want to get married, but only if it works into their schedule (guilty!). But it's not the focus like it was at BYU. And because it's not the focus, it seems like it never happens.

Basically, the point of this blog post is just to send out good vibes. I've been a little closed off to the idea of dating people, and really just the whole idea of getting married. So I'm holding myself responsible to continue to seek out for a best friend/eternal companion by making this revelation public.

And... if you know of any single, Mormon, college seniors/grads, 30 or under... yeah. Ya know.
