I guess everyone gets to that point in their lives when all of their friends seem to be discussing marriage at once… my best friend from middle school, two friends from church, my roommate’s partner at work… and now one of my best friends here got engaged!
For anyone who actually reads this besides Stacey, my boyfriend is discerning whether he has a vocation to the priesthood (Catholic and therefore celebate and unmarried). He’s also only nineteen (a year younger than me) and, even though he’s about to graduate from college, that’s still pretty young. Besides, we finally gave up trying to get into graduate school near each other. Nevertheless, my parents had been married for almost three years when they were my age (almost 21) and I have to admit that I watch with longing as my friends show off their newly-decorated fingers. I love my boyfriend… it’s just such a weird situation that I’m even willing to write a ridiculous and far too informative entry about it.
