So yes, I'm hearing wedding bells again, but guess what, they ain't for me. DUH! So I just got this email from a really sweet friend of mine 'Squeegie' Steve Bloomfield. I had the pleasure of 
meeting him my freshman year of college and I just adore him. Steve was engaged last year, but it fell through and it was sad because I think Steve is awesome and should be happy. Tonight I just got an email that he is now planning to get married; to help with defeating the cold feet they are scheduling the wedding for next month. Way to go Squeege!

Of course this puts me into reflection. I was talking to my visiting teachers last night and they are both single; one about 30ish and the second 21. I made the mistake of saying that right now I don't have any plans to get married, my plans of life are more career oriented. The 30 year old kind of looked at me and gave me the "how-dare-you" look. I felt bad, but ya know what, it's somewhat true... The other girl kind of just sat there. I know she's been engaged a couple times herself and came to Germany to clear her mind of her most recent ex. Yeah, it's kind of sad and maybe selfish that I sit here and think only of my life and what I want to 'grow up' to be. I'm just happy I'm here doing it instead of the states. Can you imagine all the YSA chicks that would be jumping on me in R.S. if I ever even hinted about the lack of motivation to see white?
DISCLAIMER TIME: Of course this is not to say that I never want to get married or that I'm not looking forward to the day. It is however saying that my life is not revolving around how many different guys I can say those three magic words to before I start having kids. Life is good as it is.
So now on to less serious things... I recently got a calling from a member of the Stake Presidency
to be what they call an EFY counselor. :) Basically, I'm going to EFY with my ward. Now this may not sound all that exciting to anyone, but EFY this year is in Denmark, and I get a free pass to go!!! What makes it even better is that Pres Olsen told me that there is a rumor that any YSA who helps out with the EFY is subject to going to the big YSA 
conference in the Nordic region for free too. I think this year it's in Sweeden. Last year it was Norway! Hahaha! I'm kind of stoked. Yeah, I think I am!
