On the eve of the wedding of two really good friends I find myself reflecting on life. Life is most defiantly something that you least expect it to be. As I sit here, the last of my good friends from High School who is still single I can't help but think that in High School it was I who was thought to be the first one married. Now I have friends with two kids! I keep moving on to other single friends but they keep getting married. I guess the moral of this story is any guy that wants to get married should come be my friend and it'll happen. I've also had a good streak at dating girls who then immediately get married after dating me. This I've known about for some time now too so girls if you want to get married then come and date me :)
My second thought is that of time. What happens to it? I think to myself (cause everyone else is married) that there are 6 days in the week, leaving out Sunday as a "day of rest". Now most of us work so during 5 of those days we are at work but we have evenings. This is how my week goes most of the time...
Monday - FHE, there is some time left over here for example today I did my laundry!
Tuesday - Should be at the Family History Center since I'm over that committee, Institute is that night and now we are doing visits as a EQ presidency.
Wednesday - I claim this as my night to go ride my horse but usually have to plan HT here or other activities.
Thursday - Here we have ward visits which I should go to but we also have our EQ presidency meetings here too.
Friday - Date night, which usually turns into some sort of Ward Activity or group party or something else.
Saturday seems like it should be available to do what I want to right? But it never happens. Luckily since I have season tickets to the most Awesomeness College Football Team in the Nation, then I rearrange things to be free for these(although get in trouble cause I don't make it to all the parties).
Wow! So I apologize for this post but I think I'm just frustrated with dating and the such. It seems like I can never find a girl who likes me AND I like her. I've had many a girl express interest in me, i.e. the girl who told me if I asked her for a date she would say August after knowing each other for about two weeks! And I've liked a lot of girls but am always turned down nicely. I guess when both like each other then you get married so obviously it hasn't happened for me yet.
Anywho, though I would post cause I haven't in a really long time. But now at least you should sort of understand. Oh and the last thing is the EQ pres. just got engaged so I'm on the short list and really don't want to be. Oh well, I've got to seek the kingdom of God first and then...Jacob 2:18-19!

Hey Matt...I have to second your frustration with dating. I'm right there with you. I think it is a freakin' MIRACLE when two people actually get married - what are the odds right?? :) I have had a somewhat frustrating experience over the last 9 months and am so confused as to where things are now?? Haha. Glad I'm not the only one who is "over" the dating scene. Hope everything else is going well. Take care! :)

Matt, Matt, Matt. Being single is so great. 7 girls for every righteous dude. Live it up man!
dude, i feel ya. i am a bit acquainted with such frustration. dating can be hard and taxing. being married is great and also very challenging. in the words of dory, "just keep swimming."
