my love life..because i know everyone has been wondering.

i'm at that age where people {in utah county, especially} are really wondering why i am not married.  i find people studying me, looking for a tail or an extra finger, just some indication why i don't have a boo.  i've hit old maid status at the embarrassing age of 20.  so everyone i know is trying to help me by only talking to me about my "type" and setting me up.

tonight i was at a bbq to scout out some "man meat" {their words, not mine} my family would like to set me up with and eventually be thanked at our future dream wedding that so many are waiting for.  while at the bbq, i met a handsome, energetic, young man.  before ever introducing himself he slapped my leg then ran away.  this is a fairly normal first reaction i get from the opposite sex.  then he came and gave me a hug and tried to sit on me.  later he whispered into my ear "you're hot" and i said "thank you."  and those were the only words we shared that evening.  

that is the most action i have had in months.

he was six.

streams of mercy, never ceasing.

{love love love.}

i think i might be a jinx.  or something.  because, in the last year, 2 buildings on provo center street that courtney and i took pictures by right before she left on the mission {like this one} have been destroyed.  one knocked down.  one burnt down.  the provo tabernacle, a fantastically beautiful building, one of utah's oldest in fact,and home to an original minerva teichert, mysteriously went up in flames last week.  finally firemen were allowed in the building to clean up, and they found this.  a picture of christ.  burnt everywhere...except where christ stands.  and i don't call that a coincidence.  i love Him.

p.s.  there was one more building that courtney and i posed in front of{seen here}that day, just off center street.  consider this my warning to them...just to be safe.
