today is the day...

I know. It's way past my bedtime, but I have to announce 2 things. Today is the day that:
1) I lengthened 2 pairs of pants. That means I now have 2 more pairs that I can wear on non-"wear your pajamas to work" days.
2) I diffused a family misnomer. Actually, I think Grandma did. Since I was a freshman in college, I've been getting the "I was married by the time I was your age" comments from my grandmother. I recently learned that she was not as concerned as I originally perceived. While Grandpa was in the hospital, recovering from anesthesia, he told my cousin that I needed to get a job in the athletics office on campus, so that one of the big athletes could sweep me off my feet. I soon thereafter learned that he was the one that was concerned for my well-being. Today we found actual, physical proof. Grandma has been cleaning out Grandpa's office and found something AMAZING today. Random excerpts from a book called HOW TO MAKE A MAN FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU. Because of the previously mentioned pants, I haven't had the necessary time to fully appreciate the glory that is paper-clipped before me. I'll keep you posted. I just wanted to leave you with a few of the affirmations found on page 29.
I, ____________ ____________, am about to find the man I want.
I, ____________ ____________, deserve all the love I am entitled to, and I will find it soon.
I, ____________ ____________, am about to have a wonderful loving relationship with a man who really loves me as much as I love him.
I hope they work for you all as much as they will work for me. Don't you worry...more goodness to come.

I always felt pressure from my grandma, because she would often tell me about these "nice young men" she knew in her ward and thought I should date. Then, while spending Thanksgiving with her after my mission, to my surprise, she said I should wait till I was 25 to get married. And, whether it was her advice or not that influenced it, I did so. But I do have some "great" dating books that I received as well-meaning gifts on occasion (which I never read).
