I'm almost 24 years old and I haven't met the one yet. I wanted to be married by 25 and start a family by 30 years old, I don't see that happening the way I wanted it to. I know I still have another whole year. My brother is already married and has two kids, he is a year younger. I love the fact I have a niece and nephew,but it isn't the same.
I know I have standards,but why shouldn't I. I want a sweet, charming, funny, intellectual, loves his family, has God number 1 in his life, enjoys the simple things in life, wants a family, is not afraid to shed a tear, romantic, and a lot of other things. I just have this in vision of the guy who I will marry,but am I asking for to much.
I have my whole wedding planned out even though I don't act like the girl who would. I want the white dress with the detail, the beautiful bouquet, the flowers on the floor, the bridesmaid dresses that are stunning, and the tuxes that fit perfectly. Not to mention the beautiful table cloths, the exquisite center pieces, the elegant wedding invitations, and the beautiful wedding favors. I want that romantic dance with the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
I guess I don't take this whole marriage thing lightly. I love the idea of Happily Every After and the idea of becoming one. The special union that God created and let no man come between. I'm just not going to settle to get married and I shouldn't have to.
The reason for not dating so much is because why put your heart on the line when you will be heart broken. I know you have to date to find that guy, your soul mate. I don't want to date a guy I know I'm not attracted to or know in my heart that I won't have anything in common. I don't want to waste my time with the person when I can miss the opportunity to meet my soul mate. I'm a hopeless romantic and I wear my heart on my sleeve.
So Mr. Right are you out there.?.
Here is how romantic I am that I already have my first dance narrowed down to three choices.
1st choice
2nd Choice
3rd Choice

Poetry
A poem I wrote when I was 15 to my future husband when I took the vow of purity. I can tell you on this day that I have kept and keeping that promise until my wedding night.
I made a promise to a shadow.
I carry this promise for all tomorrows.
A promise so true and no one could ever borrow.
I made a promise to a shadow.
Eight years ago that is when I took that vow.
To keep my self pure, not let it become a dirty towel.
I made a promise to a shadow.
A ring is the only outward appearance of this promise.
I wear it so I won't give up my vow to a compromise.
A measly little gold ring with a cross worn were my wedding band will someday be.
I made a promise to a shadow.
I will never let someone untie my Innocent heart.
To never let someone random have this present I brought.
You are the only one who will untie this vow because your love will seal the deal.
Until that day I see your face, your a shadow that I made this promise to.

Careers&Jobs
Since I'm going to school full time, I have decided just to be a nanny/babysitter while in school. It will be a lot easier for me then working a 9 to 5 job. I found 3 companies that you can set up your profile and submit apps. for jobs. The jobs pay anywhere between $5-$15 a hour so not to bad. I'll bring home about $200 a week or more.
I also decided to get my associates in Early Childhood Education and I decided to do that when I took these classes. Schools out here require you to have either 2 years experience or your associates in Early Childhood Education to work in pre-k. They make between $9-$13 a hour and that doesn't sound to shabby. I would love to have the summer off and holidays so this a good fit. I will also be still atteneding classes to major in Marketing. I will eventually use that if I get bored of teaching. It is always nice to have a back up plan the way the economy is now of days.
I'll be moving in a few weeks and I'm so excited.

We got the news today that we got the apartment in Mooresville,NC. I'll be moving out of Statesville to the new apartment on March 3rd. I'm so excited because we got the apartment we wanted. I love that we are going to have deck that we can sit out and enjoy. We will be on the second floor. It will be great.
We will be living at the carriage club. You can see the floor plan at this website.
http://www.carriageclubapts.com and click on the 2/2 plan. You will then need to click on floor plans. Wait for the window to pop up and click on over on the arrow to the Breckenbridge. I love my bathroom with the huge counter space with the sink.
I just wanted to share my exciting news.

Flying home for Grandpa's Funeral
I got a call last Monday that my grandpa died so my cousins and I had to find a flight. This would be my first flight without someone with me. My second flight total in my life. The third one would be back home to NC.
I left Tuesday morning from Charlotte to Chicago and that flight was miserable. This lady had all her seat and half my seat too. It was really hot where I was sitting and she didn't make it any better. The second flight was better just hit some ice under the plane wing,but all was fine.
I went straight from the flight to the funeral home. I spent almost all night there except for a hour. I went to spend some time with my niece and nephew. When I was out the funeral home I saw a lot of people who I haven't seen in forever. The death of my grandpa didn't hit me until I saw him laying in the casket. It wasn't what I was expecting. I mean I knew he was gone,but I was some how hoping it was a dream.
The next day was the funeral. I got a flower from the grave site and went to my cousin's for a lunch. I just kept looking back while walking away from the grave site where his casket was sitting. I kept thinking if I look back this one last time it won't be there and this all will be a dream.
My aunt and uncle came over Friday and we went through pictures. I got a few pictures of me when I was younger and took them home. I left Saturday morning. The flights were fine and I miss everyone.
