I was talking with a good friend yesterday who told me that she is going to be attending 5 weddings this year. FIVE! That's crazy. "There must be something in the water," I told her. I don't get it...I am so not ready for marriage. My best friend L got engaged like two weeks ago. Her engagement ring is her birthstone, not a diamond. I'd want the cliche diamond ring BUT I don't want to get married until I'm 30 just to defy societal norms. I know, I'm full of contradictions.
Even my lil brother wondered why I wasn't married. This morning as I was taking my brother to school, he said the most outrageous thing.
"Why aren't you married?"
"I am too young."
"No you're not, you're 24."
"Maybe in 6 years when I'm 30."
"No, 2 years."
"8 years."
"No."
"Then why don't you get a boyfriend?"
I have a feeling he's been overhearing my mom talking about me to someone, because that totally sounds like a question my mom would say. *sigh* Aren't 'lil kids funny sometimes?

M- You betcha, I'm gonna do just that.
Emily- He's 8, almost 9, and definitely speaks his mind. My younger brother has a serious gf so maybe that's why he cares. Who knows! I do agree with you though--I have to do what makes me happy. :)
