I've recently been reading Lauren Weisberger books (the woman who wrote Devil Wears Prada) and it seems to have a few reoccurring themes: young professional women living in New York, unexpected relationship, a major change: job, environment, or life goal, and they all seem to be close to 30 years old. I have really enjoyed the stories I've read (Chasing Harry Winston and Everyone Worth Knowing), but I can't help think that I need to be afraid of turning the big three-oh.
Of course that's 6.5 years away, but it's going to happen.
Another theme in Weisberger's books is promiscuity, which is fun to read about and if I let myself get "too involved", it can be tempting.
Honestly.
I've always believed in waiting for marriage, at least since I was old enough to really believe in anything. Not simply because it's what God expects of me, but because my future husband deserves that.
When I get lost in the world of characters just randomly "hooking up" with guys they meet it is easy to think, "that does sound like fun." Except for the massive hangovers that typically accompany the girls after a night of "hooking up", the crazy spontaneity sounds appealing. And then I remember; I don't really want that. Because the Lord loves me, I know I'm worth more than just one crazy night with some random guy.
I'm worth the commitment.
I'm worth exclusivity.
I'm worth true love.
Everyone deserves that.
I don't know, I'm just really excited to see my husband's face when I tell him with every ounce of honesty and affection that I have my whole heart to give him. I haven't wasted it on some cute boy at bar, or on a drunk decision. That'll be a good moment.

| Time well spent. |
Anyway, Sissy and I just got back from a really great trip to Jersey to spend some time with the grandparents. It was great.
Really great.
Just getting away, no commitments, no packed house of family members, no phone calls, and a little bit of NYC.
Brilliant.
