I realized something recently when I had the choice of choosing between a date and spending time with my friends -- I am very happy being single. Needless to say, I chose my friends.
This subject has been one of ongoing internal contention for me as I watch on the sidelines while my childhood friends get married and have children. However, since moving away from South Dakota three years ago, I will admit the need to "settle down" has drastically subsided. Obviously, the fact that I spend the majority of my time with those who are also in my single boat has helped alleviate my need to mate for life, but as I begin the countdown to the big 3-0 (13 months - yikes!), I wonder, am I too comfortable with my singleness?
On another completely unrelated note, I am headed to Jackson tomorrow to spend a few days with Grace and I couldn't be more excited! It's going to be a bit of a mini-adventure as I will be staying in a camper at Grace's yurt park, where it has been in the 30s and 40s at night. For a girl who has been living in dresses the past three months, the time there will be a big wake-up call to the fact that fall is right around the corner. Today's weather is actually an appropriate segue as it has yet to hit 70 and has been cloudy and rainy all day. Regardless of the weather, I am looking forward to the trip and having the opportunity to spend time with my best friend.
