Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day. Most single people that you talk to loathe Valentine's Day. Not this single girl! I enjoy watching all the couples celebrate their love for each other. (or...on Maranatha's campus - their "like" for each other, or "close friendship".) Whatever you call it, I don't mind it.

In the past, however, Lisa (my wicked good friend from home who is a PCC grad student) and i used to call February 14th "Celebrate your Singleness" day. we would boast in the fact that we were single...free...STRONG CAPABLE WOMEN! we would strut our independence and fake that we didnt NEED a man, etc. etc. Now, we accept the fact that we are single and i dont know about her, but i am happy that this is where the Lord has me right now. i also enjoy watching things happen all around me. Ashley and Mark are getting married in July. Elisabeth and Pete are dating, and other little "friendships" are popping up all over campus! For instance, if i was dating someone, i may have missed the "pre-artist-series-finishing-touches-before-we-walk-out-the-door" extravaganza this year. i must hand it to the girls though. there was no stressed-out hurry before they left. both girls were very well organized and exited with class. this was a much better experience than the one before the play in december...

anyway. my point with this whole topic is this: for all you single girls out there, don't mope! pick yourself up, smile, and watch life happen!
