IJWTS there's nothing like having Bad Movie Night at my house. Tonight I decided to go with an Uwe Boll film. My gosh, it's HORRIBLE.

IJWTS- you'll probably hate the attention from a birthday thread so I won't create one. I hope you see this post anyway and know that I'm thinking about you today. I wish you a happy birthday and pray that it's as wonderful as you are.

Nice, my childhood was indeed awesome I spent time in trees, beside creeks, playing sports, or just rounding up the neighbourhood kids and playing a huge game of 'Kick the Can' or something; just all around being outdoors and active.

I guess I'm gonna go downtown, maybe buy myself a new pair of shoes if I see something I like

Grace and peace be upon you all

IJWTS I am loving this red shellac on my nails so pretty and the lotion they put on is so heavenly they're going to order me some!

I am so excited that I can see the loquat. I love nor askhar so much. I can't wait until the fruit comes out and I get to claim the tree and pick them.

I also love raisins and walnuts together. That was a yummy snack.

I'm back at work, I don't want to be back at work although the discussion on science fiction authors was fun. I'd rather be on holiday again, just chilling with friends.
Church has new people, a lot of them including some interesting new prospects Fingers crossed they aren't 18yo first years starting uni, at least two look older than that.

IJWTS - I think today is another good day to just stay in bed and sleep. and watch movies.

IJWTS that this seems a trifle odd: First boyfriend, late summer 2010, breakup sometime in the Fall; meets and begins showing interest in another guy in the late Fall/Winter, begins dating on Valentine's Day of 2011, becomes engaged on Christmas Day; wedding is set for the end of March. She is 22.

Does this seem a bit strange, or is it just me?


IJWTAdd that I have lots to do and I am not doing them. I'd best get on those things!

Why is it odd? A year should be the minimum I think that people are together before marriage. Whether that is together in friendship/relationship/engagement, just knowing the person well, for at least a year. Personally, I wouldn't want to commit to someone that knew less than 2 years. Made that mistake once. Won't do it again.

doesn't sound strange to me.

It's not so much the fact that they've only been together a year, it's that two years ago, she would never have even heard of the fellow.

I don't want to be a naysayer, but a marriage betwixt a 23 year-old man (who might—I hesitate to say for certain—live outside his income) and a 22 year-old girl just seems a bit young; also, given that they both share the same very flighty "devil-may-care" attitude gives me cause for concern that they really know what it is ahead of them...

Perhaps I'm simply old-fashioned—but I believe we already knew this.

Then again, I am far more than a disinterested party, so I admit to both bias and agenda in my concern.

My brother is 22 and his wife is 20 and they got married when she was 19 and now they are expecting their first child. Age is meaningless, its all about maturity and where (or who) God has led you to.

 

[Socktastic]

It is not something I would be comfortable with, the pace and such, but it's really not that unusual. There may be causes for concern, but they exist within most potential marriages. The level we connect to the individuals involved greatly amplifies such concerns.

They are not that young when it comes to marriage, and your bias would definitely encourage you to view it in a negative light. Which you acknowledge, so all is dandy.

To be fair, you can't refer to one in an adult term and the other in a child term when they are merely a year apart in age. It should either be 23 year-old boy and 22 year-old girl or 23 year-old man and 22 year-old woman.

I think that's beside your point, but I wanted to respond to it.
I don't see anything odd with the pairing. Nothing out of the norm it seems.

Oh and what she said. ^
