Happy Birthday to ME

Well, it's my birthday...officially.

I'm not exactly sure what time I was born on the 25th...Mom? I know you'll be reading this eventually; any light on the subject? All I remember was... haha, well I don't "remember" per se, :) That would be pretty weird. Actually, it would probobly be kind of scary. What I mean is that from what older siblings have told me (namely my bro...he was kind of pissed and you'll see why in a second) I was actually born on Thanksgiving. Mom was in the hospital of course so what did the fam do for Thanksgiving dinner you ask??? Well, Dad took them to McDonalds. :)

It's fun to hear my older brother tell that story. lol. He was a little bitter.

Back to the discussion at hand: yes, it's my birthday. I am now 25 and semi-happily unmarried. Not that I'm semi-unmarried. No, last time I checked I was 100% UNmarried. And not that I'm UNhappy either. For the most part I'm a pretty happy camper. I like being single. It's refreshing and fun and...well, all I've known thus far in life. Now I'm sure my older single friends are laughing a little inside as they read this thinking something to the affect of, "What does that youngin' think he's talking about. He doesn't know what it's like to be old and single."

My intent in writing this post isn't to express my feelings of growing into an old single "menace to society."

I'm also sure some of my married friends are reading this thinking, "Dude! Get married already!" (pace, I'm thinking of you my friend.)

Well, it will come in due time and I want the world to know not to worry about me. Yes, I'm now 25 and yes, I'm still single, living in Provo. I do like girls, so you don't have to worry there. And I do want to get married, I'm just not in any sort of rush to get there. There is a time and place for everything.

I think I just might graduate from BYU a single male. Isn't there some sort of honors sash or something I get to wear at graduation for the accomplishment.

You're awesome Yancy, and you're right, you'll get married, and you'll find a great girl because you are a very caring and genuine guy. Happy birthday! Hope you had a good one!

Yancy, your desire to be married should be based on your desire to have sex not to fulfill some social role, but thanks for the long blog post to explain how you disagree with the social "norm". Now when I put it that way, yes I am screaming at you, would you get married already!!

Yancy said...

thanks for your insight Pace.
-words of wisdom from a married friend.

Yancy said...

haha...yes: Joy, any comments?

Kylee said...

yancy you won't get married until you're ready to settle down and stop being such a flirt...ha ha but when you do some girl will be real blessed to have you as her husband.

Happy late birthday from someone a little older and a little wiser(hopefully??)

Yancy,
Forgive me for not wishing you a happy birthday when we talked on the phone last night. I hope it was a happy one. For the record, my desire to be genuinely happy is much larger than my desire to have sex, which is why I'm not married. My mom recently told me that it was my turn to have kids (since my sister who is 1 year older is on #4) and I told her that I could fulfill her wishes in that regard, but that she might want me to get married first. Be careful what you wish for, eh?
I'm glad that as I'm getting older I'm still in good company.
And one question before I go. What kid complains about eating McDonalds. Ever. What kind of brother do you have!?

Viva el I.H.O.M.!

I was hoping Joy would respond...

LOL, just don't let Shawna give you the ol' "menace to society" speech :P Oh, and I sure hope Pace was kidding about the desire to be married being based on how badly you want to have sex! Then again, I guess in our religion that is a pretty decent perk...

As the girl who finally ended your single streak, I'd like to comment on this post.

1) Apparently we both wanted to get married a lot.

2) I hope you aren't ready to stop being a flirt with me. It's worth your while.

3) I can't believe I've blown my chance to hear Shawna's "menace to society" speech

Any new perspectives now that you're married?
