remember that one time, that i woke up really early and got ready for work, and then once i was all ready finished and about to brush my teeth and walk out the door, i remembered that i don't work today.
why is it that we forget the things we forget and remember the things we remember?
like, things that are really important to us, we never forget. & the things that we don't make a priority, seems to slip our minds... i just think its interesting. now, whats a girl to do at 8:00 in the morning all ready for the day...
so last night, we had a softball game, which we won by the way. and after, we decided we wanted to go sit in the hot tub and go swimming. so we did. and when we got in there we saw a guy, he was 26 and he started talking to us. he asked what church we went to, and he had a lot of questions. so i listened to him and wade talk about the church for an hour and a half. it was so neat! i love that wade is never afraid to talk about it & that he is a stinkin genius!
so, i've been reading a lot of status's lately, and when i say lately i mean over the past year about marriage. people complaining about how people are getting married so soon with only dating someone for a short period of time, or how they are getting so young..both of which i seem to fall into the category of. this is what i say to it...whats it to ya? its not your life i'm living..sorry i found someone i loved so much i want to spend the rest of my life with...? i dont get it. also, i'm only 20.5 years old. anyways. i just find it a little annoying when people are so concerned... any thoughts?
hi monte & heidi. miss you guys.
anyways. thats that.
love, karly.

ehh. I think one thing people dont get is that they think we loose all this freedom, and we dont! I mean granted we give up dating other people, which we all know dating was such a blast! But we gain like a million more things!
I've gotten it too. Paul and I lived in different states and he was in the military, we wanted to be together and we are in love so we just did it!
I think its more common for people on the East coast to get married alot older then for us on the west coast. I see no problem in being married young.
Also see no problem in having children young either!...well I mean granted when your 16 thats a little young.
and your right...its no ones business on our life choices, they are made by us.
yet people would rather live with each other then when it doesn't work out pshh who cares. as if it's no big deal. marriage is such a sacred thing and if you know he's the one, then why not get married? though some people do rush into it when there were so many red flags during the dating part. my parents dated AFTER they were married and felt that getting married was so right and they're going 26 years strong!
The only thing I get annoyed of is when people get married young and fast and then get divorced 2 years later and say " well..we just rushed things and we didnt really know this and this" and bla bla. Other than that, who gives a crap. You're happy. I'm happy. :)
Oh Kar, I miss you! I'm coming down to IF soon for dinner, you best come too :)
Oh sweetie, don't let what other people else says get to you. You are beautiful and you have Wade, a great husband, who loves you. The people who are saying these things are probably older than you and just jealous that you're married and they're not.
Be who you are and who our Heavenly Father has called you to be. Don't worry about anything else!

I got married just a few weeks after turning 21! I married my high school sweet heart..the only guy I have ever kissed...12 years later, here we are and I love him more than ever.
The world we live in today is disillusioned when it comes to marriage. Vows are no longer sacred, marriage has lost it's meaning because people can live together and come and go as they please. The divorce rate keeps growing and people are bitter and doubtful when it comes to love....all that being said, I have used this as fuel for my marriage and I can tell that you will do the same. Every time I hear something negative about marriage it makes me want to fight harder for mine! Age doesn't matter, dating duration doesn't matter. What God has brought together let no man separate! xo
I can relate! lol I had people tell me I was too young and I needed to finish school first [non member friends and family here]. What's ironic is those exact people are the ones who are struggling through life themselves and are the ones who are barely happy. It just proves to me that they're all just talk because they're jealous that I found my lover and I'm actually happy with my life and the decisions I make. It feels so good to prove people wrong with their judgements about me :) bwahaha lol ps I agree, we should hang out sometime
I got married just before I turned 23. My twin sister had already been married for three years and was pregnant with her first child at that point. I think as long as you and your partner both fully understand the commitment of marriage and it's the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, why wait until you are older?
The marriage thing made me smile. I met Scott officially in Oct. '05 and started dating Oct 16th. Was engaged the beginning of Feb '06 and married May 13th '06. So I basically had only known him like 7 months when we were married and living together and all that. I think its great because Scott is pretty much a male version of me and it never scared me for a second. I immediately felt so comfortable with him. You can't help if it moves fast. When its right its right and why wait?
I got married at 19! Guess what? After 18 years of marriage, we still love each other :)! And just for the record, I think you two are the cutest darn couple EVER!!!
Getting married at 19 after only having dated (including the engagement) a total of 4 months and 1 day exactly. Even my parents thought I was rushing it - but that's what people forget is that marriage is everything here! Those non-members don't understand eternal marriage - and those members thinking we are getting married too young and "have eternity with each other so why now" my question is why wait?! If you know you two love each other and are going to be married - why wait? If you plan on being Gods together one day - maybe it's time to start practicing, don't you think? I don't know. In my opinion, Marriage is the most important thing here on this Earth - getting married and starting a family - allowing for other spirits to come to Earth and obtain a body and for you to find the ONE person you will spend ALL of eternity with building your own Kingdoms!
Thanks though, Kar. I get so frustrated with people telling me I'm way too young or rushing into things! When it's right, it's right!
