Tonight is one of those nights when you feel distinctly single--Family Dinner night. I'm sure you know what I mean, fellow LDSingletons. Tonight we sat in my brother-in-law and sisters home with my brother and sister-in-law and discussed birth plans which I attempted to drown out with an episode of "Deadliest Catch" which I'd already seen. Twice.
My community could hardly be considered rural. The city here is eighty thousand people and counting. The LDS community here is thriving and is comprised of a student ward and four family wards in addition to some smaller, outlying branches. All in all, not a bad place to be--except that they're all married. I know that can't totally and logically be true but intuitively it feels true. I am a lone woman in the wilderness. And slightly over dramatic.
As I was driving home I thought to myself, it's time to reach out to a larger community. So, I cam home and got on blogger--the Great American Outreach tool. I wanted to remind myself that I'm not alone in my situation, that there are other women in this situation and maybe, by talking about my experiences and struggles, I can connect with them and vice-versa because--let's face it--doing this all alone will never work and married people just don't understand.

Girl...I know exactly what you are talking about. Sometimes we married-folk really are quite rude and even less tactful. First--sorry for being one of those. Second--you aren't alone and I really do remember what it's like to go it alone. You are much more brave than I ever was and am. You really are my hero!!! I'll be in SLC 10-14th of September....maybe we can see each other then?????
