Another One Bites the Dust...


I invoke the famous words of this rock legend to inform you that I'm once again as officially single as I have ever been. If I were more tech-savvy I would have imposed a jagged line down the middle of this prom-pose picture to separate us.
I know, (sigh), you are all sad. But it went well and needed to be done. And I should know, I'M the dating expert of this family, after all. 14 years and running...
It was kind of sad because Jeremy is what we call "quality," but you just shouldn't have to work that hard to try to like someone, speaking for both of us. Unfortunately what looks good on paper doesn't always transfer to real life. I think Jeremy had everything that was on the list I made in Young Women's...a lengthy scroll of requirements! Oh, except the all-crucial "in love with me" part.
So, rather than mourning another good try that didn't pan out, I'm giving you (and maybe this will help Jeff, too)...drum roll...

TOP 5 REASONS TO STAY SINGLE:
1) There's plenty of room on the couch.
2) You don't have to answer the constant question: "So, how's it going with you guys?"
3) You can be a lot more productive with all this extra time on your hands.
4) Hanging out at home in your pajamas is a-ok because he won't be stopping by.
5) You can plan fun things that you want to do and invite people you like to come, rather than being at the mercy of someone else's plans and social circle.

So, I was going for 10 but had to change to 5 because, obviously, Singledom is just ok, not fantastic. But, on with the "Year of the Good Life" anyhow! Randa, Jeff, Rock ON!

I love you guys, you make me laugh! Great attitudes. Well bummer but I wasn't attatched. I just know Mr. or DR. or MS.Right(for jeff) is here somewhere. Maybe they are here in Gilbert, hmmm why don't you all come and see? Even if they aren't we have 8 kids that miss you all! And 4 adults

Finally a picture with the Adieu! Well like most of the guys you've dated, you are too good for him (in everyway). I will continue the list-
11. The opportunity to find Mr. Right!
Hope to see you soon! Emma has her music show May 10th but I think you're thinking of the weekend before that. We'll take you whenever we can! Love ya!

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but if it wasn't right, it wasn't right. That's all that matters.
I love you!
