Seems like I was waiting and waiting and waiting to get engaged, but really what is the rush! I should have been enjoying the time with Brian. So I am trying to do that now!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210098462417950977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-24125009546517754772012-05-31T18:57:30.504-07:002012-05-31T18:57:30.504-07:00Awesome post, Sass!

But then you get x, and you want the next thing. I figured out a couple of years ago that I am responsible for my happiness. I can still pine for things (like a great boyfriend), but I should be mostly happy with the life i am leading, otherwise I need to make some changes.<br /><br />It has always been apparent to me how happy you & the man friend make each other. Which is why I was so excited when you got engaged because it's nice to see 2 awesome people end up together and solidify that commitment with the vows of marriage. I can see how being engaged does change things (for the better). There is just something thrilling about an engagement (well, at least in my mind, I wouldn't know obviously!).Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-16627119011453994962012-05-31T17:47:55.984-07:002012-05-31T17:47:55.984-07:00This echoes a lot of the thoughts I had while writ...This echoes a lot of the thoughts I had while writing the "Grass is always greener" (except that usually, it's not ;) ) post last week. While waiting for that "perfect" something - adventure, open door, job, life, apartment, etc - we find ourselves totally ignoring what great things are right in front of us, part of every day life. <br /><br />I think in most cases, when your personality has that drive to explore but the tendency to stay in a comfort zone, you have to find what joys there are in what you DO have (usually/hopefully that list is long), and embracing it. <br /><br />Yoga helps me do this, too, and its amazing to look back and see the shift in my mindset since I really started taking that practice "seriously". I also think writing things down regularly, reading & doing things that make you happy and invoke thought, and being around people who bring out the best in you, are all essential, too. <br /><br />Love this post.Heather @ Dietitian on the Runhttp://dietitianontherun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-6434742183673557862012-05-31T12:51:55.050-07:002012-05-31T12:51:55.050-07:00I love this post. I typically have the "oh wo...I love this post. I typically have the "oh woe is my I am single and alone and looks like I always will be, " but then I remind myself of how great I have it. I've achieved many of the things I've set out to do thus far. Like that Dr Seuss book says, I have a brain in my head and feet and my shoes and can go in whatever direction I choose (or however that part goes). I often think the same thing like "oh, if I were married" or "if I were a bit skinnier" or "if I ran faster" and so on and so forth, things would be "perfect." But, I've got a pretty great life, good family, in medical school, a hobby I love, good friends, my health - just because I don't have one thing (husband) doesn't mean my life isn't great, or so I hope!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-64700748550760317572012-05-31T12:23:48.579-07:002012-05-31T12:23:48.579-07:00I think you are right about right now being where ...I think you are right about right now being where you are supposed to be. I mean, if you are happy in the moment, why strive for the next best thing!? However, now that you are engaged, you can enjoy being engaged for a little while instead of only focusing on being married. Or not. I am not exactly sure how it works, but I know as a runner, and that's just like love right ;), sometimes we tend to keep trying to DO MORE, instead of enjoying the success we are experiencing right now!Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-79305905864611660232012-05-31T11:13:37.532-07:002012-05-31T11:13:37.532-07:00Love this!

I definitely know what you mean...Such a great post. I definitely know what you mean about being engaged feeling different. You just feel... different as a couple. It's hard to explain but it's more something you feel. For the longest time I was also just ready to be ENGAGED to Eric and now after 15 months of being engaged and planning I'm SO ready to be married to him and be his partner in life. <br /><br />BUT, on the other side of your post, I think your so right that another person cannot be relied on to make our lives "perfect" or "happy". We have to make ourselves happy and I really believe that unless we're happy with ourselves that another person will never make us completely, 100% happy! <br /><br />I don't want to bug you because I know how annoying it can be but I'm anxious to hear more about your wedding plans :) :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-11875073055807435662012-05-31T08:44:29.714-07:002012-05-31T08:44:29.714-07:00Great post Lauren!

Now that we are happily married, people keep asking when we are having kids. And do you know what? I am okay to wait for that time to come because right now we are living our lives, enjoying our time together and doing things we love.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208084906252104079noreply@blogger.com
