So I had surgery this past week on my ankle which has left me with a lot of down time.
Life has been in one word- draining.
yes, it's been fun. yes, it's been crazy. But that one word really sums it up.
As many of you know, things are a little crazy here in the Hansen household right now. My mom has been sick for about a year, my dad has recently had a fairly serious knee surgery, and I had surgery last week. We're a pretty pitiful group wanderin' around these here parts.
But in my down time, I've been doing a lot of family history, reading, thinking, and of course watching a lot of TV. Here are some of my thoughts.
*Love has almost nothing to do with marriage.
I think if one variable can sum up how great a marriage will be, it's commitment. I have been head over heels in love with boys who have not been committed to me. I have been somewhat in love with a boy who was very committed to me. Didn't end up with any of them, but I'm pretty sure I would've been much happier with the man that was committed to me.
Hopefully someday I'll find a man who's very committed and very in love with me but still.
I think you can be in love with someone who you would never be happily married to. and I believe love has a lot less to do with marriage than the movies make it to be.
*my english is kinda terrible.
*sweating the small stuff is SO not worth it. you just make everyone else angry.
*Karma is really just the world Paying it 4ward.
*Obedience is easy. disobedience is hard.
I think that's it for now. I have lots more to say. but it will stay in my brain.

Stacey,
I think you are right about love not being like what the movies portray it to be, but I do think marriage has everything to do with love. Now, I'm no expert but I can tell you that as a relationship progresses your love evolves into something much deeper than what a two hour movie can exhibit. Love comes in many forms and in many levels. When two people are fully committed and love each other completely, that is when a relationship will work. You are amazing and I can't wait for you to find someone who is fully committed and completely in love with you. You have a whole lot to look forward to and I can't wait to watch it all happen in the sidelines :) Love you seeester!
I've definitely loved men I KNOW I could never be happy with in a marriage. And I understand mommies being really, really sick- my mom has been for a long time and actually just had a big surgery herself. I love you and hope you heal soon!
