grateful for Carrie

Sitting in the library next to my busy and beautiful wife, I overheard a discussion going between two young women. It's okay to hear other peoples' conversations- it's the no shhh zone. Carrie and I are not trying to eavesdrop. People just don't seem to care. Anyway, one of the things that was said caught my ear, and I had to put down some of my thoughts about it. One girl informed the other, I think about her fiance, "But he's not some Utah Mormon. He did drugs when he was in middle school."

PHEW. I was worried he was one of those mormon kids who didn't do drugs. I am glad he at least did drugs in middle school. WHAT A CATCH. Hold on to this one honey.

I feel bad for her husband. If this is one of her important criterion for marriage I feel she might not be ready for eternal covenants. However, I do not know her. I have only overheard the silliest conversation of my life, and I guess you can't get to know everything about a person from just hearing them talk to a friend. I am quick to judge which is bad.

I used to hate it when people ask me if I ever did drugs before I joined the Church, and then they're sooooo disappointed when I say no. Once I even had a girl say, "That would have been cool, to do all that stuff and then join the Church."

I hate people who just don't get it.
