Right now, it's college and money (or lack thereof) keeping us from getting married. Beyond that, I feel that I'm ready for marriage, as naive as that may sound, but I really do believe it. And I really do believe that she is the one. As far as it actually happening... I'm not sure when yet. Once the opportunity presents itself, I suppose.

We were still talking about getting married. She landed an internship at Disney World. She left for Florida the day before Obama was inaugurated. Three weeks later, she stopped returning my calls. A few days later she did... to break up with me. I later found out she'd met someone she worked with and married him two months later. They have a kid now. When the years passed, and we became halfway civil, she sent me a picture. He looks cute. The kid, that is, not the guy she left me for.
What an interesting contrast, 9 years between both worlds... It makes me wonder about my situation which was similar (I'm 30, had a girlfriend for a while when I was 21, ready to get married, she left me for my ''best'' friend a month after Obama took office, depression for a long time, reborn, etc). I've been dating for 2+ years now and marriage/kids is waaaaay down the ''to do'' list, right after ''dropping dead'' hehe.
It's amazing how we do change a lot over the years, I'm not even remotely the same person I was 9 years ago in any aspect :p
