"I just like having something to look forward to", I say with a long face. "I feel a little sorry for myself." Sitting next to me at my dining room table where we work, she gave an empathetic, half smile back to me, not really knowing what to say. I chastise Shirey in jest for her upcoming trip to Punta Cana. It's her last Spring Break in college. I should let her enjoy this exciting time without raining on her parade. But I don't. "If one more person asks me what we're doing for Spring Break...What are y'all doing, Whit? Going skiing? No, bitch, I'm not." She chuckles. Being positive, she reminds me that we did have a getaway at...
I cooked my first meal for Andrew a month before we got engaged. Thinking the night I cooked would be the night we were getting engaged, my nails were painted in the perfect shade of pink, "Bubble Bath".

My girlfriends in Charleston who went to Auburn did their best due diligence on Facebook to see which of their guy friends hadn't gotten engaged or married. If you know anything about Auburn University, it's this: you will get towed on campus, and if you reach 21 and don't get "A Ring by Spring", the devastation is massive. Looking on Facebook...
