I don't look my age...

Last night at the temple, I complimented the lady sitting next to me on her gorgeous, enormous, wedding ring. She said, "Thank you," and then asked if I was married.

"Nope." I replied, showing her my naked left hand.

She asked if I was getting ready to serve a mission, and I said I had already served.

Then she asked me if I got to take advantage of the new age limit, and I responded that I was almost 22 when I left, and I wasn't sure if I would have been ready at 19.

That's when I realized this woman thought I was in my early twenties. She might have even thought I WAS twenty! Golly, I needed that shot of self-esteem yesterday! Thanks, lady!

Not bad for a girl who's well into her thirties :-)

I would like to thank my parents for looking younger than their ages,
my family and friends for allowing and often encouraging me to act like a crazy kid,
my facial lady for helping me take such good care of my skin,
and Heavenly Father for sending me to the temple last night (it was a beneficial trip in other, probably more important ways, as well), and for everything else I have in this world.

Sometimes looking younger than my age is a curse: it seems that men my age aren't interested in someone who looks like their little sister, and younger men aren't interested in a girl my age.
Sometimes it's a blessing: remember how I played Amy in Little Women last year?

But for better or worse, I am who I am: the girl my friends think of when they see a tiara ;)
