Reassure me...

Dear, do not worry.

The best advice I ever got was "Don't get married until you're 30."

I am very glad that's how things happened for me. I was 32 when I married (Mr. Adrienne was 31). 2 years later we are both convinced that it was best for us this way. Since we've been around the sun more times it's easier to communicate, even when we're frustrated and the "give and take" seems to come more naturally than it would have if we had gotten married 10 years earlier.

I do understand your feelings tho--I went through the exact same thing several times--in college and after--wondering if I'd ever find a good person to marry, after breaking up w/ someone. As you put it, enjoying the "nonsingleness".

My SILs are 20 yrs my senior and they're telling me constantly that I'm "still a kid".

Well, from one "kid" to another, my advice is this: enjoy your life one day at a time. You don't know what's around the corner, bad or good.
