		<description><![CDATA[Attending a singles ward was never meant to be a permanent lifestyle; the assemblage roster rotates rather rapidly.
I know this, and I&#8217;m reminded of it every year.
Each passing summer, most singles wards experience a little something I like to call the &#8220;fifteen freshmen&#8221; — the reciprocated phraseology should help to illustrated that it&#8217;s not what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Six years ago, I worked for a company that focused on the importance of building lasting business relationships. During my tenure, much of the training revolved around theories similar to Dale Carnegie&#8217;s book, &#8220;How To Win Friends And Influence People&#8221;.
It was not uncommon for my boss to meander throughout the office reminding the staff to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ventured into uncharted territory the other day &#8212; my closet; the keeper of trinkets, nic-knacks and other superfluous treasures.
Known as somewhat of a sentimental pack rat, I&#8217;ve kept a lot of things throughout the course of my 30 years. It&#8217;s fun to look back at items and recall the memories of yesteryear.
However, last week&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Dude, I just can&#8217;t find anyone to go out with.&#8221;
Trying to act sympathetic: &#8220;You live in Utah &#8212; the Mormon Maiden Mecca.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, but&#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;But what? You go to parties, ward and stake activities, institute. There is a plethora of women to meet.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re single, or married; home teaching has got to be the most laborious responsibility in the church. Or, is it?
Contrary to popular belief, home teaching is actually rewarding and a great way to make friends, which is a must in any Mormon singles ward.
Singles wards are cliquish. (Don&#8217;t even think about [...]]]></description>

A line that epitomizes what the city is all about. It&#8217;s no wonder the coined nickname is &#8220;Sin City&#8221;.
When I told my friends my 30th birthday would be celebrated in Vegas, eyebrows raised and questions abound.
&#8220;How do you celebrate your 30th in Vegas when you&#8217;re a Mormon? You do realize we&#8217;re going to [...]]]></description>

Even though in Utah we&#8217;ll all be enjoying a day off work filled with exciting parades and flashy fireworks, there is a deeper meaning behind our celebration. It&#8217;s a time for us to remember our heritage.

Last Tuesday: perfect case in point.
I had more than a laundry list of things to accomplish, which included: working on a new business, fixing my motorcycle, getting packed for a trip, stopping by the doctor&#8217;s office and a date. I also needed to [...]]]></description>
