		<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[I&#8217;m here in California working and, when I get the opportunity, enjoying the city. This morning, I awoke early to chat with Keith Stubbs, radio personality with 101.5 The Eagle, and talk about last night&#8217;s Dancing With The Stars performance. But, that&#8217;s not what I want to write about.
Since I was up so early, I [...]]]></description>

Why do we blog? There are a plethora of reasons we could all come up with, but for me&#8230; self improvement.I&#8217;ve notice that through the years, my blog has helped [...]]]></description>

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>

Between soccer practices, band performances and extracurricular activities, parents cheer along the sidelines and lose themselves by living vicariously through their kids.
Even within my family, my parents are extremely supportive of my ventures &#8212; including the worldwide Antarctica blogger&#8217;s competition; my mother thinks [...]]]></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;

I was pulled over for speeding through BYU campus the other day. Seeing those blue-and-red flashing lights in the rear view mirror conjures up one of the most gut-sinking feelings on the planet.
A husky figure got out of his tailgating patrol car, and from my [...]]]></description>

		<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>

Sweet! Not only is my trade-in worth the government&#8217;s $4,500, but the dealership will throw in the car&#8217;s scrap value. That&#8217;s some [...]]]></description>
