Ok… ok… ok…
So, we are not even close to the end of this poll, but I don’t think I can keep this a secret anymore. The suspense is killin’ me.
Do I tell?
(I love how anticlimactic this is really going to be.)
Com’on. Do you really think I would go down to Costa Rica to get engaged? No, I’m not engaged.

I got married in my mid-thirties, so I know all about being single and looking. But the wait, on many levels (some shouldn’t be mentioned here) was well worth it!
I totally agree with you, chiggedy. I married twice; once at the age of 24, and again (to a different man) at the age of 30. I look back and now know that I was way too young emotionally when I married the first time, and I was much more prepared, in all aspects of my life, to accept the responsibilities of being someone’s partner for life.
Like I’ve said before, it’s MUCH better get married for all of the right reasons once, rather than getting married for all the wrong reasons more than once.
wow. the world thinks we’re broken cuz we’re not married, eh?
news flash: it’s ok to be single. and it’s ok to be single over 25, or 30.
most of us are ok with it and living our lives! we know there’s someone out there for us…it’s just all in due time.
i now step off my soapbox and return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
good to catch up again with you, don.
LOL, MamaC. Don would definitely get a laugh out of that.
Well, Brenda. I know one of his cousins is getting there in one more year. So he might pass Jay. Poor guy.
I’m a little sad. I was hoping maybe you were engaged, not that you had to propose on your vacation.
And if you’re worried about getting married (I’m not convinced that you are – even with the disenchanted post) just remember you haven’t passed the age that Jay was when he got married.
And my comment to the thing about going on vacation with someone of the opposite sex…didn’t Debbie go to Hawaii with Donny before they were married. I know the rest of the family was with them, but do we know that Don was alone for his vacation?
So sorry but I have to put this in. Just do what my grandparents did. Get engaged at the Malta Idaho graveyard. That did happen so not kidding! So romantic I know.
A friend of my brothers got engaged at the funeral home, or was it at the old folks home hmmmm I can’t remember.
The comments on holidays ,
if you did decide to go on holiday,prob with a mormon girl,dont you think the parents would trust you both,you both have been brought up mormons and there fore you both have the same views on the right way to act,really i can not see the prob at all,ive been on holiday with men on my own,we both had our own bedrooms,and met up in the morning for brecky.
i know at least 3 people who are mormans ,who have both had babies out of wed lock,and are now married,and very happy,
Awww, c’mon, Don…. don’t be bashful….
Don’t you think it’s about time all of our friends knew the truth?
Don’t mind the silly boy… he’s just being polite.
The truth is, he stole me away from my husband, and we eloped on the sandy white shores of Costa Rica.
Ha!!
YOUR FRIEND IS IN FOR IT KNOWWWWWWWWW,WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
HESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS A DEADDDDDDDDDDD MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Don –
You are a big tease. I love it.
You never fail to make me laugh.
Happy Friday!
Don:
I think people are going a bit silly on your blog about a girl for you..I wish you well in this area.
Also as a person blogging I would never ask someone I DONT know so many personal Q’s. After all do we really know you!
I say have fun on your quest! I was 36 when I got married and had babies (when I was close to 40 and at 40.)Till then, boy did I have fun looking!
This is my “Opinion”
OH my goodness, I did not intend to start anything. I am so sorry. Nothing wrong with traveling with another. I agree I am the last one to judge as I know that I am not perfect at all.
Whats wrong with travelling with someone of the opposite sex? Doesn’t mean they’re staying in the same room does it? Are Mormons not allowed to take a vacation with their girlfriends? (or boyfriends).
So, my only question I would like answered is ” did you get that girls email address” you know the one that have your seat or she had yours. I am telling you bud, you gotta pick up on these things.
Tracey, I am surprised, even a Christian, (because that is all what mormons are), could not travel alone with the opposite sex. And just because you have beliefs doesn’t mean that your are perfect.
Don, I would not be at all shocked in any way, or felt that you were going against your beliefs, if you had travelled with a female companion. I am not saying that you a not a perfect mormon, what I am saying is from a religous view is, “who am I to judge” and “to each their own, just don’t hate me for mine.
Cheers,
Oh wow. I come home from work and choir practice just a few minutes ago to find out YOU’RE NOT engaged. Not surprised. I guess we could put that rumor to rest. I was one of the 52% who were still single.
Of course you wouldn’t go all the way to Costa Rica to get engaged. I knew you weren’t engaged, but you could had. I agree with what Tracey. You wouldn’t do that. You would propose closer to home. And the disenchanted was a give away too unless you were pulling our chain a month ago, but it looks like you weren’t.
But Don. Lots of people get engage on New Year’s. I know a friend of mine got engaged in Florida on New Year’s. Somehow. New Year’s and Valentine’s Day are the biggest days to get engaged. Oh. And maybe your birthday(my friend got engaged on her birthday almost 2 year ago)
Anyway. But poor you. Don. What is up with us being single? I’m in the same boat with you as being single. Barely got anybody and I know no guy is knocking on my door to date me. Their either scared of me or they think I’m ugly. I just don’t know.
Don’t worry, Don. There’s a girl out there for you.
Also. I do remembered you’re having a tirey year last year. So I agree. Costa Rica was a great place to relax and get your mind off of work, bobsledding (sorry, Don) and everything else around you. You definitely deserve a break.
Hey, Don. Are you still going to bed to bed late and getting only 4 or 5 hours of sleep?
Did you take any pictures in Costa Rica?
Oh yeah. What did happened to the countdown clock? You never did answer that question.
Absolutely not!!! I do not believe it would be in your beliefs to travel with a female alone!!! And your parents worked so hard to help you like they would for any of their children in the time of a much needed rest or much needed anything for that matter. Your whole disenchanted post was a give away as well. And I know that you definatley would not go down there and meet someone and get married right then and there. But she is out there somewhere.
OK another note, Shundra asked about the countdown clock and where it was.
No I didn’t think you were engaged, but Costa Rica would be a lovely romantic place to take a girl to propose to…:)
Well, are you at least dating then???
