dating girl represents the dating super hero in all of us. her powers and her skills know no bounds (see: dating girl and the case of the love 'em and leave 'em bastard cowboy, dating girl and the case of the impervious bachelor, dating girl and the case of the mysterious mid-lifer).
from dating girl we learn that within each of us lies the power to love, to be loved and to vanquish all the foes of true love. (raise arm triumphantly and imagine cape swirling behind you here.)
lest you think that dating girl is nothing more than a fable, a story, a fairy tale to give us all hope, i am happy to report that sarah will be married in a few short weeks. and so we see that the powers of dating girl are real.
the occasion of this happy occasion gave our former relief society presidency the occasion to gather in new york city over the weekend to celebrate. (highly convenient that we have all re-concentrated ourselves on the eastern coast, wouldn't you say?)
it was a typical wild bachelorette weekend. like really wild.
i mean, check out the size of these cookies!
wild, right?
and "mary poppins"?
she flies for crying out loud. totally wild. not to mention that i am pretty sure something is going on between mary and bert (burt?) besides just chimney sweeping. if you know what i mean.
the highlight of the (obviously not wild) weekend, though, was a trip to the manhattan temple.
gathered there with these girls i love so dearly, i was glad to be reminded that my life is full of blessings, that good things do in fact happen to good people even when it seems like they never will, and that there is enough good to go around.
i came home hopeful. a renewed believer.
dating girl would be proud.

So happy for dating girl.
Is there such thing as "Dating Boy?" If he needs a mascot he could be "Dating Dave."
frances love, it was so great to have you here in nyc and to celebrate sarah's movement from a dating girl to "magda". it will happen to each of us. May there be many more (at least three) wild bachelorette parties in our future!
