It's no secret that I want to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. It's not a secret from ANYONE. I complain about boys and "how much they suck" to my family and friends at least ten times a day. But, when nighttime hits and I want someone to curl up on the couch and watch Christmas movies with me, boys stop "sucking," and I want a boyfriend.

My poor mom has heard about every boy I've fallen in love with (even if it was for less than five minutes) and knows how badly I want to get married. She'll tell me, "Laken you have to be patient, God is working on someone just for you."

My sister has also had to deal with my many stories and many complaints of not having a husband. We compare ourselves to Elsa and Anna from "Frozen", her being Elsa, who is very proper and mature. I am obviously Anna, who is very carefree and doesn't require much to be entertained. One of our favorite scenes is when Anna introduces Elsa to Hans; Elsa tells her sister: "You can't marry someone you just met." My sister uses this line on a daily basis with me.

She and her husband met their freshman year of college and have an incredible life together. She reminds me that they are an exception; hardly anyone is going to meet the man they intend on marrying their freshman year of college AND stay together all four years.

God has someone out there for everyone. You just have to be patient and wait until God decides when you should meet.

While this part is excruciating for me, it's something that I know I take for granted. Why would I want a generic, immature boy when God is working hard to help "the one" find his way to me and I to him?

Good things take time and it's important not to rush the process. I've had to learn that things don't work out when you plan a wedding with someone who you've known for only two months and have yet to graduate college. Getting to know someone, falling in love, and deciding whether or not they are the one takes a lot longer.

While I still have my wedding planned and still fall in love with boys who hold the door for me, I know that God wants me to be patient and I'll do my best to remind myself that each and every day.

After all, Anna got her happy ending with Kristoff...even if he does have a pet reindeer and sells ice for a living.
