*Sirena recently posted a link to our Singletons of 211 community blog http://singletons211.blogspot.com/ that we started back around Senior year of college. That would make it 2003/2004 when we started it. This blog entry is one that I posted post-graduation when we were still keeping up with the blog from our various cities. I sat down and read like oh the ENTIRE archived blog this evening and laughed outloud MANY times. This post was just too funny...talk about PRESSURE to get married/couple up!

Actual convo. with a Baylor Representative
I had this phone converstion this past Sunday afternoon
Baylor rep: "Hi Laura, we're just calling to check in and see how life after college is going."
Me: Great :) Thanks for calling.
Baylor rep: So, are you still in the Austin Area, lets check your address
Me: Ok
- we check address/contact info, then oh so casually thrown in is the following:
Baylor rep: So are you still enjoying teaching?
me: yes, very much so, it's a great job
Baylor rep: Still with Leander ISD?
Me: yes, great district
Baylor rep: Are you still teaching first grade?
Me: I sure am
Baylor rep: So, have you had a chance to get married since you've graduated?
Me: No, I haven't (thinking in my head...wow they must do some sort of statistical average- % ring by spring, % first year after college, % post first year out)
Baylor rep: Aww, bless your heart
Me: stunned silence
Baylor rep: Well laura, we're putting together a directory for all of the recent baylor grads...blah blah blah, coffee table quality directory...blah, blah, only 69.99 if you act today...only twenty dollars more if you want the cd-rom to go with it...blah blah blah
Me: I don't really need a directory, but thanks so much for offering.
Baylor Rep: Well let me give you the number for when you change your mind.
I "copy down" the number
Baylor rep: So Laura, is this your only contact number
Me: yes
Baylor rep: Ok laura, so have you had a chance to get engaged yet?
(ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!!! lol)
Me: No, I sure haven't
Baylor Rep: Oh, bless your heart hon. Well, you have the number
Me: yep, thanks, have a good day
Baylor Rep: you too hon, thanks now, bye.
Me: bye
So...they really must keep tabs...neat...sic 'em bears

Do you still have that number? Maybe you should call her and let her know engaged: check, married: check, bun in the oven: check, Heart's been blessed: check.
lol...I had totally forgotten about that follow up from Baylor. I went told Brian about it and he was like...yeah, I remember when it originally happened and you told me about it b/c you were ticked!
WOW. I've had awkward conversations along those same lines, but that's a new one. Talk about alumni relations... :)
