The sweetness of summer.

8/11/2014 The Lady 1 Comments

Dearest Readers,

I have had the most wonderful hiatus. I do feel sorry that I have kept you out of the loop for three months, but now I have ever so much to tell you, and I am excited to write about all the wonderful and/or tedious details.

There have been four men who have played a large part in my summer romance, and never in a million years could I have imagined the events of this summer. (Disclaimer: No, I am not engaged, nor am I seriously dating anyone.). This summer has made me feel fresh and reawakened. And I know that men should not be the reason for my happiness, but good heavens, it is difficult not to feel delightful when one is treated with fondness and affection. I hardly know where to start, but I suppose it should be with the beginning of the summer when I foolishly got back on Tinder and met The Englishman.

Gird your loins.

The Lady

The Anti Austens

We are The Anti-Austens, a collective of feisty, young Latter-Day Saints endowed with old-fashioned sensibilities (acquired through our Mormon upbringing and extensive reading of Jane Austen novels) trudging our way through the modern dating scene. Our blog was first created in 2010 and based in the Latter-Day Saint epicenter of marriage: Brigham Young University. Since its creation, the blog has seen many writers come and go, but those of us who remain continue vigilant in our quest for a gentleman happily blessed with our ideal qualities. For a few of us, that quest has led us away from our original hunting ground (BYU) on to hopefully greener--and considerably less overwhelmed--pastures.
