More importantly, not good at this whole growing up thing. It happens so fast. I was just reminiscing with a friend about one of my favorite nights in college. Did you know that laundry detergent glows under a blacklight??? Well it does and if you don't mind the mess later, it turns into a lot of fun. I learned this almost 2 years ago... It feels like it was yesterday.
This week I learned of 1 new couple, 3 new engagements (+ a few that will be happening very soon), and 2 new babies that were brought into the world. So exciting for those people and for those of us around them!! Although of course that little green monster decided to make a bit of an appearance as well but what can ya do?
I had a talk with a friend a few weeks ago who said he cannot wait to be done with school and grow up. I looked at him bewildered and questioned why he was in such a hurry? He said he can't wait to have a job and a wife and kids. I began to realize that this was easy for him to say because he has the person he wants to do those things with. I told him I was no where near ready to be settled and for a second I almost believed myself.
For those of us who are still waiting - I mean, trying to be patient, we run into this awkward in between stage. Now, I have never been in a hurry to grow up. I cried when I left preschool, I cried when I left kindergarten, I probably would have continued to do so but I really didn't care for my first grade teacher... but I digress. The point is I never wanted to grow up. When Mom called me her Peter Pan child, it wasn't because I preferred that brand of peanut butter... But now, I see friends getting engaged and married and having kids and I have become a little bit wistful... doesn't help that I am obsessed with all things having to do with weddings. My only guess now is that God is having me wait so I can afford to pay for what is sure to be one of the most amazing weddings ever!
