So, a couple weekends ago, a friend of mine lost his dad. I mean yeah I am in my mid 20s so I know what death is but up until that moment, it has always been that my friends loose their grandparents. So you can imagine, that it hit close to home for me. I mean I know they(his family) are doing okay now but still, I guess it was a reality check for me that I am growing up. I promise, every year, something happens that makes me realize that I am getting older.
Anyway, in addition, my mom, in preparation for retirement, is looking into selling our home for a smaller place. Yeah, I know, its getting harder for her to maintain the 5 bedroom house that she bought with 3 daughters in mind only to have 2 of us move out for college and the oldest married. So even though I hardly lived in the house, except during my freshman and sophomore summer breaks, it is still emotional for me.
In Addition, this past weekend my younger sister caught the bouquet at a friends wedding that I was in (the first of 3 weddings I am in this year). Now the ritual has always been that we all step out for the toss out of courtesy to the bride especially if she is our friend but I've learned and practiced my matrix move on how well to avoid the bouquet so that I know it does not land in front of me. Okay so I know that I am not quite ready for the settlling down thing but it was cute to watch her excited about catching the bouquet
And finally, one of my girlfriends is done with medical school and she is moving to Alabama... I am happy for her but at the same time, sad to see that she is moving further away from me :(.... Anyway, I guess if I want free medical benefits, I can go on vacation to see her :)
Anyway, yeah, usually it gets to August/September before it hits me that I am getting older. I guess this year, so many things are happening earlier. I am getting older ..........
