when did we grow up?
yesterday i went to charleston for my seventh-to-twelfth-grade best friend's wedding shower. as we went around the room and introduced ourselves, we said how we met the lovely laura westby. i was reminded of band, seventh grade. the new girl, from north dakota, with her dented saxophone and how when the other kids were making fun of her, i wanted to tell them to stop. but, being in seventh grade and having a totally precarious sense of self-worth, i didn't. yet, somehow, we became friends. an unstoppable duo.
and now she's getting MARRIED! to the most wonderful guy. i'm just giddy when i think of how joyful their life will be.
as i drove away yesterday, my eyes filled with tears. tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of nostalgia. it seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for high school graduation. and now we're real-life adults.
i can't wait to see what life holds for my friends and i.
you know how i tell i'm an adult? a few weeks ago, i started drinking my coffee black.
