so one of my very best friends got married this past weekend. i decided that because i rarely see her (since she moved 3000 miles away a few years ago) that i would sleep over @ the hotel the night before with our other friends and really spend some great time with her before the big day. i am so glad that i did. i love her and always end up laughing my ass off when i am with her.
after the rehearsal dinner, i said goodbye to ad and we were off to the south side for some late night adult beverages and girls nite fun! what i realized throughout the evening was just how old i have gotten in the past few years. at first, i felt a tad uncomfortable in these bars and nightclubs, college kids everywhere, dressed like they were being filmed for a "jersey shore" episode and dancing as ridiculously as i did @ SRU years back. then i starting really thinking about how little i miss those times.
don't get me wrong-do i miss those people? yes. do i miss the wild & crazy nights out on the town feeling carefree and young & on top of the world? sometimes. but when i really think about what i have gained in giving up that lifestyle, i think about how lucky i am. i have the best things in the world surrounding me every single day and i wouldn't trade my life now for anything on earth.
when talking to my friend about life after the "big day," i told her how thankful i was to have found such a guy, and i truly believe she has also met her 100% match in every way. she is marrying someone that compliments her in every way a person should be complimented and he adores her, what's more. i am so excited for her & i know the rest of her life will be better simply because he is in it. she deserves him & the love he gives her.
this weekend made me so thankful in so many ways. i am a lucky girl. there is no doubt about it!
