Kevin and me, near midnight on my 27th birthday.27 has been a weird age for me. I think it's close enough to 30 that I'm feeling what can only be described as weirdness as I realize that time is actually passing. My life is actually happening. I'm about to celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary. My younger sister has a dog and is heading up an entire staff of people this summer. My youngest sister is getting married, starting her 2nd year of teaching, and driving the scary highway back and forth from Chicago like it's her job. I've been out of college for 6 years. Out of high school for 10 years for goodness sake! It's not necessarily a bad feeling I'm having. Just weird, like I said.
I was talking to a friend who goes back to middle school today who, at the end of our chat, apologized if he had been "unenlightened" as a high school boy. I told him not to worry and that I regret stuff I said and did in high school and college all the time. (Amy and Kelly, you may remember the time I yelled at you: "Milk is for baby cows! Not for humans!") I could list tons of embarrassing, obnoxious things I did, but I'm not brave enough.
THE POINT is, it's nice to be 27. It's nice to talk to an old friend and realize we are both better, wiser people than we could have been at 18.
And I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to finally live in the same city as you!!! It's going to be an awesome year! Love you!

You know, I'm starting to believe milk really is for baby cows and not for humans... :)
ReplyDeleteAmy - SUPER EXCITED. I hear you might move in next door to Kelly?
ReplyDeleteAnd Kelly, nice. But you've never yelled that at anybody. That's the difference between you and me.
Hey, I think I took that picture! That was a FUN night!!!
