Weddings

Is it just me or does everyone seem to be getting engaged, married or pregnant lately?! 
(Hopefully in that order) 

Last week I traveled all the way to California to see my best friend Lisal get married. 
She was beautiful, the reception was awesome, and it was all around a lovely wedding. 
In the two and a half days I was home I got to see my family, go to In and Out and play with little savanna (my mentally handicapped dog).
It was a good weekend, and going into it the last feeling I expected to feel was sadness, but as I decorated Lisa and Scott's car, watched their slideshow and spent time with their family sadness is exactly what I felt. 

Things change when you're married no matter how you want to look at it. 
Your husband, and the family you've created together becomes your first responsibility, before friends, before school, before a social life.  
(And it should, in my opinion). 
My best friend Lisa is now a married woman, she's moved on beyond late night jacuzzi's in my backyard, and weekend trips to New York.  She's married.  And I'm not.  And things will never be the same. I am extremely happy for her, but there is alot of sadness involved too. 

This is Lisa's little niece, Claire.  She is the cutest, and playing and holding her makes me want to be a mom asap! 

The Bride and Groom.  

 Didi! 

The car.

I, on the other hand, learned that I am no where close to being ready to get married (give me a few years.)  And when that day does come it will be worth it.  Tomorrow is Nate and my 2 years, by the way!  And I'm very excited.
