Day 10-Blast from the Past

circa 2007

Tonight I had dinner with my friend Kimberlee Sue. She will be getting married in just a few weeks and we found it rather fascinating how far we have come in the last few years. We met each other in college and have remained friends for all of these years. We survived our crazy phase of going out all night and being typical 20 somethings and now here we are both getting married this year.

Kim and James just bought a house and I got to see it tonight. It was so very cute and you could tell it was a home right away! I know those two will have a very happy life in that house.

It got me to thinking how funny it is that we go through life and one moment we are at the bar being crazy and throwing caution to the wind and the next moment we are grounded in our careers and making life choices. A part of  me misses those days simply because they were fun and carefree, but the other part of me screams "LEIGHA DENE'E DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN TO! YOU'RE GROUNDED"

I am excited to start these next moments in my life. The one's that will include being a wife, a career woman, a mom (someday), a homeowner etc. This time rather than having only my friends to be my partners in crime I will have TJ to be my partner in life. I look at where I have been the good and bad and know that it has all shaped me to be who I am today and helped me on the road to where I am going. 

I have learned that a plan is only good the day you make it, because without fail something is going to change the next day and your plan will have to be altered. I suppose that is what makes life all the more interesting! Believe me if I could map my life on an excel spreadsheet I would, but that would mean I would have to know all the surprises beforehand and that my friends does not sound fun at all!
