Dang Yo!

If last year was the summer of weddings, then this year is the year of other life changing events. This past summer I think I knew about ten couples that got married. So obviously I have become accustomed to the drill of weddings and all that business. I thought this surge of life changing events was somewhat over. But no!

In the past couple of months of catching up with my friends or just randomly talking to my friends, I have noticed that practically everyone is either getting married, having a child, moving in with their significant other, getting engaged, buying a house, moving out of their parents, graduating from university (although I am doing that which makes me feel a little better as I write this) or generally getting on with their lives.

When my mom told that this surge was going to happen in my early twenties I kind of didn't believe her. Boy do I now! She also told me there will be a surge in my thirties when there will be other life changing events such as deaths of the older generations of family members (heaven forbid), divorces, marriages, remarriages, having children, having more children, changing jobs, quitting jobs etc. What a list of things to do!

I guess it'll happen to all of us but in our own time. Just stop with all the changes! It means I'll have to change my email contact lists with new last names and Auntie Ingrid will have to remember small children's birthdays and buy presents and attend baptisms and buy house warming plants and wedding presents and....
