...my parents were celebrating their twenty fifth wedding anniversary, my sister had her Bat Mitzvah, and I was gearing up to turn 21.
I keep thinking about how much things are changing. I suppose it's the writer in me, always so analytical, pensive, and oh, what's the female version of brooding? That's me. All the time. Is there even such a term? If not, I shall coin one and add it to the JGIWC Glossary. (Now featured on the right sidebar.)
I needed a good laugh last night so I sat on the couch and watched my sister's Bat Mitzvah DVD. I had managed to snag a copy just hours earlier at my family's standard Sunday dinner. It got me to thinking about all of the things that have happened in the past three years. I can't believe that my baby sister will turn 16 in ten days.
And then I looked down at my sorority t-shirt and argyle socks and realized that the more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm still me.
Three years ago, life was good. I thought I had it all figured out. I was wrong. I'm so glad.
Three months from now, I will be another year older and hopefully another year wiser. I have to wonder what life will be like then. I'm young, single, and fabulous. I can't help but smile. It's all happening.
I also can't help but look at the above photo and wonder about when I'll be in that chair again.
God willing.

I definitely thought I had everything figured out three years ago, and now I'm sure about a lot of things and unsure about a lot of things. The unknown is scary, but it's also very exciting at the same time :) Thanks for sharing your "journey" with us so much!
Oh gosh three years ago seems like a lifetime ago. Mr. Newlywed and I had just started dating, and we were having serious issues. I was enjoying sorority life, friends, and a lot of cheap alcohol.
I like the change...the unknown. I do better when my plans get turned upside down.
Three years ago I was in high school, and was an idiot. It is scary in a good way how much I have changed.
I am sure you can expect tons of exciting and wonderful things in the next year(s).
YOU WILL be in that chair.. before you know it.. Hopefully, what happened to me won't happen to you-- most of the boys had left to go watch a game at the bar and I Had about two people struggling to pick me up.. Make sure that you have plenty of men on hand and all tvs off!! xoxoxo
you are still SO young! everything will fall into place for you.
Three years ago I was a junior in high school and starting to look at colleges and now can't believe it's almost over! That is such a great picture, I also tagged you!
