Tuesday night was weird for me. My friend Jennifer's father died earlier during the weekend and so I decided to show support by going to the viewing. I met another friend there who is going through some life changing experiences, mainly marital problems. So I was standing there thinking to myself; here's one friend to the left of me who is about to end a marraige and another friend to the right of me whose dead father is laying in a casket in front of me. I know I'm not that old- but I can say that my life is remarkably different than it was 4 years ago or even 1 year ago. And at that moment I felt officially like an adult. It was kind of weird. I had to stop thinking about it when I realized also that my parents will eventually die- and that's a terrifying thing to think about. I love them too much to think they'll someday not be in my life.
Sorry for being so sober... it was just one of those moments I needed to share.

Hey, that was a good post -- you totally opened up there, which you haven't done with me much. I like it when people share deeply personal things about their lives.
And it is weird to have those "adult" moments. I still feel like a kid most of the time, and when I'm in an "adult" moment, I feel very stupid and out-of-place.
I hate growing up. The only thing that keeps me feeling okay about it is knowing and believing in an afterlife.
Hm. What else to say? I think you're great? Yes, yes -- that's it. I think you're great. :)
The feeling is mutual my dear. Very mutual!
Heather!! It makes me so happy to find your working blog, because I keep checking that other thing and that hasn't seen any news in an awfully long time.
Me, too. I also liked this post--a lot. I am scared out of my wits of growing up and I've been pushed into that for a long time. It's still no more fun than it was at 12. I think I like how our Singles Ward lets us stall and be playful a while longer ;o)
Welcome to the blogger friends! Love ya! (We should hang out again some time because you make me laugh!)
