After work tonight I had dinner and grabbed a few drinks with an old girlfriend of mine I haven't seen in over a year. Katie and I grew up being best friends ever since pre school and then we kind of grew apart in high school and have still been in contact, but don't get to hang out very often. Everytime I'm with her though it's like we've been friends forever! We have such a good time. She's heading out to New York for an internship for 3 weeks and then when she is done with school she plans on moving out there to work in the fashion industry! At least now I'll have a reason to head out to NY for a vacation, and I'll be able to have her to stay with! We remenised on how crazy we were back in Junior high and some of the fun times we had. It's funny to see where we were and who we've turned out to be, we actually both lead pretty similar lives right now. We exchanged some stories of recent dating catastrophies and recent heart breaks and how we both are just living life one day at a time. It made me realize how much I really do enjoy my life right now and don't think I'd change a minute of any day! Even though I complain and I live in a world of happy couple/wedding bliss 24/7, I like where my life is right now. I'm single, independent and I actually love it! I can be selfish right now and I know that life won't always be like this, going places and doing things when I want to and at the drop of a hat. It's an adventure, and I love it (even when I'm complaining), haha! I think if my life hadn't turned out exactly where it is right now, there are so many experiences that I would have missed out on. I know it's a weird thing to say, but I actually am glad that I've dated the people I have and had my heart broken the way I have, and went on some lousy dates recently, because with out those experiences, I wouldn't be who I am or really felt like I've been experiencing life to it's fullest.....crazy talk? Maybe? But I do know I'll never get a re-do of this chapter of my life. This post is probably boring everyone, but it was a great night of realization, so I thought I'd share!
I am supposed to go to a wedding this weekend in St. Cloud, and my date that I had lined up just bailed on me for Saturday...so now it's operation find a date for the wedding, because I don't really know too many people at the wedding besides my friend Jackie and her husband, who are in the wedding party, so I'll never see them! I guess if all else fails....I can always drag my sister along! She always makes a great date :)
