Blast From the Past

14 Nov

Alright, so we just got home from the wedding reception, which overall was a good experience. I’m glad I went, and here are a few highlights from the evening…

We walk in and who do I immediately come face-to-face with, but my ex-boyfriend, scratch that first serious boyfriend ever. Ummm…super awkward. I think our entire interaction went something like this -

me – “hi”

him – “hi”

me – “how are you?”

him – “Good”

So you know overall, the way you want every conversation with an ex-boyfriend to go. Well, at least I looked hot while having said conversation! :0)

Michelle came, and brought the kids. Kelsey and I spent the majority of the evening dancing together, which was a blast. But also a little awkward because she kept on picking places to dance in front of the mentioned ex-boyfriend and another high school friend, who sorta always had a crush on me. I just smiled, ignored them, and we bopped around the dance floor.

(Although, it did occur to me that some of those people I haven’t seen in years may have thought Kelsey was mine…oh well!)

At the end of the evening, I went to say hello to a few of the people I was fairly close with in high school but haven’t really kept in contact with since. And it was good, it was nice to say hi despite the initial awkwardness of it. Interestingly, most of us are all living here in town. Small world.

During that time, the bride, my high school best friend, came over to catch up. It was really good to talk to her and catch up. We haven’t really talked aside from Facebook and there were some not so friendly exchanges that took place. But whatever animosity there had been was totally-gone tonight. It was just nice to be there for an old friend, and hear that life is going well for her and wish her congratulations.

So, I guess that’s that. Now, I’m off to go find a little late-night snack!

Lost Blog

1 Jan

I was doing a little browsing through some unfinished blogs and found this quote I’d written down without any notes about where it came from or who said it, I don’t remember why I decided to save it but I did, a few poingant words about love and marriage…

“I want to represent my generation now, and I want to make a toast…(raises glass)
To the institution of marriage.
It is an institution created and ordained by God and it is the best institution there is.
I wake up every morning in an empty bed,
and I thank God for the wonderful companion he gave me for 60 years.
And that is what I wish for you.”
