Wow, this journal thing is harder than it looks. :-) I have lots of things I want to say, but I just never seem to have time to sit down and pour them out in this format. Last weekend was fantastic - Thanksgiving is a great weekend in my family, lots of people around and lots of good food to eat. :-) Unfortunately I had to work several shifts, but money is good too. My family has always been so essential to my understanding of who I am, so spending time with them is always so special for me, especially now, when I don’t get to see them as much as I used to as we all get busier and spread further apart. My cousins and “little” (taller than me! actually, now that I think about it, they’re *all* taller than me!!!) sister are growing up so fast. My sister is in her first year of university this year, which is really hard for me to deal with.
I went to a wedding last weekend - one of my oldest and dearest friends married the girl of his dreams in one of the most beautiful ceremonies I’ve ever seen. And, while I’m unbelievably happy for them, I’m having some trouble accepting that *we* are the grownups now. I’m at such a different point in my life now that I can’t even fathom taking that step (ignoring for the moment the fact that there’s no guy in the picture - don’t bother me with details! :-) but Dave is only a year older than me, and he’s a husband now! I still consider myself a kid, but it is becoming more and more painfully clear to me that I’m not! :-)
I guess that's all I have to say for now - not a very interesting journal entry, I admit, but I didn't really have much to say or much time to say it. Hopefully the next few will be more interesting, and more frequent. :-)
