I had an event in life that made me realize that I was growing up.
I know.
It's taken me awhile.
Nothing had really made me realize what I was getting myself into.
Not graduating from high school.
Or getting a job.
Or moving out.
Or going to college.
Or sending friends off on mission.
Or my little brother getting baptized.
None of those things made me realize that I had grown-up....
Until now.
My good friend Ember is engaged.
And had a beautiful bridal shower.
And i was in attendance at that bridal shower.
Don't get me wrong.
It was fun.
The food was good.
Ember was glowing.
Everything was so precious.
But.
At one point.
I turned to Jules....
And said, "SHE'S. GETTING. MARRIED."
And Julie in all her wisdom turns to me and says, "Chelle. Calm. We'll all be getting married soon."
ummmm......
WHAT?!?!?!
I'm 18.
I could get married now.
I don't even want to think about that.
I'm not even steady dating.
Completely single.
How could I get married?
Bleh.
It's just so sad.
I remember when I was in high school and the extent of my dating questions were who was going to ask me to the dance.
I also remember playing soccer with Ember.
In high school.
Now.
Everything is different.
I'm growing up.
I have to start acting like one...
Easier said than done.
But for now.
I'll just ponder growing up.
And the life decisions on the way.
And maybe someday i'll get there.
Someday.
On the bright side...look at my pretty friends at the shower. :]
Happy end of November.
..chelle..
