Accountant In Training

I had a really great time this weekend. I got to spend time with some old friends that I don't get to see real often. In the picture are my two best friends growing up. From birth through high school we were best friends, then when we graduated we went our separate ways. They both moved to Florida, and since then Marcie's come back to Texas and Stacy is splitting her time between Georgia and Russia. So, we still keep up, but needless to say, we don't get to see each other real often. This summer, though, they both got engaged, and since then they and their families have made the trek back to Denton several times for various things. We've thrown a shower for each of them. The second one was this weekend. The best part about that is that then they're here for the whole weekend, and we get to hang out and have fun. This weekend was such fun, it seemed like old times. The first wedding is in just a few weeks. And the second wedding is in January in Georgia. I'm so excited for both of them.

The sad part, however, is that I've gotten spoiled with seeing them and their families, which are like my own, every month or so. After January, the wedding festivities will be over and we'll probably go back to seeing each other only once a year or so. It's sad that that's what happens. I spent every day growing up with them, and now I'm lucky to see them once a year. I guess that's just what happens when different chapters in life come along. We've all made new friends, all fallen in love, and all are doing different things with our lives. I suppose I should be thankful for that, and should be thankful for times like this weekend when we can get together and enjoy each other's company and remember old times.
