One Got Hitched, One Turned 21!

So, as usual when I decide to put a task unto my self, everything goes well for a few days or a few weeks until it inevitably crashes before my face. As it goes, it looks like this week was my crash week. I don't even have an excuse about how busy things are or how much stuff I do every day. I just forgot all about it. The same story goes for my 30 Day Writing Challenge. It'll still be a 30 Day Challenge, its just not going to start on the first of the month. Better late than never!

Three exciting things happened this past week! First, last Saturday two of my friends got married! Adam & Erin are beautiful people and make each other greater by being together. I still feel incredibly blessed to have been included in their amazing day. I was so excited about their wedding, I slept for about 4 hours the night before the wedding. Thank goodness the day was chock full of things to do so I never had the opportunity to crash. I'm not even sure I sat down for more than a few minutes at a time during the reception. My friends & I are what you might call Dancing Fools. Sunday night when I was finally able to lay down for a good night's sleep it was well worth it. As exhausted as was I wouldn't trade it for anything. Their wedding day was definitely one for the books. I've so much loved seeing the pictures Erin's been putting on Facebook of their beautiful honeymoon location!

Sunday, we celebrated my sister's graduation with a party with my dad's family. Lets just say I felt like a zombie 90% of the day & needed about 100x as much coffee as I actually consumed. All-in-all it was a nice day getting to eat some good food and visit with family. 

After I finally recovered from my exciting weekend, it was time to celebrate another one of my best friend's 21st birthday! Amanda happens to be one of my first friends to turn the big twenty one. Even though I've been twenty for a while now, when my friends start hitting 21 it seems to really hit me out of nowhere. I guess I still haven't exactly accepted the fact that we're all growing up and becoming adults, whether we like it or not. Birthdays and end-of-semesters always make me stop and think about how fast time flies. These are some of the things that really make you want to live and enjoy every day as much as you can before they're gone and you're looking back.

Speaking of days gone to soon, if y'all could keep my hometown in your prayers. Tragedy hit us in the middle of the night last night as three young men who were younger than me in high school passed away and two others are in serious condition. Our high school has faced many sad accidents such as this in the past few years, but that doesn't make this any easier. Life lost too soon always hits hard and this has been no exception.
