... Three years later...
Visiting
Lynsae's new house is making me so excited to move into mine... I'm getting more ideas for decorating, and it just makes me want to get started on it. Her place is so cute--it definitely has her personal touch on it. There's no way you could possibly mistake it for anyone else's house. :o) It makes me want to run to
Ikea now and buy everything that my house is going to need. Soon enough... I'll get my chance. I'll probably try to buy things over the next couple of months, so it's not all at the same time. Yay for multiple Ikea shopping trips!
It was so great to see her, though. I missed her a lot. It was just a fun, relaxing weekend. Staying up late, sleeping in late, hanging out with Lyns, Lindsey, and Jereme, watching Lyns play ringette, hanging out at the house, making breakfast, watching movies. I miss living with her sometimes. We have one of those friendships that we can just pick up, no matter how long it's been since we last saw each other. Granted, we had to spend a couple of hours filling each other in on the past couple of months, but it was like there wasn't that much time in between.
Sometimes, I think it's funny how life goes. Lynsae and Jereme started dating the same day that Brian and I did. Our lives have gone in such different directions since then. They've been working all that stuff out for the past almost 3 years, and we haven't been together for the past 2 years. It's interesting. We all went into it with different expectations, pasts, issues, excitements, and fears, and we've all come this far changed in a lot of ways. They're not at all what any of us expected them to be, though, when we started dating on Feb 13, 2000. Weird... it's so strange to think of.
We were so young. In some ways, we still are. But in other ways, we've grown up so much since then. Dave and I were looking at pictures from our first year in dorms the other day, and it's weird how much people have changed since then, and how young we looked. I mean, I can't believe it's been 2 years since Lyns and I were sharing a bedroom. It doesn't feel like it, in so many ways. Sometimes, it feels so much longer; sometimes so much shorter.
Life changes. Everyone knows that. The interesting thing to watch is how and where we end up, and how the journey has gone when we look back on it.
One year ago today: What a week. I spent every spare minute when I wasn't in class, rehearsal, or at work, in bed. And finally it's paid off. :o) It feels like it was almost a week off school, though, because even though I was there every day, I was really only in classes on Monday. Two midterms, one missed midterm, two performances, and several rehearsals later, the week doesn't even seem like it was there. It just kind of faded into nothingness.
