My oh my. Things have slowly started changing lately, it's weird, good, sad, and happy all at the same time to me. What am I talking about? Just growing up in general and how it affects our day to day lives now. This past weekend was absolutely wonderful, low key and totally different than how it would have been a year ago. We were asleep by 11:30 both nights, didn't have any night time social events to attend, and went to a birthday party for one of my favorite ONE year olds and I went to baby shower for my best friend, Jill and Mary Brooks:)
Things have just started slowing down for us...the wedding showers/parties/weddings/nights out on the town are becoming less frequent and the staying in, Saturday work projects, going to bed early are becoming more common place. I feel conflicted about it to be honest. I've always LOVED being on the go and being BUSY, but obviously being pregnant has affected that some and going out just isn't quite the same as it used to be. I'm okay with that part of it...I think the part that feels weird is knowing that a certain chapter of our lives is kinda closing. I know we will still have social events a plenty in the coming years but most of them will change to baby showers and kids birthday parties. I know these will be SO much fun for us and sweet little Collins, it's just different. I've said it time and time again, I'm not a fan of growing older. Yes, I am SUPER excited about becoming a mom and starting this new chapter in our lives, but part of me knows that at the same time it just means more time is gone by and I am getting old! My mom's best friend told me the other day her 30's and 40's were her favorite time, when she was raising her kids...and I am sure that I will find that to be true, it's not that I don't think that time is going to be amazing, it's just a little sad knowing the non kid days/young adult "social" life time is drawing to an end. And yes, I know you can still do this when you have kids...but it's still not nearly as frequent.
I don't mean to sound sad about this...as I am totally happy about our soon to be new life as parents, it's just a big adjustment. *Duh* Anyways...enough rambling.
Happy Monday!
