“I’m not young and vulnerable any more.”

Well I had a very full day, a good way to start off the new year. I began with breakfast with 2 high school friends, Laura and Julia. Laura has recently become engaged making her the second to be contaminated with what must surely be an epidemic that has begun spreading like wildfire throughout the people who touch my life. After being only engaged for two weeks, Laura is already a font of knowledge of love and relationships. She has also already picked out the date and the place, and I'm sure the rest is not far behind. In a curious change of heart, my dear friend Julia has become less desirous to indulge in the same fate. After attending so many weddings over the course of the year she has decided that not only can true love wait, but that it must.
After breakfast with them I had lunch with two other high school friends. It was probably very selfish of me not to combine the two meetings so that everyone could catch up, but I wanted my separate time with them. Eliot, Sarah, Jon and I had lunch at the Elephant Bar. It is probably more enjoyable to eat there now that I don't work there. Sarah is looking remarkable considering the same day Laura got engaged, she was in a terrible car accident leaving her with whiplash, a broken nose, and worse, a broken car! And it was good to see El since he has been in the library all week studying for finals next week.
After lunch it was off to the rehearsal. I did sooooo good at being on time only to find out I was half an hour early!!!! But the rehearsal went well and I am beginning to get so excited for Christin and John. It's going to be beautiful and everything they deserve. It was also fun to goof around with Amy again. We're so bad when we're together! The boyfriends joined us and we went to the rehearsal dinner which was fabulous, and would have been even more fabulous if it were just a tad shorter because I am soooooooooo tired!!!!!! But it means I'll sleep well and be incredibly rested for tomorrow, and I know I'm going to need all my energy for tomorrow!
