I never planned my twenties – like not at all.
I didn’t really think about what I would be doing or how it would feel to be 26 and have a career. Maybe I thought/dreamed about my forties or even fifties and sixties (I get fired up about family reunions when my kids are grown – I know I’m weird. I blame The Family Stone and Dan in Real Life), but twenties are all new. And for this dreamer that’s unheard of.
Mostly this is totally great. Every day is new and exciting. There’s no room for disappointment when you don’t have a plan. Sometimes, though, I stop a second and realize that it’s getting away from me. Like time’s flying by so fast that soon the twenties will be over. People and things are growing up and changing around me at a bazillion nauts/sec. Before I know it, I’ll be sixty with grandkids coming home for the holidays.
It’s not uncommon for the words “How did we get here?” to come from my mouth these days.
My friends are moms. A lot of them are moms of two or three kiddos…
Shouldn’t the bell ring any minute sending us off to 4th period Texas History class with Mrs. Christopherson?
How did we get here?!
I’m not really sure. But I think I love it…
Speaking of friends being moms…Ashlyn is one of my very best friends in the universe’s baby girl. You’ve heard me mention the six chicks (see, we tried to stay in 4th grade as long as we could). Well, Ashlyn’s the first baby to come from these fabulous friends. And, man, has she spoiled us.
Unfortunately for chick kids to come, Ashlyn is happy, easy and ridiculously charming. She smiles 90% of the time and only whimpers if she needs changed or fed. These photos only half capture AK’s perfect little personality.
Lauren and Brice, you’ve done well! I already love Ashlyn like family. Thanks for letting me spend a couple nights in your home…even with a little cold. She’s precious even when I can’t touch her.
Ashlyn, I can’t wait to watch you grow up, little princess. I love you so much already!
Brice's sweet Aunt Jodi loves her some AKH.
