Looking around, some things come as a shock. Last year, I went up to North Carolina to be the best man at my friend Rob's wedding. I have known Rob since Kindergarten! That would be age 4 for me. And by golly, I remember some of those days well. I think I can remember when we first met, but I cannot be certain it was the first time (being so long ago and all, you know). We were inseparable until he moved to NC in 6th grade. But nonetheless, we've kept in touch.

Now he's married. Married! wow.. So is my sister. Freaky. Good for him! So far, things seem to be good for them. Same with my sister. Wow, my baby sister is married! heh.. It's a bit of a shock to me to see all this around me. It makes me wonder what I am waiting for (even though I know the answer to that: someone to do it all with!) I don't think I am in a bad situation at all or anything, but it is just odd to see your best friend you grew up with as a married man, getting ready to start his own family (14 birds and a dog so far!) But at least it was fun to spend some time with him again. That, and to start the new year with a better look on things as well.
