Growing up....
This weekend was busy. On Friday, my son was a groomsman for a good friend's wedding. He seemed so grown up - going to a bachelor party, handling groomsmen tasks.
While at the wedding I realized how my position has changed. I watched a couple dancing (the groom's parents) and thought how cool they were dancing to pop music from the 80s and then I realized they are probably actually close to my age - maybe a bit older - I have now become a parent to an adult - a new rite of passage.
Saturday, we had my son's Eagle Court of Honor. There were dignitaries and such. It was fun and it was serious - my son is an Eagle Scout and I am a mom of an Eagle Scout! Wow! Afterwards my son went to hang out with a friend that in a couple of weeks will be going on his mission for two years! The kids that were laughing and joking in my house are adults now - everyone is growing up.
Sunday, my hubby and my son and I went to go see Princess Bride in a theater. It was fun and because everything was sooo big (compared to a little tv) we saw all kinds of things from the 80s in the background. My hubby and I laughed and talked about all of the things we had or still have from that time.
But while we all may be growing up and moving into a different time of our lives - my hubby and I dressed up in our wedding outfits (since we had a Princess Bride wedding) and laughed and had a great time - so you don't have to get old and boring - but my life is changing and I am moving into a new phase of my life - it feels a bit weird but it is good.
