I had three best friends growing up. We were always together in elementary, and in jr high and high school we made new friends, but we were still always the 'core four'. We could get together (and still can) after months of not seeing each other, and talk as thought nothing has changed.
Well, the last of the three got married on Saturday. It's just strange that I'm already to the age where all my friends could be married, or getting very close. What is it about the south? Why is it that everyone feels the need to get married right out of college. I know it's not like that in the rest of the country, women graduate, get a job, start a career, THEN get married. I wonder why it's different down here. Why is that thought process, college-marriage-kids, ingrained in us? It makes no sense to me.
So how do you deal with these stupid rules of society? How do you make through countless wedding showers, lingerie showers, bachelorette parties, receptions, bouquet tosses? There are several things you can do, but I've found that Chelsea Handler has all the answers.
Juuuust kidding. I was completely sober at all three two. But seriously, I couldn't be more happy for these girls. All three married totally great guys that treat them like queens, love them, and repect them! So now comes the kids... hopefully not too soon, but I can't wait to have more neices/nephews to spoil and send home. I prefer the aunt role as opposed to wife/mother.

Lol. Chelsea is so wise. I grew up in a very rural area, so most of my friends got married and/or starting having kids right out of high school. I was one of the few that moved out of state and went to college. At first, their life seems kind of peachy, but that doesn’t always last. Now, most of them are all very mommy-ish looking and drive a suburban or something. My life is the total opposite and I like it. I’ve even had one friend admit to me that she should have done what I did, gain some independence before settling down.
