Ah so many plans we have for our future! I remember when I was in university back at UCI in California, I had a buddy of mine who was dating this dude who was a futures broker living in New York. Back then, hearing her talk about all this adult stuff — investing, trading, etc. — made me feel like it was a world away. Now, it doesn’t look so far away anymore. It’s kind of scary how many years have passed since I graduated high school. I think this year is actually my 10-year high school reunion. I’m not sure if I’m going to go, given that I’ll be big with Baby Bean, or busy with newborn Baby Bean. I’m curious as to where everyone is now (I’ve only kept in touch with about 2 people from high school, if that), but am I that curious as to fly to California? Hm, not sure.

But wow. I can’t believe how much time has passed. I’m married, we’re living in a stable home, we’re pregnant, we both make decent money. When the heck did I grow up? I remember dreaming as a little girl how much I would love to be “twenty-five years old.” I don’t know why that was the magic age for me back then, but look! I’m 27 now! Dang. What the heck.

And these are the best years of my life. How awesome.
