Party Girl

This weekend was strange. It was an eye opener.
DT & I made plans to go to a piano bar with Liz and her beau to celebrate a birthday. It was so fun to crank up the music in my bathroom, try on different outfits, and get ready for a night out! Reminded me of running around the sorority house in search of the perfect earrings to match the shoes your roommate let you borrow. EXCEPT without 100 other girls & closets to chose from. It was just me and my hubby. Dancing and laughing while getting ready. :) What a big difference a couple years makes! There are times Ive missed the busy-ness and fun filled chaos that was my college life in the pi palace, but I must say how happy I am with how my life has turned out (here in the Thompson abode).
So fast forward a few hours and I'm sitting at the piano bar sipping a coke, yes, a coke! Do you see the changes in my life that slapped me in the face this weekend?! Rewind a few years and this girl is definitely not sipping on a coke && sure as heck not sitting down. Try dancing on the bar making eyes with all the wrong boys. Was I trying to fix something in my life or fill some void, or was I just being young? Who knows. So there I was Saturday night, sitting in my chair, right next to my husband, people watching && trying to process how far I've come in life. How far as in.. Growing up. I've come a long way. I don't even know the people in that crowd anymore. And instead of feeling the need to get ablitterated, and get all the attention I could, I enjoyed the music, especially listening to my hubby sing along, the company of my bestfriend, liz, And I really enjoyed my Sunday morning, without a hangover.
I'm happy with where I'm at in life, and okay with where I've been, but Im extremely excited about where WE are headed. I'm ready for nights at home with babies, and my family. People tell us not to have any little ones until we're bored of our 20's lifestyle. I'm not bored of date nights with DT or spur of the moment road trips to watch a ball game, or even deciding to head to the theatre 5 minutes before the movie starts, but I'm ready to trade in the superficial stuff. I want to be surrounded by family and friends that know what's important in life, or that are at least trying to figure it out like I am. && I feel like I was on Saturday night. I have a fabulous hubby and wonderful friends and family that I can enjoy life with. I'm blessed :)
