Changes

Its amazing how life changes when you aren't paying attention. I took our youngest son shoe shopping last week and was amazed that my "baby" was now wearing shoes that I can fit into.lol He got the big feet from my side of the family. And he is almost as tall as me.

I can go forever without seeing these things but every once in awhile I will be like WOOOW. My youngest son is 10. That's amazing to me. He is in 5th grade. And yes I am one of those a-typical moms who says "my baby is getting so big" and other sappy things like that. BUT I know not to say that around him, cause I get the eye roll.lol Instead my hubby has to hear it.

Recently, I was looking at pictures on my friend Liz’s Facebook page (check out her blog here http://elizabethdavisle.blogspot.com/), and I couldn’t believe how much our friends have changed in the time since we first started hanging out.

Below is an old pic of me, my friends Liz & Melissa.

When that pic was taken I was dating Clay living in the city, Melissa was with a jabba the hut look alike who treated her horribly and working at sns, and Liz was I believe on the off again edge of an on again off again relationship with a guy everyone detested, and was living with her parents and kids in the city.

Since then, I cut and dyed my  hair.lol I have started working on a degree, Clay and I have gotten married and am living in St. Charles. I went from being the mom of 1 to the mom of 4. I love my kid’s and the family we have created.

 Liz is now married and has had a baby with her husband and is living in South County with her husband and her 4 kids.  Melissa got rid of Jabba and is now engaged to be married to a friend of ours named Matt.  Now those are the major changes, there have also been minor changes for all 3 of us.  It is almost like we are 3 completely different people. I am so proud of all of us. We are in concrete relationships and doing AMAZING.

Below is a picture of 2 of my favorite guy, Luke and Jeff.  At the time of this pic, I believe they were both single. Since this pic was taken Jeff has had a kid and recently gotten married.  This is something I never would have seen coming. But I could NOT be happier for him.

Luke has dated like most of us some really bad choices. He dated one of my sisters for a short time which was very weird, not because she was my sister, but because their relationship just seemed off. Lol He now has a concrete relationship with our friend Alyssa and an ADORABLE son named David.

We are all MILES from where we were just 3 years ago. But they have all been amazing and awesome changes. I think it is fun to look at old pics and see just how much life can change and how quickly. I look forward to watching my friends and family’s lives evolve.
