Something in the water

I wanted to start this as a weekly round-up of events, but they really differ from person to person. And so much happened this week I'll just have to split it up that way. Also, something of note, I'm going to start tagging posts with people as well so that trends will be easier to follow later.

So many people are getting engaged, married, and having babies now. I often randomly see people I used to know on facebook talking about engagements and babies, but I don't really care about them.

The other day my friend texted me that she was engaged to her adoring boyfriend. They have been together for many 2 years now, or just about. And they did the long distance thing for over 7 months. And the few times that I've seen him in person... damn, I wish someone would look at me the way he looks at her. He ADORES her with all his heart. And his heart is so pure of intention and good will, it makes me melt. I am so freaking happy for both of them. It seriously wants to make me cry with joy.

My first kiss's pictures are up from him engagement photo shoot. I've forgotten how handsome he is, and how much better he looks all clean shaven. He's in the Marines, so they did part of the photo shoot in his dress blues, and he's just gorgeous. And his fiance isn't bad looking either. It's been nice to see all these pictures of engagement photo shoots because then I'll know what I like when the time is right.

Another set of my friends are getting married next month. I have to send my RSVP in this week. Tomorrow in fact. I've been carrying it around for two weeks trying to figure out if I should say I'm bringing a guest or not. I don't want to go to the wedding by myself. Not another wedding alone. Although, I might meet some single guy. But then again, it could be all couples all over again. At least I am really good friends with one of the groomsmen and I know he's single. Maybe I'll just mark single. I am so happy for the two of them as well.

And finally, a friend of mine is having a baby. I'm happy for him, because he's happy. But it's just weird. I still think we're young to be having babies right now, but I'm happy for him if he's happy. Speaking of babies, this other girl I know is about to pop any day. My family is close with hers, so YAY! I get to hold a baby soon! That will help put my longings at ease for a while.
