This past weekend, my best friend Lacey got married. Lacey is the only person besides my immediate family that has known me basically my whole life- this fall it will be 21 years since we met in kindergarten at Mt. Pisgah (back when it was K-8). It was crazy! I mean, I have friends that have gotten married... Josh got married last September, but he has been with Jennifer (his wife) basically since we were 16... honestly, we all knew it was going to happen. But Lacey... holy crap! She has always been someone that has wanted to be married, but to actually have her get married was a little surreal. And at the same time, she was so happy, not nervous, and absolutely beautiful. I loved every minute of it!
The whole weekend was amazing! I spent most of last week in Memphis with my Sarah, just being a great temporary roommate/visitor who cleaned up after myself, brought treats, and watched reruns of Friends all day Sunday while we were recovering. I got to see my brother for the first time in almost 9 months, Jerry and Karen, Mr. Bob and Mrs. Donna, Josh, Sarah, Ashley, Becca... so many people. But at the end of the weekend I realized that there just wasn't enough time! Josh's brother Rob didn't get to come because he had some health problems so I didn't get to see him, and except for lunch, I didn't get any time with Mr. Bob and Mrs. Donna! I just couldn't help feeling that even if I had had two weeks with all these people, it still wouldn't be enough!
And of course, all of the wedding festivities of seeing old friends (I even saw people from high school out on Beale Street-first time out downtown- which was a little Twilight Zone-y for me) made me realize that there's never enough time- even with six weeks left in Atlanta, it's not enough!!!!
