Overwhelmed

This is Dan and Liz. (Aren't they cute together?) They were both my neighbors when I lived in Merrill.

They've been dating for pretty much as long as I've known them. When they got engaged, I knew like the day after. And today I got an announcement for their wedding at the end of the month. This I can handle, this is the way things are supposed to happen.

Also in the mail today, I got another invitation, to a double Bridal Shower for two of my friends from Merrill and way back to Valley View, Elizabeth and Jennifer. Neither of whom were engaged the last time I talked to them. Ok, so I knew Elizabeth and Ben were getting pretty close, but (Jenni)Fern and I had had many long, detailed conversations of why she couldn't date this guy, so I was rather surprised. It's ok though, I'll get over it. Now I know that they're getting married, and it wasn't a total surprise.

And then, looking at facebook, I saw a name I didn't recognize, until I looked more closely and realized that I did know this girl, she just had a different last name from the last time I saw her. Jessica was in the Relief Society Presidency with me in Merrill. When the school year ended she didn't have an official boyfriend, and now suddenly I've missed the whole engagement process and she's already married.

Sigh, crazy old people. What'd they want to go get married for anyhow?
