I think I officially feel “grown” now since the mail these days frequently includes “Save the Dates”, wedding invitations, and baby announcements (not from relatives, but from high school and college friends). The trend of weddings and births is definitely in full swing. Here is he summary:
2006: 1 wedding, 2 births
2007: 7 weddings (including ours), 2 births
2008: 4 weddings, 1 birth, 2 pregnancies
2009: 1 wedding (already set) and I am sure more to come
It’s pretty much an even split between William’s friends and my friends, yet William is having the hardest time adjusting to us getting older. He will still be saying, “I can’t believe Neil has a kid” at Noah’s high school graduation.
This is so true. This year will be interesting since I have to squeeze in going to 3 weddings, a baby shower, and going to all of my residency interviews! I don’t know how I am going to afford all of this.
I know. The plane tickets, rental cars, hotel rooms, gifts etc… gets very expensive, especially with prices going up!
