The weekend. So happy it is here. ¬†I haven’t written in about a week because ¬†I haven’t felt I had anything worthwhile to say.
I have been catching up with an old friend of mine that I recently talked to. She lives in the UK, London, where I am originally from.
We first spoke in October of last year. It had been twenty years since we last spoke. Twenty whole years have gone by. We talked about our vacation times in the Caribbean when we where young, free and single girls. Yippee!!
She recently went back to Antigua and saw a few of the guys we used to hang out with. Some are doing well and others not so well. It’s so fun reminiscing. We really had a ball of a time before settling down and having kids.
She now has a 10 year old son and me a 3 year old son and 19 month year old daughter.
Apart from catching up with old friends my newer ones, one in particular, is moving back to the East Coast of the US from Portland, Oregon to New York. Having worked here he is going back home to be closer to his son and extended family. I will miss him terribly.
When I first moved to Oregon from London a group of New Yorker’s, who worked with my husband , had moved to Oregon at the same time. He was one of those people. That was 4 years ago. ¬†A big group of us used to go out and party. This was before the kids came when we used to have a nap before going out at 11 pm and coming home at 4am.
A picture was taken after a boozy, great night out at a club we used to go to almost every Friday night. For the first time, about 3 months ago, I saw a photograph perfectly depicting these times. The ¬†picture included about 15 members of our group of party people. Looking at this picture was amazing because every single member of those people who started out a free and single lovelies are either married, engaged, with child, about to have child, have children or completely left the Oregon altogether. It blows my mind. We all looked so damn happy. It’s ¬†great picture. It was a great time.
After talking with my friend in the UK it brought back so many great memories. I am so happy to have experienced them.
Here’s hoping for future great times and memories.
