I have not updated in a while now! Sad thing is there hasn't been much to talk about until this week! I have been busy with life in general but definitely nothing to blog about! My birthday is coming up...this Sunday, November 23rd I will be 30 years old!!! I cannot believe I am going to be 30 already...it feels like my 20th birthday just passed!
As if that wasn't enough to make me realize how quickly time goes by...the past few days have been a horrible example of it! Growing up (all of my teen years) there was this group of us that were ALWAYS together. We all had quite a few friends but this small group was my life then...we were all best friends! The group consisted of me, my lil bro Shaun, my best friend (to this day) Katy, Tim, Scott, and the brother's, Gary and Donny!!! What's sad to me, is that I've been thinking about these people a LOT lately because somewhere along the lines I've lost touch with the last three that I mentioned, and I have missed them being in my life...I hear about them and things going on every now and then, but we all have completely different lives now, even so I have and always will care a lot about all of them!
Monday evening I got a call from Katy, who informed me that Donny (the youngest of all of us at 25) had been in a horrible car accident and was killed on impact! His funeral was yesterday. It was an extremely hard thing for me to go there and face his brother mostly. I felt guilty about not trying harder to see them before this, I always just assumed they would be there and I would meet up with them eventually when our lives were more in sync with one another...truth is...I lost that chance with Donny and that is really sad to me! Once we were all there, together I felt much better, we grew apart but we all still love each other. We talked a little and exchanged numbers and all I can do now is hope that another 10 years doesn't pass before I talk to them again!
I will be doing my best to stay in touch with them now! It took a dear friend losing his life way too young to make me realize how fast time goes by...don't let the same thing happen to you!

Awwwe, that's sad. It's hard losing people we grew up with. It seems in the last ten years it has happened to me more than I care to mention but here's a recent similar story ...
My nephew got married last June and his wife, ofcourse, wanted her best friends to be involved in her wedding. This one friend she had known since first grade was one of her bridal maids.
The deal between them was you be in my wedding and I'll be in yours.
So the best friend began planning her wedding a couple of months ago. The wedding was planned for May but the girl's brother wouldn't be here in May because he enlisted in the Marines.
Because he is her only sibling and her twin, she decided to marry this month (March) so that he would be here.
The boy was getting up early to work out every morning before his training and one day last week he was gonna go running- he fell down the basement steps and died!
My mom said my nephew's wife is really torn up about it because she has been friends with the bride and her brother since first grade.
It's really sad and what a freak accident!
I guess we should all count our blessings at the end of every day because life really is short.
