Lots

I cannot believe it, but one of my oldest friends Allegra is getting married this weekend. Where the hell does the time go? I remember sitting in my apartment in Santa Barbara talking with her about how she had met a guy and he was awesome. That was 8 years ago. I wish them all the best and hope that they will be happy together. At 26 years old, I know that I am not ready to have children at all. So, beyond that, I don't really see a reason to get married right now. I will say that the tax benefits are very tempting especially if you own a home. I think I may be in denial about having all the time in the world to wait and just live together and have fun without the obligation of getting married, and then inevitably, having children. Kevin and I have talked a lot lately about possibly not even having kids. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. I always thought that I wanted to have children one day, and I'm not ruling it out by any means. But, I don't know. I like the idea of traveling whenever I want to, and running off for the weekend, or just going out to dinner without having to plan everything out in advance. I guess I still have loads of time to ponder this. My mom was 38 when she had me, so I will have plenty of time to make a decision. I'm a little bummed that I am not able to get back down to Orange County for the wedding. The tickets are SO expensive, it would be cheaper to go to a foreign country than to Southern California. I will be there in spirit. I guess I need to think about planning a trip back home relatively soon. I would like to visit with my mom in person. And, of course Candice. Well, we'll see what happens.
