Time Flies When . . . . . . .

Over the past two days a few things have come up that remind me how much time has gone by.

1. A Facebook friend from grade school thru high school played a game online called Pop Culture. It's kinda of like Family Feud - you're given a question and you try to match the top answers. Yesterday's question was - Name a state in the USA that starts with a vowel. She scored 100 points and commented Yippee!! I guess that song I memorized in sixth grade will always come in handy. I commented that I still remembered that song too. She responded - Fifty nifty united states!!!! Way back from 1976. WOW! That was a long, long time ago. 33 years!! How is it that I can remember a song from 33 years ago but can't remember where I leave my keys!! By the way - I scored 100 points too!
2. It was Matt's B-day at work yesterday. He's not in finance but I had told him I would bake for his birthday. Muppet issues made it a day let - baked last night! Anyways - a group of us were talking and I asked how old he turned - 24. You know what - that is the age the kids in my first preschool class would be today!! I could have been his preschool teacher and here we are working for the same company. The kids form my Kindergarten class I did my student teaching would be 28 - 29. The one and only Kindergarten class I taught - they would be 26 - 27. Old Old Old!
3. This one doesn't necessarily make me feel old - it just demonstrates how much time has gone by. Today would have been my 21st wedding anniversary! 21 Years!! That is just mind boggling to me. So much has happened - it just seems like it was in whole other life. I was so young back then. I sent Lindsay an IM today - 21 years ago at this time you were not smiling for pictures! She was such a grumpy little flower girl - No smile - finger in the mouth - but she still looked cute! Here's an interesting side note - Alan is now married to Randi who was the guest book attendant at our wedding! I tell ya - sometimes I feel like we could be on Jerry Springer! Remember - Randi is the little sister of Gerri who was my best friend and is married to Chris - Alan's older brother!! In case you're wondering - I don't remember this date for any nostalgic or still in love with Alan kind of reason - it's because my sisters wedding anniversary is exactly 7 days after mine! She will be celebrating 26 years!
