I turn on the tv and The Sweetest Thing is on. It is one of my ALL time fave movies. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate and amazing together. They keep me laughing the entire movie and I really get into the characters. Probably because I was one of them years ago. The girl with the roommates and the best friends who would do anything to support the other, make each other laugh, dance the night away, help each other make bad but fun decisions. Some days I miss those care free days. No worries, responsibilities, just lived life to the fullest and had fun. It was all about fun. I over committed, got little sleep, was a horrible employee, looked for love in all the wrong palaces, but I had fun.
As I was watching the movie I looked back at my former younger self and smile. Smile that even though I did not realize it at the time, while I was having fun, I became friends with my now husband. That, the fun times we had, and the memories we shared, stayed with us both, as life took us in different directions. We both wanted the same thing all those years ago, but were too stubborn to admit it, so we let the other go. I am so thankful that we had those memories and all that fun, so that when we came back into each others life, we were ready for the other. We learned from our former selves and knew what we wanted in the other. What was meant to be happened, when we let go of the reins and let life happen. In some ways the movie depicts our life (minus he was getting married when I met him) though the turning point for us, was at a friends wedding, but we dated, then went on to find others, then made our way back to each other. That movie not only makes me smile for past memories of my former self and hubby, but of the future ones I have with my husband. I love that we still have fun and laugh. We have been through many stages of life together and apart but the one thing we kept through it all, is our laughter, love for each other and the wanting to have fun. Even though our fun is wayyyyy different than it used to be!
Remember to smile and laugh a lot. Life is wayy more fun that way!
