This too shall pass.

Change is inevitable. I've learned that some change can seem wonderful, while other changes prove to be less than desired. Whether I want the difference or no, its going to happen. Lately, I feel as if I've experienced a lot of change. I don't know how well I've dealt with it, but acknowledgment is perhaps a start. Its as if I'm watching a movie I've seen before, and I'm cringing before all of the turmoil ensues. That's no way to watch a film. The ending, good or bad, can't be understood without knowing what happened in the middle. I have a lot of good middles. Then again, most of the events, feelings, and people that stay with me tend to be memories that many would choose to forget.

This weekend, I was able to see a good friend of mine at Sturgis Falls. We walked around for an hour and then proceeded to walk back to the car. Perspiration reaches a certain limit with me, and then I just feel grody. The rest of the day included The Karate Kid complete with Justin Beiber music video (which is what I really wanted, of course) and cruising down University. You know you're from a small town when the highlight of the night is cruising. Still, its nostalgic for me. Being 21 in Cedar Falls at least opened some doors for entertainment.

Sunday was Sarah and Brian's wedding. It was beautiful, and so were they! It was great seeing everyone (Tony too!) together again enjoying each other's company and just having a spectacular time. Weddings always make me appreciative for the people in my life. I don't necessarily think of my own marriage later on, but I think instead of the friends I would want by my side. I've realized how many good people I've surrounded myself with, because of theatre, UNI, and the like. I am the luckiest, truly.

I was finally able to see Toy Story 3 with Abby and Hattie! I loved it, and of course, I cried. I came prepared. Tissues galore. I find that lately, I've grown accustomed to being prepared for the unthinkable things that happen. Don't look at my big purses with that face! I literally carry everything to defeat the inevitable. Band-aids, shoes, tape, umbrellas, extra clothes. You think its unnecessary, but when I trip or do something equally as klutzy/stupid, I'll be ready. So there. Take that, world.
