Ch, Ch, Ch, Changes...

As I sit and wait to go into labor (15 days and counting), I have been thinking alot lately about old times. Back in high school (almost ten years ago), and even only a few years ago, things were so different. I was putzing around on myspace yesterday and came across a few people who I had forgotten even existed but at one time had been part of some memorable times in my life. The first one I noticed is this guy who basically changed the course of my high school social scene. Basically the story goes, a friend of mine was having a sweet sixteen party. She was a couple years older than me (I was in ninth grade). I didn't have a date, it was a boy girl thing and that was the big deal about the party. So she decided to set me up with her cousin. She gave me a picture (he was very hot!) and my best friend started talking to him on the phone to kind of get us together. I was so shy back then. Well it ended up that the night of her party we had a big snowstorm and he couldn't make it to the party. I was bummed but had fun anyway. My best friend said she would hook us up anyway (in a 1994 sense, not a 2007 sense, meaning get us in the same vicinity). In the meantime she was talking to him on the phone all the time and apparently falling for him herself, which I could sense but didn't fully realize (being only 14). Then one day I went over her house for a sleepover and he came over and we kind of walked around our town and hung out. He and I got along great and apparently he thought I was cute. I even gave him one of my dangly earrings to wear (btw, which I never got back). Then we went back to my best friend's house and hung out in her room with the lights out and the music on. And he and I made out. He was quite the good kisser and I had fun. He then left, and we all went to bed. The next morning I was feeling guilty so I told my friend, and she freaked out. She had her dad drive me home and for weeks afterward we fought. We even went to peer mediation in school because we couldn't stop fighting. Basically after that I was out of the group of friends I had had for a few years. I was never invited to hang out with them anymore and it just went from there. So seeing this guys page on myspace brought back a lot of memories. But I think that if this had never happened, I would never have done the activities I did in high school which led to me meeting my husband. So it's all for the best anyway. It's just interesting to think about. Then there was the boyfriend that I has my senior year. He was two years younger than me and suck a d**kwad. He cheated on me, because I wouldn't sleep with him and basically treated me like crap. But not outwardly, like calling names or anything. Just subtle ways like withholding pda's if I annoyed him in any way. I was very much into journaling back then and I have six or seven notebooks full of the few months I was with him. I almost didn't graduate because I cut so many classes to be with him. Then he posted a blog on his myspace about how he is a changed man and he was just looking for someone to love him. And how he's cheated on every single girlfriend (and two fiancee's) he's had. It makes me very glad to have gotten away from him and found the best man in the world. My hubby, who always makes me feel loved and like the most important thing in the world. I guess I am just transitioning into this next phase of my life, parenthood, and wondering what it's going to be like. I feel I am truly blessed and so happy.
