Back In Session

Ahhh summer break - was it as good for you as it was for me? Wait, what's that? You thought we had just forgotten about the blog, so busy were we with the many small pleasures and annoyances of our everyday lives? PISH POSH! No, sillies, we simply thought we'd take a break from the blog to make up for the fact that as adults we don't get real summer breaks!

Not buying it, huh? Okay FINE. The truth is that we are apparently as bad at keeping up with the blog as I used to be at keeping up with a journal (read: v. v. bad). But we're back now, refreshed and ready to get to the adulthood sharing and sermonizing!

First order of business? Discussing the many adult things we did on our summer breaks! Me, well, I did a couple of things, the most "adult" being that I attended the weddings of two of my very best friends (shout out Meg and Allie!). Adding them to my friends Boris and Anna, this now makes four of my close friends who are hitched. WOAH.

Now, I'll admit, attending weddings isn't really "adult" per se. I mean, what with the "macarena"-ing, cake munching, and general open bar induced shenanigans, you could argue that wedding receptions are actually the opposite of adult.*

So, I'll give it to you, the receptions aren't adult. You know what part is adult? The VOWS. Yes, those things are serious. I'm not religious or sentimental at all and the vows still make me all misty and contemplative. That's a huge commitment wrapped up in those little words. Seriously. SO LARGE. Thinking about making that type of commitment makes me feel...adult. Bet you thought I was gonna say scared, right? Well you're wrong. I totally admire all of my friends that have made that commitment so far and I look forward to them giving me advice when it comes my turn to make the leap...as long as they give the advice BEFORE hitting the open bar.

So...what adult things did you all do this summer? And SERIOUSLY, OMG, HOW EXCITED ARE YOU FOR FOOTBALL?!!!!!!!
