Ashley ended up in the hospital earlier so didn't feel well enough to come to the movie (understandable) and Margaret never picked up. At least Ali and I enjoyed the movie.
The movie was fun, funny, and super colorful. The clothes were outrageous and so was a lot of the plot but I did get a lot out of it.
Some Lessons:
It is so, so, so easy to get caught up in expectations of relationships and to be so paranoid about what is to come once you settle into a routine. Just because it's a routine it does not mean the relationship is boring and the more one thinks that it is, the more it probably ends up being so. But it is good to keep up the "sparkle" and to just let loose.
It is also very easy to look back on the past and fall back onto it. Sometimes your past finds you and then what? be careful and don't play with fire, that's what.
Don't be an idiot and leave your passport somewhere.
Whenever you travel, learn what is appropriate to do there, or you could end up in jail.
Don't assume your partner is doing something horrible. They are also probably more understanding than you give them credit to be.
People can't read your minds.
Any relationship, esp. marriage, is work. Kids are exhausting and it is Ok to freak out sometimes. Good thing there are friends to help.
It is good to have time apart and to find who you are again and just be yourself, come back into it refreshed afterwards.
Dressing up is fun, even if you're not leaving the house. It's nice to feel special, but sometimes it is easy to forget that we are still special even if we don't feel it.
It is SO GOOD to have girlfriends. Jennie, girl, I don't know what I'd do without you. Really. We need to keep each other sane. Great friends.
There are many friends that come and go, some ok, some good, and some great. The great ones I will go out of my way to see and keep in touch with. But, my friendship and relationships with people is my choice. Everybody has different experiences. There are a lot of people I wish I could see and hang out with more, but I only have so much time and energy, and some take more priority than others to me because some have been better friends to me than others. That's just how it is. The great ones let me be myself and I feel comfortable enough to do so. They make me feel good about myself and make me want them to feel good too. Can't be friends with everybody and sometimes just gotta let go.
