Grown

Today I received a call from an old friend I recently spent time with. This past Sunday I met up with him and an other old friend because we are part of one of our mutual friends wedding. During this time we somewhat caught up on what each of us have been up to and also the prime reason for the meeting; choosing the groomsmen attire. The three of us will be groomsmen and our bride to be friend decided that since we are her closest friends, we choose our attire for the day. We discussed many choices but ultimately decided on the genric white shirt, black pants and colored tie. Once we got back to her she didn't seem too pleased. She compared to waiters and being too simple, to which we all agreed. We chose the generic look because it's hard to mess up, as well as the other groomsmen being out of town and trying to save money. In order to have more of the brides and bridesmaids point of view we met up today once again. We only came down to options that will only depend on the availability and price. Though we did not come to a uniform decision we did get options. During dinner we realized that today has been the first time the 5 of us that we're there, had finally met up in at least a year. It's shocking but in a way a good thing to see that each of us have been busy going on with our life. I say shocking because these are the people we grew up with and were so used to seeing all the time. Now we are lucky to even spot each other at Walmart or parties in this small town. I say that in a way it is a good thing that we haven't seen each other in a while because it means we have been long. Each of have taken on responsibilities and have made decisions that don't necessarily allow us much free time. This also means that we have been making a life. Some of us working and saving up for future plans like buying a home, or getting hitched, or school. Some of us have stocked with school and are at the ending terms. Some of us have gone back to school and have had to start all over. With all said we have been living. For our selfs and no one else and I think that's good. I'm not going to lie I miss them dearly but each of us  knows that we are only a text or call away. It was really nice going back down memory lane and enjoying a few laughs. It was nice finding out that each of us is succeeding. It was nice that we are able to come together for something as beautiful as a wedding. It is nice that after so many years we can go back to each other as if time has stood still. Yes, some of us have changed, but not so much to where we aren't the same old people around each other. I had a great time and memories like today are what makes life better.
