Best times of our lives

Sometimes I have a hard time not wanting to rush ahead to the next stage in my life. I think we all do this a little bit. When we're kids, we want to be grown up so we can do whatever we want. I was thinking about this last night and had a realization that I need to learn to appreciate where I am because these are some of the best and most free days of my life. I'm on my own, I don't have a family of my own yet, and my decisions are based only on what is best for me. It's liberating. This weekend was a perfect example of being able to do what I want when I want.

Friday I wanted to keep it low-key so I did my yoga class and then stayed in and did some painting and watched baseball. Saturday we played in a grass tournament and won the whole thing! Finally! I went out Saturday night even though I was super tired because this time in my life won't be around forever and I have to make the most of it. I had a great time with friends dancing and celebrating.

And today I had brunch with Rachel and planned a tentative itinerary for our Europe trip before biking down to the Lakeview Art Fair.

So enjoy every moment because time passes too fast.
