It seems like just months ago that I was staying over at my friend Michelle's house having game nights till 3 am on Saturday nights/Sunday mornings. Now, a good friend invites a group of us to go out to dinner, and then offers to have an after party and we all dont want to, we go home at 8:30/9pm.
Man alive!! When did I become an old lady that wants to go home and go to bed at 9pm on a Saturday? This may have something to do with turning 31, being in a Family ward with 9AM church, instead of 1 PM church. It may have something to do with knowing I still needed to come home and plan my lesson, and get a handful of other things done to complete my now two callings.
It was funny sitting around that table at Sheri's with all my old friends from the Singles ward. For a moment it seemed as if nothing had changed, even though until very late in the game I was the only one there that wasn't married. When we started to break apart and leave ( I think at 8, the first couple left) we gave reasons like "We have to go pick up our baby from the baby sitters" or "Its date night" or " We have to prepare our primary lessons" Ultimately a lot of us just said, "I'm tired, and I have 9 o'clock church".
Hey y'all, I don't remember getting older, When did we? Was it the moment that we went from singles wards to family wards? The funny thing is I don't even want to stay up all night playing games and laughing at nothing any more. I WANT to go to sleep. For the first time in my life, yes, I actually want to go to sleep.
