oh my god. my best friend from kindergarten through pretty much 9th grade just friended me on facebook. and she is married. legitimately married. there are pictures of her wedding. we were inseparable from kindergarten through 4th grade when i left to go to ODC, and even then through middle school we were really really close. after about 9th grade we stopped talking, but we basically lived at each other's houses over the summers in elementary school. like, for weeks at a time. i went everywhere with her family and she came everywhere with mine. we never fought and i always had the best times with her. i still have the present she gave to me in 1997--stained glass picture with "Meredith" and "Brittany" and "best friends forever" and it always makes me think of all the times we spent at busch gardens or at her pool or at the mall with her family or taking swim lessons or hanging with Amanda and her brother Jojo. I remember in 2nd grade when her mom was pregnant with her sister, and in this wedding photos she looks so old...well, because she is.
Brittany just turned 20 on the 24th of march, so she must've been 19 when she got married. 19. i feel like i'm still a kid whose only responsibility is to learn and prepare for the future. but for her, the future is...now, i guess. we were so similar and it is freaking me out. i still picture us as little kids playing school (she always wanted to be a teacher). i've never even had a boyfriend, and she's married. life is weird.
