Way to make me feel old, guys!
So today is the birthday of this girl who used to live downstairs from me, and I'd babysit her and her brother a lot. She's turning 18 today. I met her when she was 6 years old, and her brother was 8 (I was 14). Anyhoo, we moved away from the neighborhood... about 8 years ago. I've seen them a couple times since, but it's been a while since the last time.
Anyhoo today I got curious, being that it's her birthday and all. So I went on Facebook to see if I could find them. Their names are pretty standard, so I figured I might have trouble finding them. Eventually though I found the boy, and through him I found his sister.
Oh. My. Word.
They are 20 and 18 today... It is freakin' mindblowing. I had to stop and really look for a second to really recognize the little kids they used to be... It's so weird! Part of me wanted to drop them a note, you know? A little 'heeey remember me?' but it's like... we're totally different people now, with different lives and everything, it'd be awkward at best... So might as well just let the past be the past...
