Girls Night

This weekend is the men's retreat so the girls from our Bible study decided that we would still get together and have a girls night. So we went to Carrie's house so that she would be able to put her kids to bed and were going to watch a "chick flick" and have eats. What's not to like about chips, corn salsa, and queso?! Things I realized last night with the girls
  • I am old because "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin has been out for 15 years
  • We were saying things like "For that much money, why is there house still a mess after the wedding" and "A good wedding coordinator would have made sure he danced with his daughter."
  • I could see my husband feeling sad when our daughter grows up and moves away - and she is only 3 months old!
I guess I never realized how drastically your perception would change; I knew it would but it was interesting to see that I no longer related to the daughter in the movie but to the parent now.

I enjoyed your observations. Hey, do I remember correctly that you and I went together to see this movie in the theatre....those 15 years ago??? Since it's been a whole 15 YEARS, I wouldn't be surprised if my memory is a little off. Whatever the case, the memory is a good one...
