Oh Highschool

On a good night, I can trick my husband into late night pillow talk. Normally, it comes after a few good mornings where we have been able to sleep in and then forcing him to go to bed early because "I am tired..."

When all of those things come together and Roger isn't tired at all... he will spend hours talking with me like when we were in high school...

Oh high school, that was the topic last night. We were laughing over some high school drama that we were witnessing on face back and we started to reminisce about our high school years. I was one selfish girl that's for sure...

I think the saying I repeated a hundred times was "If I only knew then what I know now..." It's the truth isn't it? In high school, I was crazy obsessed about how I looked, my grades, saying the correct things, acting a certain way, and beating our rival schools. High school was my life, I neglected my family so I could be engulfed in this silly world I had created.

I am friend's with some current high schoolers and I am always tempted to post on their status and tell them that there is a HUGE world out there and this problem will not matter in um a month! I don't though because they will figure it out.

I am not sure when it changes, when you realize that life isn't about you and that you have really screwed up some good years. Maybe it's college, maybe it's the first real job you get, or maybe it's marriage. I am not sure, I just know that life changes.

My co-workers don't care if I am wearing the latest trends, when I got my frist real job they did not ask about my high school grades or even ask about my awesome GPA. I care so much about family and would rather spend weeks with them than being connected electronically. And honestly, that rival high school was keeping my future husband. Who would have guessed?

I think this late night pillow talk really made us think about what we are worrying about right now. We have been striving for the best apartment, starting to possible look at houses, dreaming about new furniture sets and buying the latest kitchen gadgets. I don't think these things will matter to me in 10 years, I mean if high school is the furthest thing from my mind then I figure these things will also come and go.

I guess the point of this little post is to remind me what really matters in life; it's my relationship with Christ, my relationship with my husband and my relationship with my family. And that my friends, is why I love late night pillow talks because they always seem to inspire me...
