Things I didn’t know:

Being a mom is the hardest job in the universe and gives the smallest most beautiful rewards balanced by the smallest most heartfelt upsets

The biggest pains about kids going to school are
1) the bus system
2) school activities get sprung on you with one weeks notice which makes mom work/life balance challenging

Time is precious, I wish I didn’t sleep so much in high school!

When I was 15 my guy friend was dating a girl that I couldn’t stand.
I thought she was obnoxious, annoying and had an attitude like nothing else.

Little did I know that by that time the next year we would actually be friends.

Never did I imagine that 9 years later we would be raising our children together – with birthdays just days apart and I would be standing in her wedding next year.

Little did I know that I would lose touch with all of the people I thought I would be friends forever with and that the one girl I didn’t think I could ever be friends with would be the ONE friend that has remained over the years.

If I’d known all that way back then I wouldn’t have wasted so much time *not* being friends with her.
I would have appreciated it more

Congrats to her on the new addition…

Well, when I was 15 I knew EVERYTHING…

I think I thought I’d suddenly arrive at adulthood. There would be a fanfare or something. “here you are Nat, you are an adult.” Instead it just sort of crept up on me…

I also didn’t realize Michael Jackson was weird, and I should have hedged my bets on Bruce… just saying.

This isn’t soppy, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be working my whole life. I don’t know why — I guess I just thought that was just something men did.

Even on a good day a wonderful sentiment like this would make me cry….now add postpartum! Eeeks.

Thank you for your wonderful note.

Pardon me as I am about to be a little cliche….

Although we never married the intended “old rich guy” we are rich with love from our families, proud of our successes and still appreciate “good friends, good times (taco dip)” moments. (did i put the quotations in the right spot?)

Here’s to 40 more years of great memories!
