BUT.
this past weekend we were all in LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS [yes, this place does exist] for a best friends wedding. after the wedding we all [minus the bride...brown chicken brown cow] went back to the hotel bar to catch up. since some of us were in the wedding, we hadn't had a chance to really chat!
anyway. the whole conversation was about babies, husbands, and fiances. now, i love a good baby. and i love their husbands. but it made me a little sad that was all we could talk about. and i had NOTHING to add.
i live alone. no baby. no husband. and no fiance. which, to clarify, i want none of these things right now, but made me realize that friendships REALLY change with age. we went from being the most fun group of girls in college with all conversations starting with "so does anyone know how i got home last night?" to a conversation that starts with "i was wearing my nice jeans when she threw up."
so i'm asking you....i'm not alone right?
i know once we are all in the same stage in our lives, it will get back to normal. but for now, i'll just smile and nod, and thank the good Lord i don't have a baby yet. :)

You definitely aren't alone! I have been feeling the same way with my friends lately. While I love all of them dearly we are moving in different paths at the moment. I feel ya girl!
You have a lot to add and are not alone!! However, you have seen parts of the world people dream about. You have experienced things in life some will never. Maybe you haven't met mr. right but guarantee others are envious of the life you have! Love yoU OH so much, Sista!
I have the husband and I am about to have the baby and honestly I've spent the last half of pregnancy in agony-inducing jealousy about my single friend's fun lives while I hobble about like an overweight duck with out of control bodily functions and a bad attitude. And it's not just the jealousy... I really miss my single friends because, let's face it, they are more fun.
I feel the same. I'm stuck between married friends with kids and friends who party like rockstars. I can't relate to either lately.
Just think, one day you'll be saying "I was wearing my uniqlo heated pants and the baby threw up all over them"
Def not alone. I also live alone, with no fiance, or baby. Went to college in the south so they all worry im "behind" haha. Im pretty happy only being responsible for myself.
girl, thats why you gots me!
brown chicken brown cow.
wait, that was in reference to what you wrote....not what i wrote....
awk.....waarddd
Luckily not a ton of my friends have babies, but it can be weird being the single one out on the wedding things. Glad I'm not alone in my happy-in-singledom life! :)
Also, I LOVE that photo!!! It's the best!!
While I have the marriage thing going for me, that's about it. All of my friends are in the baby stages and none of them ever travel (which I love to talk about). This is the weirdest time to be an adult...
I think I'm still a few years away from that stage but I have three engaged friends and one married friend, so the wedding stuff is starting now. I just hope I catch up before I get resentful... :)
