On Saturday, I spent the morning checking out a potential wedding venue with my mom in Berkeley. Then I took BART back to the city to go to a baptism (pictured below), and then to a high school graduation party.
It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that I'm getting married. The idea overjoys me, but also baffles me. I think part of me doesn't understand how much time has actually already passed me by.
I watched my friend from middle school stand with her husband as they baptized their baby boy, and then I raced across town to give a toast to a young man (who now stands over 6 feet tall), whom I used to babysit over 10 years ago.
It's only through other people - new babies, and children who grow into adults - that I understand the passing of time.
