The Year of Surprises

2015 is shaping up to be the year of surprises. First, I receive an invitation for a baby shower for one of my friends…the only thing…I didn't know she was pregnant, as in 7 months pregnant! Second, I get the mail one Saturday afternoon, two weeks ago and there in the mail is a red envelope. I open it and find out that the Maid of Honor in my wedding had eloped in December on the slopes of Utah. It wasn't unexpected but I was still surprised. Being surprised has sort of been the theme of my life this past year. There is a line in a movie that I worked on, that also sums up this theme. Staring Nicole Kidman, she says "I wonder what exciting will happen next?" The line has been a running joke between my boss and I because of the unexpectedness of our work situation. I've taken that line and pretty much am running with it in my personal life as well. For once in my life, I don't know what happens next and I am not scared about it. It's really quite refreshing not to have to worry all the time about things I couldn't control anyway. I don't have time to be scared anyway with all these surprises happening not to mention, all my friends getting married this year. I don't have to worry about what is going to happen next because I will be too busy to worry! In fact, talk about surprises, I have two good friends getting married on the same day in October. What a dilemma! Luckily fate, took care of whose wedding I was going to go too so I don't need to worry about that. So to sum up, surprises, yeah…it will be an interesting year.
