dealing with change

i've been rather contemplative the last couple days, and have chalked it up to just having a lot to do in a short timeframe. but it's more than that. life as i know it is about to change tremendously. not only is my BFF dating someone, or engaged, she'll be married in 48 hours. while the task of wedding planning will be over and she may have more time, she'll have a husband to go home to now; it won't be just "kate," everything will be "kate & chris." and while i love him dearly, and think they're perfectly matched, finding girl time will be something even more scheduled than it already is.

kate is my first really close friend to get married. the first of our "clan," if you will, and suddenly, what was 5 is now 4. or 3, since beans is moving to california at the end of the month. and though we're not thinking about getting married, adam and i are pretty serious, and i've already seen the change in the amount of time i see and spend with my roommate. what happens if adam and i do move in together? i'll see her even less!

i know. it's life. things change. priorities change. relationships change. and while i'm up for the changes - they're all good for everyone involved - i have to get used to the idea and adjust my vision. it'll take time. it'll take effort. but i think we'll all survive.
