addendum

I just realized that I forgot to mention I've been in and to a bunch of weddings, gone to several baby showers, etc in the past couple of years of course!

And I might add...it does sometimes feel as if everyone around me is moving forward in life, somehow, someway, and I am stagnant. But it's like Nikki says, "good things come to those who wait." And I've had too much going on to go anywhere! :) Or maybe I just need a nice, long vacation to somewhere warm and far-away ; ) haha. Yes, when I get a biiig raise this year. ; )
