My good friend Genevieve was married yesterday, everything was beautiful. I loved catching up with my dear friends. These ladies always had the right answers in ELP (nerd's equivalent of Jr. High) and high school... they still do. My mom so often made comments to me about different people my age and how they seemed to be doing because of the choices they were making. It is interesting you can see their happiness or the lack of so quickly. During the ceremony even before talking to any of them you could tell they are happy. They are bright and beautiful, and just in case anyone couldn't tell since we were 12 they embody so much of what is right about the world. I was overwhelmed for a minute at how good of a feeling it is to see them all successful.
Jon Whipple used to always try to talk Genevieve and me into fighting. She is so tough he and his cronies thought it would be a fun thing to watch; needless to say it never happened. I thought it appropriate that now this group of awesome women is taking the world on instead.
I often think of Mahatma Gandhi's challenge to be the change you want to see in the world... they get it.
