I'm not a religious person - the only time I (and probably many other people these days) attend church is for weddings, funerals and christenings. Yesterday, it was the latter.
One of my mates from uni was having her third child christened. A few days ago, I was contemplating calling her with an excuse to say that I couldn't attend - I really couldn't be bothered - but I'm glad I went in the end. I also went on my own as the boyfriend was having one of his many stubborn and anti-social moments...
As it often does at these sort of events of late, it turned into a bit of an old uni reunion, with the six of us there, having studied the same course and graduated at the same time. We probably meet up once a year but know of many other people who just don't keep in touch with the friends they made at university. Such different fortunes and lives though since we have graduated...
Me - still pretty much struggling financially, engaged with boyfriend of many years
CL and JC - married each other, two sons and it was their daughter's christening. Live in huuuuge posh house, both with their own businesses
LF - married with three children
NB - recently engaged, will be next to tie the knot
HJ - still looking for Mr Right, but living a more exciting life than Bridget Jones and making a stack of cash!
It would have been very easy to lose touch with these people whom I met at the tender age of 18. I'm glad I've made the effort over the years to stay friends with them.
There are a few others who I lost touch with - perhaps I will see about rebuilding bridges again with them.
The bf doesn't understand - he has no friends like this only because he can't be bothered. Is it a bloke thing? I don't know.
Yeah, maybe it's a good time, bopperholly. Talking about old times is always fun! :)
