Umm... where did the year go?

Am I the only one that thinks this year has flown by?  I mean, it's May 1... really?  Seems like the kids just started school a couple months ago.  Carter was asking the other day when he would turn 7.  I told him Chandler's birthday was in a few weeks & then his birthday was 5 weeks after that & then we would be going to the beach a couple weeks after that... and then school starts back a couple weeks after that !?!   What?  I just spoke the whole summer away in one sentence.  

I remember vividly when I started thinking time was flying by.  It was the summer after my freshman year in college.  I remember going to the beach with some of my girlfriends and thinking "wow, this year really went by fast".  Since then, it feels like a couple blinks... but reality is that it's been 15 years!  I know the older you get the faster time flies, but man.  

Speaking of college. I'm going to a college-reunion-sort-of tomorrow.  A group of us connected via Facebook & one of the girls said "let's get together"... so we are!  I am so excited!  It's been probably 12 or more years since I've seen some of these people.  Don't worry, I'll take plenty of pictures... for those of you that care :-)

Speaking of pictures... here's a few from last week.

This is our small group (minus one couple).  We had our final meeting last Sunday night... a cookout & we had a blast.

The reason time flys faster is that each year is less a precentage of you life. For instance one year is 100% of a one year olds life where it is only 30% of a 30 year olds life *whimper*. Im no math wiz and that may not help you at all so sorry. Oh and by the way this year HAS flown by and with it blew away what was left of my baby years. Ian turned three and now he is potty trained. *sigh* Time flys when you're doing laundry.
