Wow, how our lives have changed

I was just thinking about how different our lives have become. Jay & I have been married 9 years in December, yet our first child isn't even 2 months old. Already she has completely changed us. We used to go scuba diving. We used to go to bed at the same time and eat dinner at the same time. We used to go out to dinner a lot and meet friends a lot. We used to travel. We went to Hawaii (twice), Florida (twice), Jamaica (3 times), Las Vegas (twice), Colorado (I don't even know how many times), New York (twice), Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco, Chicago, and countless road trips. Those days are, for the most part, over. Yet for some reason, I'm OK with that. I know that we have new adventures ahead of us. Yesterday I met Kyla and Cindy for lunch, along with their kids. As we sat, 3 adults with 3 kids (one was in Mother's Day Out), I thought about how our lives had changed. I never pictured myself sitting at a restaurant with 2 carseats and a high chair, tending to our kids and talking about our kids. I realized this is the start of a brand new life. A life I haven't known before, but a life I will embrace. Soon enough, our daughter will have her own friends. We will have birthday parties, sports events, slumber parties, and girl scout meetings for our new adventures. We will embrace whatever adventure she takes us on, but we'll rely on Grandma & Gramdpa to keep her once in a while while we cling to our own. :)
