You must not have any kids. If you want time to hit warp speed have one or two.

Thats the truth. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing ours home from the hospital. Now 1 is married and the other 1 is a jr. in high school planning for college. And I am trying to figure how I got this old in such a short time.

Wait until you get a little older. You are just going down the street at about 25 mph.

I just turned 21, and it made me think of how time has been flying by. It has been almost six years since I started high school, and it does not seem to be nearly that long. I am already wrapping up my second year of college, but it seems like I just graduated from high school. I have had my pickup for about 4 years now, and that is almost unbelievable to me. Everyone says that high school and college go by quickly, and I have to agree.

oh yeah... me and a buddy went to jersys for a couple beers. started having a conversatin with this one waitress, and she asks "when did you go to simley high school?" which made me feel old... cause i left there in 10th grade to go to a different school. i left *5* years ago! geeze...

on top of that we went to a party that night his cousins were having. they were all 17-18 years old... i felt older than dirt by then

As the saying goes:

Time flies when you are having fun

It seems like yesterday I met my wife, and we will have been married for 6 years come June ?? ( I have a couple months to remember the exact day.)

My boy will be finished kindergarden this May.

Makes you think about the things that really matter when you look back and see how quickly things change.
