It amazes me how things change as I get older.
As a child, my biggest worries were which of the neighborhood kids would be able to come over and play that day, or whether or not I had all of the newest G.I. Joes. My free time was spent playing army, building forts, and somehow managing to never get my brothers in trouble.
In middle school, my worries turned to which Polo and Izod shirts matched which pair of Duckhead shorts or Levis jeans (perish the thought of EVER wearing any other brands), or whether or not I had all of the newest Nintendo games. My free time was spent wondering why girls never talked to me, exploring the creek behind my house, and being jealous that my brothers could drive and had lots of friends.
In high school, my worries became who I could date or how many cheap clothes I could get at Goody's, and whether or not I had all of the latest CDs. My free time was spent at church, playing basketball, hanging out at Bobby's, and once again playing a lot of video games.
In college, my worries involved whether or not I'd pass all my classes and graduate on time, or how far I could stretch the money I had. My free time was spent playing cards, hanging out at the BCM, and playing on the computer like a mad dog.
In the pre-marriage real world, my worries have turned to whether or not I have enough money to do and buy all the things I want, and what kind of husband and person I'll be. My free time is spent putting together furniture, painting rooms, and planning stuff for the wedding.
I wonder what's next?
