High School... Again?!
So many coincidences and encounters have been happening in and through my life... I feel like everyday is an adventure of some sort (so exciting!). This past Saturday, Steph, Christine and I ventured out to look at some bridal stuff (wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, etc) for Steph's wedding (October 21, 2006!).
It was fun. We drove downtown and went to this one place called Veronica's and I was able to try on a fantastic strapless dress (long)... Such a pretty pink! It was great to try on all sorts of pretty things... made me realize how much I miss dressing up and going someplace fancy! ... such a girl I am ...
Anyways, we stopped by this place at Queen street called "Le Gourmand." It's a brilliant place (Great food. Great coffee. Great people.) and Christine was able to pick out a mug for Debbie. We dashed across the street to a wedding dress shop and went in to get Steph to try on some gorgeous dresses. It was absolutely insane seeing all these wanna-be brides looking for the "perfect dress." Anyways, there was this girl there with her mom, browsing along the endless varieties of white dresses... she looked so familiar. She also glanced at me, but didn't say anything, so I just moved on. Steph tried on around 20 dresses (one of them looked absolutely stunning!) and decided to come back with mom, who will make the "final decision." Christine asked us whether Steph found anyone to play music for the ceremony. Steph and I both thought of Susanna. She majored in the Cello and plays concerts... she's absolutely awesome in that instrument. But since high school, we've lost touch (she went to McGill and we stayed in Toronto) and it would've been difficult to get her phone number again. We then went over to Christine's place and lounged a bit, looking at pictures and watching TV. Her and Jamie drove us home and I got ready to pick up Sara from work (Yorkdale Mall). We went into Yorkdale (I wanted to browse a bit) and I went into Jacob and bought myself a sweater and some tank tops. When I came out of the store, I saw at a distance Susanna and her friend Irene (whom I saw at the Bridal shop some hours earlier)!!! It was insane... pretty crazy. We hugged and I asked her what she was doing on the 21st of October and if she wanted to play for Steph's wedding. She agreed and was so happy to know that Steph was engaged. It was one of those moments. Anyways...
I came home that night and was just reflecting on these past couple of weeks and realized that there were many high school friends/acquaintances who were coming back into my life. It's a bit weird... All throughout University, it was always difficult to keep in touch with my high school mates, but these days, it seems that fellow high school-ers are coming back into my life.
Steph and I were talking about this on our way to work this morning and she also mentioned some peeps from high school coming into her life as well... Is there a purpose and a reason for this? Who really knows... All I know is when one set of relationships seem to be coming to a close (not in a bad way), God opens another set of relationships to focus on. I was going through my high school yearbook and it's funny to know how young we all were...
