The Future is Now

A girl I know, who's the same age as me, got married a month ago. I thought she was a little nuts, and so did almost everyone else. I figured that it was just because she was brought up differently than I was and had different priorities for her life. But watching her young married life progress on facebook, I'm kind of jealous. She is building the life I want, with her repainted kitchen and crate-and-barrel boxes waiting to be unpacked. It's probably hard to be building this life while she's in school, but I'm starting to think that I'd rather have it than not.
