Life is what happens while we're busy making other plans.
Saturday night Naomi and her boyfriend are coming over for a movie night. Yes. Her BOYFRIEND! My first thought upon realizing that my 16 year old sister has a boyfriend is "What the h-e-double hockey stick is she thinking?!?! Boys are nothing but trouble!" And my second thought is "She's much too young to have a boyfriend..."
But then I realized that I was 16 the first time I fell in love. And 17 the second time I fell in love. I was married at 18, and a Mommy shortly there after. She's the same age I was when I was sure I knew what Love was all about. ^_^
She is much wiser than I was at that age though. Maybe she has learned from my mistakes. That's a good thing. Looking at it that way, my mistakes are more than worth it.

It's not easy to think of Naomi being "of boyfriend age"! I remember her when she was "just a little thing". Of course, I kinda remember YOU that way too! ;-)
