leanne & ed, welcome to the gallery!!! :)
to most of my friends matt is ‘uncle matt.’ they started calling him that when he graduated and became an adult three years before any of us were even considering growing up. he started learning things about insurance and cooking and budgets and we gave him a hard time about all of it. i think he knew that deep down we were all really just impressed and a little intimidated – he probably knew that because of his adult related wisdom or something ;)
looking back on those days i laugh and miss all of my crazy friends but i also see how beneath my jokes i was secretly growing up. without much experience himself, matt was patiently leading me into adulthood. we spent time learning to cook together and proudly forced down every concoction we created! we talked about money (something i was rather convinced i didn’t need at all: ‘matt i just want to make art!’ ;) ) and he convinced me that budgeting can be a good thing.
today we are still not really grown up but thanks to matt we’re at least adult-ish in the necessary parts of life. he’s still leading me and i still can’t resist an old man joke every now and then, but we’re totally in this real world thing together. it’s different than i expected, way more fun and free than the rumors suggest. i’m learning that being an adult doesn’t mean i have to stop watching ‘scrubs’ with friends, eating a handfull of marshmellows at 11:00 pm, or even creating art – and i love it.
so i guess this post became more serious and contemplative than usual. sorry for that but it’s the beginning of the month and we spent this morning budgeting for june so i guess adulthood was on the brain. keep in touch for lucy and grant’s wedding pictures coming soon! sweet dreams friends! (part of adulthood i kinda like, bedtime!)
