I had a big group of friends in college in my Illustration major, we were called "the Louds." I was first to get married - the summer after college, and fewer and fewer kept in touch with me. I went to a few weddings, they came to some parties my housemates threw, but that was about it.

That was okay, really, my best friend of them all came to work with me, we worked together for almost 8 years after college. She was more diligent about keeping up with "the gang," and gives me all the latest news of the rest, and they of me. When she got married 5 years ago, most of "the Louds" were there, and one of them, Dave, introduced me to his girlfriend by saying, "This is Karen, she got married and lived happily ever after, so we all stopped talkin' to her!" We laughed, and he he gave me a hug "Well, we WERE all jealous - you were happy!"

Bet your friends are just envious, that's all!

It's okay, WE still love ya!
