I learned of some interesting news a couple days ago. Turns out a friend of mine is pregnant. I could believe it, but I couldnt believe it. Personally, I think that if she goes through with this pregnancy and keeps the child, its going to be a big mistake. Mainly because her boyfriend is not a very good person. For lack of a better word, he is a major asshole and I dont think that he will give her the proper support she needs. I ran into his sister last night and she told me he plans on marrying her by August. Really, I think getting married just because you're expecting a baby is a bad idea. It just adds too much strain on a new marriage. Plus, they are only 21 years old and getting married young, even without children, is a quite difficult. Hell, marriage at any age is hard enough. I just have a feeling that if they did get married, they would regret it not too long after. I actually had a talk with her last night, telling her about the reality of having children and my experince as a young single mom. I just want her to be able to make an informed decision. She has already told her parents and her boyfriends parents. Also, due to an untrust worthy room mate, a lot of her "friends" know too, but due to the information going from person to person, it did get changed a bit. So it adds more pressure on her to make a decision because so many people know. So she is really pissed about that. I just love my friend so much and I do not want to see her throw her life away. I am really hoping she makes the best for her. Raising kids is a hard task and should not be taken lightly, as I now know.

On a brighter note, Corbin went to his first birthday party yesterday! He had such a good time. They had a clown that used animals as part of her performance (a chinchilla, ferret, pocket parrot, hedgehog, rabbit and a chicken[which was my favorite]). He seemed to enjoy the bunny. I am thinking about trying to get that clown for Corbin's birthday party.
