I'm Almost Free

Graduation is looming before me and I am so excited.
But, that brings with it a whole slew of questions to be answered and challenges to be met.

Am I ready to be a grown-up?

I had thought ever since I entered college that I was a grown-up, but now that I am married and working and paying bills, I've realized that this level of grown-up is totally different.
I like it, though.

It's so funny to look back at what I imagined my grown-up years to be as a child. I thought grown-ups could stay up as late as they wanted, eat pizza for every meal and not get in trouble, watch TV all day long and had tons of money because they had a job.
Well, I can stay up as late as I want (thanks to school work) and eat a ton of Little Caesar's pizza ('cause it's cheap and groceries are expensive). But I only watch TV while I clean house for background noise...and technically that's not watching.

It's great being gown-up. I love being able to be independent and work and know that I'm doing my part to support our little family. I love being married and getting to stay up as late as I want watching movies and eating Little Caesar's with my husband on our nights off.

Growing up is fun!
