When I was younger, I couldn't wait to be in jr high. When I was in Jr High, I couldn't wait to be able to drive. When I was in High School, I couldn't wait to be in college. When I was in college, I couldn't wait to have a job.
Essentially, as we are growing up, we are being taught what it means to be a grown up. How to be responsible. How to act. How to function in the "real world"
I am in the stage of life where all of this is coming into play....
I am out of college. I have a job. I am engaged to the most wonderful man. In just about a week I am going to have a mortgage payment.
And apparently, now I am adult. Except, I don't feel like an adult. I mean, I am responsible, with my time, money, belongings, etc. I know how to take care of myself. I know how to function in the "real world". But I still don't feel like an adult.
And I am not sure if I ever will.
And I think that might just be ok.
One thing is for sure...if Blake and I can raise our kids (years from now) half as well as my parents raised me, I think we will have done a darn good job.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I am one of those people who wishes I could turn back the hands of time though...I miss certain things about life when there were no big responsibilities!
Can totally relate. For sure.
