March?! Really?!

Sot I know we talk about it all the time but time really and truly flies. Or rather, it IS currently flying. I just cannot believe for one second that it is already March. I have been married for 8 months. I have been out of school for almost a year. I have been out of highschool for 5 years! I am feeling old I guess; or grown up at least.... I gues it could be because I have been being "super wifey" lately as Stephen has been calling me or because we have finally made it to a point in our marriage where we are not as nervous about totally failing anymore. We know we can do this. We can hold jobs. We can make large decisions. We can hold each other up. We don't really fight. We keep our apartment clean. We get our laundry done (most of the time) in a timely manner. I guess I am just feeling like a grown up.

A week ago or so I was getting down(thanks a lot PMS) because I was thinking about how easy college was and how much easier high school was in comparison. It is not as if life is this great challange currently, but it is all on our shoulders. In college, I still leaned on my parents for a ton of stuff, even if I didn't realize it at the time. They paid for school. They paid for phone. They would help fix my car. Now those things are on us. We are doing fine! I just am getting used to the idea that this is ALWAYS how it is going to be and that blows my mind just a little bit.

I was talking to my wonderfully beautiful and intelligent friend Lindsey and we were talking about how wierd it is when the BIG milestones come, we are somehow always ready for them. For example, when we were in high school, college seemed like this far off land that was crazy. We would have to get ourselves to class ontime and buy our own food. And eventually move off campus and pay bills. And it all just seems to come at exactly the right time. Right when you are ready for it. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! We graduated and it seemed like, literally, no big deal. Honestly, I was passe about graduating. It was the most chill thing in the world. Marriage was a pretty big one that I was pretty excited/nervous about but still, it just worked. I couldn't imagine living with a boy and I didn't know how that would work but it has and it is AWESOME.

I guess this blog post has no point but to say. Hi, my name is Laura and I am a grown up.
