Real Grown-Up

So I've had this blog for a little while now, but I've always just kept it private and used it as a journal.. Sort of.. I've only posted on it like 5 times... But I thought I'd be wild and crazy and let anyone who wants to read it... Read it. So.. Here goes!

In the last couple of months I feel like I've gone from "pretend grown-up" to real "grown up." Yeah, I've been married, we have our own condo, cars, bills, etc... But I've always still been in school and just working part time. We've been kidless, and have still sort of felt like kids ourselves. However... In the last few months my life has changed dramatically! I officially finished school. Done. No more papeers, no more tests, no more late nght study sessions. Two days ago I became a registreed nurse, which is what I've wanted to be when "I grow up" for about 12 years now. I have begun working full time And actually making a financial contribution to the family. I had the blessing and opportunity to be pregnant for 11 short weeks, until sadly we lost the baby, but I have felt different ever since that time. Like I was a "mom" for a moment in time, beginning to make the sacrifices and beginning to love like a mom does. And to top all this "adult" stuff off, I had a real interview today, for a real "adult" job.

Now don't get me wrong, I am still in my 20's, still young, and still love being young, but the transition in the last few months has been life altering, and I am loving it! I always told Casey when I was in school that I was sick of school and that, "I want to be a real person!" So.. I guess you could say I'm a real person now, and I am loving it.
