It is 2012 and I am turning 27 in just over a month. I can remember when I thought 27 was old. I guess I still do, a bit; maybe I'm just not willing to admit it's old since that would be admitting I'm getting old! Okay, okay - I know it's not nursing-home-dwelling, pureed-food-eating, diaper-wearing old... But it is time-to-be-a-grown-up old!
Let's recap... I graduated from high school 8, count 'em - eight, years ago! I graduated from college 4 years ago. Man, college still seems like yesterday and I am always finding myself wishing I was still there (but that's a story for another time)! Teenagers that I remember as babies are driving cars... While at the old college bar, I realized that the college kids in the bar were still in high school when I graduated... I just got approached by a fellow student, asking for Tylenol, which of course I had because I pretty much carry a "Mom" bag... I have held the baby of someone I used to baby-sit! Every day something happens that makes me feel like I'm not so young anymore... Did I mention I have already had my knee replaced (yes, total knee replacement!)?
Okay, a bit more on me: I am married (for two years) to my husband, Aaron, and we are about to become first-time homeowners. I am in my last semester of law school and am so ready to just graduate (not so ready to work a big-girl job though). I've decided it is most definitely the time to get my priorities straight, stop worrying about getting old, quit wishing I was back in college, and embrace where my life is headed!
I plan to share my forays into adulthood, as well as my failures. I'll share some stories, recipes, pictures, and projects - really, I'll share whatever I happen to be up to at any given time. And, maybe, at some point, I will really just be all grown up... But, then again, maybe not - the little kid in me just likes to have a little fun every once in a while! ;o)
