I am a grown up.

There.  I said it.  I admit it.

I have had a really hard time adjusting to the fact that adulthood is here.  For some reason I have been really scared of the real world of grown up land.

I have always had an excuse to why I wasn't a grown up yet:

* I am still in college. (check)
* I am not married. (check)
* I don't have a salary job.
* I still live in Provo.
* I don't have any children yet.

(can you see the check marks adding up)
...

The list could go on and on.  But this last week, something very exciting happened.  While worrying about my life plan (which happens frequently), I received a phone call for an interview, and not just any interview, a Health Teacher interview, and guess what!

I got the job!  (check)

So, while I do still live in Provo and I don't have any children yet, I have had to take a good look at my life.

I have a college degree.
I have a wonderful husband.
I have my dream job.

I am a grown up.

And while I am convinced that life will just get harder the older I become, I am grateful for all of the wonderful opportunities that are at my door, you know the grown up kind.

And who knows, maybe I am not giving this grown up thing as much credit as it deserves :)
