Yesterday was one of the first days I felt like an adult.
I'm accumulating these days, realizing more and more that I'm growing up.
I swear I still feel like a 3rd grader though.

You know I have my own apartment, I buy my own groceries, I pay my bills, I work work work, I hang out with friends- life is good. When I was younger and all through high school I would dream about how my life would be as a single girl.
Yesterday I went to work at The Bennett House and met Lauren for lunch at The Mercantile. After work I had to run by Target for some detergent and softener. Wow, the first time I ever bought my own detergent. Typically I drive back to my parents house to do laundry and have catch up dinners, but I decided to take the plunge and do laundry at the apartment complex. I don't know why I was scared of it...not even scared, just weary. Okay so I'm weird, I get this, I surrender. IT'S JUST LAUNDRY, BETSY! IT"S NOT A DEATH TRAP! While washing clothes I went to the work out room and did the treadmill and stationary bike. Adam called me while I was working out and it made the time pass by so quickly. Those two little things, washing clothes and working out made me feel like an adult. Once again, weird right?
The sun went down, it was chilly and fall outside and I was taking care of myself. There's a sense of accomplishment that I've gained from being on my own. It's a scary step but I know that I can handle myself.
Holli came over for just a bit and then we met up with Lauren and later on Nicole for salads at mellow mushroom. Best freaking cesar ever! Dang.
Right now I'm working at IveyCake watching the rain pour through the gray clouds.

I love that you write exactly how you feel about life "unedited"!At times I still feel like a 3rd grader and I am way into "ADULTHOOD" with my oldest child being a 4th grader!

Hope IveyCake is treating you well:)
