Growing Up

I am growing up. In the next year I will marry the guy of my dreams, buy a home, graduate with my masters, and live the grown up life. It is easy to sumize that I am freaking out. I feel like only yesterday I was 18 and hanging out in the basement of my friends house making silly movies and making up dances. Now I am buying a house. What happened?

Highschool

Growing up is a normal step in life, but one that I am not sure I am ready to take. Am I ready to give up my youth and become an adult? Do I have to? When did this all happen?

The other day Ryan, Lisa, and I were out shopping at Kohls. It was tax free weekend so many students were there getting their back to school clothing. I couldn't help but notice some boys in the store. They were wearing skinny jeans that were still falling off their asses, purple air jordans, and then tight muscle shirts. My only thought was "what are kids wearing these days?" When did they become kids and I become the adult. When did it become creepy for me to take a second look at the highschool cross country team running down ward parkway?

OK, so maybe I am not *THAT* grown up.

I wish I could stay young forever. I wish I knew was to keep my youth and act young for longer. I wish I didn't have to grow up.
