Growing up.



Now that I live close to a sister I find myself reminiscing of younger days all of the time. Of vacations, events, food that holds memories, inside jokes, things mom or dad always did. I feel like I am at some kind of turning point in my life where I am some how crossing into real life as an adult and I am not sure I like it...

All at once I am graduated, no longer a student with little responsiblity other than passing the next test... now I am a doctor. Just the sound of it is heavy and laden with responsibility- mainly that of other people's lives. No more carefree living knowing that it is not all that important if you show or don't show because no one is counting on you to carry your weight whether you show up or not is really just more for your own benefit.

On top of that, as if that wasn't enough responsibility I am also getting married. Which seems to come along with all of its own new adult responsibilities.

All of the change is good, but sometimes its just hard to grow up and realize its just a new stage in life that is different but exciting and there's lots to look forward to.

Yay! A new post on our blog!

I am so glad you and Katherine are reminiscing.

I can tell you that watching you get that degree was such a large event and it felt like a turning point.

All new stuff ahead. What an adventure! Love you tons.
