Josh and I are no longer children.
Over the past few years we have repeatidly said, "When did we become adults, and how do we stop it?" to each other. I believe this is also a line Meredith said in one episode of Grey's Anatomy.
I graduate from my undergrad 5 years ago this month. 5 years.
That seems crazy to me. After I graduated, Josh and I moved into our first apartment. This lasted about a year and a half, low rent and a ton of social time. We loved it. After a short period of time we bought our first house, the one that we are still in. We closed December 29th, 2006.
We realized that this was going to be a large responsibility, and we thought we were ready for it. Then we got to the point where we had lawn envy... If you have had lawn envy, you most likely thought, I never thought that this would be something that we would have ever considered. Part of becoming an adult, and responsible for taking care of your own things.
We love our house, we love our neighborhood. We have become adults.
We have been through the ringer, battles coming whenever we felt 'safe'. Random things, that right now seem so trivial.
Yesterday, the world got taken out from under our feet.
We are coping, yet I for sure, and most likely Josh too, are realizing that we are adults and we can make it through anything.
I am now proud that I am an adult. Josh and I are able to survive.
