All Grown Up?

After making it through my four hour psych class this morning, I came home exhausted and decided to skip going to lunch with the girls so I could sleep. When I woke up an hour later, I was hungry but realized that I had pretty much no food in the pantry. Chloe and I made our way over to Target so I could pick up some milk, yogurt, and other snacks. It wasn't really all that fun having to hunt for things that weren't outrageously priced. It made me think about how much I took living at home for granted. I never had to worry about if there was going to be food in the house or what I would eat for dinner because my mom always took care of it. It just seemed so weird to me today that I was going through the check out line with a cart full of groceries without my mom there to pay for everything! I can't even imagine how weird it is going to be when I'm out of college and COMPLETELY moved out of my parents house and I'm going grocery shopping with my husband or something. It makes me feel all grown up doing all the shopping for myself (except for the fact that I'm not paying for any of it ha).

The grocery shopping experience along with my little burst of cleaning tonight was a little reminder of how much I'm on my own and how much I've matured over the last few months. I took out the trash tonight and completely cleaned my bathroom. I also cleaned my room and organized my desk. Two months ago I would have NEVER cleaned my bathroom just because it was messy (keep in mind that I shared a bathroom with my brother!) and I definitely was not assigned a day to take out the trash at home! I guess I've just figured out since being here that if I want something done, then I'm going to have to do it myself... That's the only way it will get done. After being SO excited to grow up and get married, I think I can wait on the whole being responsible for a household and all that for a few more years (:

"Give me Your eyes for just one second; give me Your eyes so I can see everything that I keep missing. Give me Your love for humanity. Give me Your arms for the broken hearted, the ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten... Give me Your eyes so I can see" -Brandon Heath
