Adulthood......booo

There are times in my life where I absolutely love being an adult. I love having my own house and my own cars and making my own decisions about things that are going to affect me and the husband instead of things that my parents think are going to turn my life into some kind of muck.

I love being able to drink at a bar if I want to or being able to go to a sporting event and have a drink because I'm a responsbile adult and I know when to quit and when to have more fun.

I love that my friends are starting to have babies and become parents (my beautiful bff from high school is about to pop today!) and that our friendships are changing as our lives and needs change.

And I love that my husband and I are starting to find our way into our own little family. Dependent on each other in ways we never were when we were younger and more considerate of each other as the years go by.

What I do not like about being an adult is some of the decision making that comes along with being one. For example: A/C went out at house. Hubs took the reigns and found what he thoguht was a reputable company to do the work. It's been 5 months and we just NOW finished getting everything taken care of because we ran into several issues. While we're overall happy, we're pretty disappointed in the fact that we feel like we got taken advantage of. But that's a discussion for another day....over drinks.

Example two: needing to talk to your boss about making changes in your job description/life. Grr. I love my boss, don't get me wrong. But it's hard to bring these types of things up to anyone...period. But there are some things in life that just have to happen. Whether you're ready for them to or not....and in the end sometimes the result is better than you thought it would be.

We shall see.
