I realized today that at some point I am going to have to change the description of my blog. At what point am I no longer a "young wife"? Now I am sure I can leave this up for a while, but at some point I will have to change that.
Wow, someday, I will be the experienced one, hopefully helping out the younger wife. Ooo, scary.
I have to admit, sometimes, it seems like we will never get this marriage thing figured out. I tell you, we think we are doing well, going along, communicating well, and then bang, we aren't anymore. I have probably already written about this, but it hit me again just now.
I was visiting with some friends who moved to Nashville last year today and I was realizing how grown up their kids are and commented that the kids were old. The father said to me "you know what that says about you - you're old-er." One of their daughters is graduating from high school this month, and I recalled that I have been out of high school for five years. That seems like an eternity! And at the same time feels like yesterday. Now I am the adult encouraging kids about college and life decisions. When did I become the experienced one? It is so strange sometimes, remembering that I am an adult now. Where did the time go?
Oh well, there isn't much I can do about it now. It's not like I can go back in time and do it all over again. Not that I would want to. But seriously...those years of my life flew by. But I am graduated from college and married now. I love my life. Sure it isn't always easy and there are days when I miss college life, but I wouldn't trade my current life for anything - except an eternity with Jesus.
