I get called 'Mrs' now that Leah is in kindergarten and it throws me off. I stop and think "HUH? Who? Me?" lol I've learned that being an adult doesn't mean you cannot have a good time or let loose, just means you can't do it as often...or more so, you choose not to do it as often. You realize there are consequences that you just didn't care about before. Other things become a priority. We started our family years before our friends were even out of their parents' houses, let alone in marriages. It was a difficult transition to make at times with having to be an 'adult' and not being out and about with friends. Now we are on baby #2 and everyone else is getting married and starting/planning their families and I am enjoying it a bit more than I did the first time around.
