Blog Tour IV

So when did I become a woman? Not by age but by mind and feeling. I'd say I was a late bloomer in that aspect. I felt like a kid just pretending for quite a while. You would think that moving to a state half way across the country at 20 would do it. Or moving into an apartment with Alyssa at 22 (23?) would do it. But honestly I just didn't feel grown up then. I didn't feel like a woman.

Then Gehnen and I decided to move half way across the country together. So not only was I moving but I was moving with my future husband. And then we bought a house and then we got married.

I think for me it would have to have been when we walked into our house after signing a million and a half pieces of paper that it really hit me...OMG I'm a grown up. I am a woman. Yes I'd done plenty of things that women do before then. I had been *whispers* intimate, with my hubby. I had moved across many states twice ending up in one where I only knew 4 adults and 2 kids and 2 of the adults had moved with me. I had paid my own bills I had purchased a car but none of that really made me feel like a woman. For me it was the house. That was what sealed the deal.

Now that's not to say I'm completely grown up. Not by a long shot and that's ok. I like being a kid in some aspects. I play video games and read young adult and even children's books that are well written. I have, as one of my best friends says, the drama of a high schooler going on right now which I'm not going to go into details on. So while I'm a woman I'm still very much a kid too. And I like that about myself so it's all good. :)
