Oh darling don't you ever grow up...............

At what point does one become an adult and when do you start acting like one :) Here is my theory......... with every event that you experience with every mountain that you are face with you continually gain experience and knowledge and do the best you can in every situation and thus you learn the good roads and the bad roads and how you can improve next time. Being an adult doesn't mean that you have all your stuff together it means that you lived and you learned and you know how to face a situation head on and take care of the things that need to be taken care of because you have experience and a little confidence in yourself. I have some who say that I am still naive and immature at life and I say you are right. I know there is a lot that I have to learn and experience but at the same time you did too at my age and why pass judgment on adults of my age when you know that everyday is a new experience and a new lesson to learn and we do the best the can with what we got and try to go to bed without regrets and tell ourselves tomorrow is another and new day and we will give the same 150 percent we gave yesterday. I can tell you some adults in their 50s or 60s who are still not adults and what does that mean?? they never learn from the mistakes and keep making them and not trying to better themselves. I think at times that we wish that (like the taylor swift song) we had someone to clean up our messes or even to hold us when the world seems to have turned against us but the bottom line is you live and learn and you keep your head up :) Do the best with you got and keep moving :)

I have arrived :)

When we are young, we dream. Our dreams are filled with the toys we wanted, the vacations we wanted to take, the big sports game we wanted to win, meeting our famous crushes, or winning an award. As we grow up, we dream of the person we want to marry, our dream job, all the millions of dollars we are going to make, the difference we will make in the world, and having kids. Do we honestly ever think we will reach among the stars and actually touch those dreams?

I am now 25 and I am finally at the place where I see them coming true :) I never thought that I would reach this point in my life and see my dreams just maybe in a different light :) We also dream the places we want to go and be but yet we never consider the paths we will take. I finally have my dream job and my college degree wasn't good enough to get me there. It took me an extra two years to get there plus extra education. I never thought I would be a teacher yet I cannot imagine my life complete without teaching! I thought that in college I was going to meet the man of my dreams and fall madly in love and never come back to the small town of El Dorado again. Well how wrong I was again :) I met Sergio Herrera two months after I moved back to El Dorado and here I am three years later and planning our wedding while living in our house in SMACKOVER. But yet I am as happy as can be. My life is finally to the point of where all my dreams intersect but yet they are different dreams. If you told me while I was at OBU that this is how my life would turn out I would have told you that you were crazy !!

It goes to show you that God takes care of those who are his and though we think that we know better, he is the one that only knows for sure the best path to get us to where we need to be. I have arrived and I would not have had it any other way :)
