I am slowly beginning to realize what people mean by "growing up".
According to dictionary.com the definition of to "grow up" is
"to be or become fully grown; attain mental or physical maturity."
I am fully grown physically, yes. But I am in no way fully grown up mentally. But then again, is anyone?
Any ways...my point is that being married makes you grow up a lot. You learn how to compromise with just about everything, you learn how to give up what you want in order to make others happy, you learn about how to choose what car to buy. Not just which one you want, but which one would be the smartest investment down the road and which one you can afford. You learn which car insurance to purchase. You learn how to look for a job. Again, not what job you WANT necessarily, but which job you can live with and that will be the smartest choice down the road.
I've learned a lot this past little while, and the previous list doesn't even begin to touch it.
In conclusion, I'm not really sure what the point of this post is. I guess it's just helping me learn that I really have grown and that I have much more to go. But I love it. I love life. I love being married. I love learning. I love growing. I love, love!
