Growing Up

Like I said before I have been reading the book How To Raise A Modern Day Knight. It talks about how do we know when we are an adult. I remember when I had a AHA(or it could be a DUH) moment in my life. I had been working for the Vet hospital for a while and they asked me if I would like to move into the apartment upstairs. That would be great, I thought!! After a long day of moving my stuff into the apartment I decided to take a shower. When I got out of the shower to my dismay there weren't any towels to dry myself. Where in the world is all the towels for the last 18 years there had always been towels waiting on me to dry on after I took a shower. I had never thought about where the towels came from they were just always there. I did not have any towels of my own, never even dawned on me that I would need to have some. While drying off with some paper towels I thought to myself I bet there isn't any food in the refrigerator either. AHA I just started my journey into adulthood.

OMGSH! Scary we were raised the same pampered way :) My AHA moment came when I moved out of the house and was in college..grown up but still dependent financially somewhat lol. I went to the Ohio BMV to get my new "tags" for my car. The lady hands them to me and says, "That will be ..." whatever amount. I said, "You have to pay for them?"

I had no idea you had to pay for them. Since I was 16, my dad just would hand me the sticker and say, "Put this on your car." :)
