Growing Up...

I am officially starting to feel like a grown-up for the following reasons:

• I bought new shoes last night. The main concern was not fashion, but arch support.
• I bought new sunglasses (because my other ones broke... lasted 3 months though, which is some type of record for me) and wanted to make sure there was adequate UV protection.
• I get sick if I don't have sufficient amounts of sleep, thus I find myself going to bed much earlier than my college days (and even those were on the early side sometimes).
• I get sick if I have too much sugar/caffeine at once.
  
• When preparing for meal time, I try to figure out a way to incorporate healthy fruits and vegetables.
• Junior high kids in the youth group have no idea when I refer to memories from my childhood.
  
• I'm learning about the wonderful, ridiculously confusing world of taxes, insurance, and the like.
  

I'm okay with growing up, though... even if it does make me feel old sometimes.
