I'm a real live grown-up!

On Tuesday night Cameron and I went over to Amy and Josh's. Amy and I made dinner while our husbands played video games. We also made cards, well Amy did, I wasn't as successful, and then we made cinnamon rolls with her new Bosch. It was so much fun! It made me feel like a real live grown-up. Amy and I always talked about how we wanted to make dinner for our husbands together, and we are totally doing it now!

I just turned 21 a few weeks ago and normally I don't "feel" older on my birthday's, but this last one I did some real thinking and I do feel older, not old, just like I am more mature. In my ward there are A LOT of young couples, but most of them are in their mid to late twenties and most of the women have gone on missions, I am one of the youngest ones and so I've never really felt like I belonged or fit in with them. But now that I am 21 I feel like I can actually interact with them without feeling like I'm a little girl, I finally feel like I belong.

While I was doing this deep thinking on my brithday, I also thought about how far I have come as a person. I would like to think that I am more mature and sure of myself. I owe this all to my husband. Ever since we first started to hang out together, even before we were dating, I have always felt that I could be the person I always wanted to be when I was with him. I never felt like I had to try to be someone else or like I had to convince him to like me. He has always loved me for who I am. I love that about him, he has never judged me, but has always been there to hold my hand and helped me to be better.
