whew, I'm growing up

Well I have about 1 hour & 40 minutes 'til I am officially out of my teenage years. Crazy, I know. "I'm growing up so fast." Hah. ;)
Of course many of my friends have been through their 20th birthday so it's nothing too too special, but for me it kinda almost feels like a big deal. Or maybe there are just so many changes happening in my life right now that it is just making me feel older. This is the first birthday I actually feel like I grew older...
Maybe it's because I am packing up my last "childhood" room to move. It is my last because I'm sure I won't be decorating my new room in the new house all "little girly" etc since I probably won't be living in it full-time again like I did back before my college years & such.
Or maybe I feel older because many people my age have been getting married this past summer or engaged, or even having children of their own. Whew, definitely don't feel like we're old enough for all of that.
And with all of these changes, it just feels like my mindset on things are changing as well. I'm not even really sure how to explain this either. I guess I'm realizing what is really important to me and what I want my life to look like and be like.
But even as I think how much older I am weirdly feeling, I know I am still young and have hopefully another 100 years to serve my Papa God ;)
Yay for another birthday to celebrate!! I am so thankful :):)

Yay for getting older!! It's crazy to think about how old we are getting and all the exciting things that are gonna happen in the next couple years. Soon we will graduate and be on our own. My how the years go by.
