Adult Checklist

Owning a home has never been on my adult checklist, eating all 31 flavors of Baskin Robbins ice cream, absolutely! Eating brownie batter before you cook it ( I always felt like a deprived child for my mother not letting me consume raw eggs...), getting a puppy..duh!! But owning a home was never on my mind! This has been a HUGE step for Glenn and I, I like to joke with him that getting out of a mortgage is tougher than getting out of a marriage, so sad, but true! So we did it, we took the leap and officially have a mortgage.

My mom asked me today if it was different, I am not sure! I am still scared to hang things on the walls and am convinced bitchy neighbor is going to come out of the woodwork and yell at me for stealing her trashcan ( if you have not heard this story, let's grab a beer, it is fantastic!) But it is fun to the watch the boyfriend  fiance hang things on the walls and diligently water the ever-dying grass. It is like playing house, only with real things to break and real food to make ( I would give anything for my McFluffy maker I had as a kid....come to think of it, I see a theme of food in this post...SHOCKING). It is not the white picket fence that they show on TV, it is real life we are living and it is exciting and scary all at once.

Dad says there is always something to do around the house, which stinks because I feel as though Teen Mom is going to be interrupted by air filter changes and air conditioning problems, but I guess that should be added to my adult checklist...becoming an adult. Yep friends, I am making the transition to adulthood...as long as that  includes the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn Part 2!! Please come visit us soon....I think I hear Glenn calling....until next time!
