| My mom and my bday are 2 days apart, so we shared a cake! |
Yesterday I turned 20 years old. That means I am no longer a teenager...which in turn I suppose that means I need to be a grown up. Until about a month ago I wondered, being the youngest of 3 girls, if I would ever really even begin to grow up. So what happened a month ago? Well I had to deal with what I would chock up to be one of the hardest things I'd ever had to deal with, my superman indestructible hardworking dad went into the hospital, received emergency surgery, got released from the hospital about 5 days later and is now on what i can basically describe as...bed rest, he is (against what he would prefer) at the mercy of me and my mom for even the smallest of things. Although I'm so happy to report there is progress everyday we are still waiting to see if he will ever regain feeling in his feet. I have to tell you this so you will understand, I have never had to see anyone in my family go to the hospital except when my sister had her babies, so this was very hard for me and although i thought i was adequately "grownup" for being 19, i quickly realized i had a little more growing up to do. So this is me starting a blog about growing up, what better day to start than the day after my 20th birthday? I hope you enjoy it. There will be happy posts i promise!! Thank You, Em.
