You know you are moving into a different phase of your life when everyone on your Facebook page is getting married. And everyone who isn’t getting married is pregnant. And everyone who isn’t pregnant already has children. And some of those children are little people who walk, talk, and can order lunch for themselves at a restaurant.

A few years ago, I was carefree, living paycheck to paycheck, and coasting on dreams. Now all a whole truckload of our friends are buying houses and making babies. The day Lawrence and I get more excited about a Baby Bjorn (made familiar to me by the movie “Knocked Up”) than watching our beloved Entourage on Sunday nights is when I know youth really has become a thing of our past.

Yeah…I know, I’m still relatively young. But I can’t believe what a difference a few years makes when you’re living life on the other side of your twenties. Sometimes I feel like I didn’t get the memo, but everyone else did. You know, the one entitled, “You Should Grow Up Now. Here’s How You Do It.”
