Ok, to preface this, I am a self-proclaimed Facebook stalker. Ok, now that that's out of the way...
I was doing a little procrastination-stalking tonight and came upon a FB profile of two people I graduated from college with. They got married the summer after we graduated, like many other Hopers. A lot of people I know are getting into the baby time. The timing makes sense- 3-4 years years of marriage. Seems about right, I guess, for normal standards. Now, what I just noticed about this particular couple is that they now have TWO children. Lord, almighty. Not that that's wrong; to each his own, and good for them.
What really sent me into a panic was the idea that I've been out of college long enough to potentially have two children. That is insane to me. Not that I'm not happy, although I have been dropping numerous hints to a certain someone to put a certain sparkly item on my hand. I'm not that crazy "you have to marry me tomorrow" person, though. His family makes more comments about it than I do, that's for sure (his mom told him that if we broke up, they were disowning him and adopting me, just to put it in perspective).
I know we're not ready for kids, but it's just crazy to me that it was only about 4.5 years ago that we graduated and now people are all grown up and having kids.
Why is it that I still don't consider myself a grown up? Do I have to be married and have a baby to make that change? If so, good luck to me. ;-D
