In studying psychology I learned about the different stages of life that people go through, starting at birth and ending at death. Psychologists recently added a new stage, emerging adulthood which is suppose to last the majority of your twenties. This is the stage you spend in college, find a husband or wife, and try to find and make your way in the world. One could say it ends when one finally decides to except maturity and become responsible. Since coming home from my mission some eight years ago that is exactly what my life as been. But things are changing.
I have graduated from college. I have found and married the great love of my life who is pregnant with twins. I have found employment. No I am not talking about another fast food job like I've been working forever now. No, I have found employment as a Mental Health Paraprofessional with NRVCS. While it might be considered low on the pay scale but it is salary and has benefits and everything. It is a good start and something I can begin to raise a family on.
So gone are the care free days of bachelorhood. Gone is the fun of being a newlywed. Now I have grown up. I have entered adulthood and started a family. I am settling down. One chapter ends and another begins. Adulthood has come and I could not be happier.

I remember realizing I was at the same point, but I have found a lot of peace in my life as I've entere the "adulthood" stage.
