Sometimes I get upset when I am still treated like a child. I am not old, however, I am not young either-well in my eyes. I feel like that I always have to prove that I am an adult because people look at me and think I am a kid. So if I am a 'kid' in their eyes, then I must also act like one too.
My pet peeves:
I HATE getting carded. I get carded for stupid things like fuel injection cleaner, white out, and rated R movies. I think I look older than 18.
I HATE when people think I am still a child. They look at me and think I am not responsible and careful. I am, and I would never do anything stupid to hurt anyone, especially family. I feel like, even though I am 24 and married and a teacher, that people expect me to fail. They need to talk to me like I am five and then second guess everything I say.
Sorry I needed to vent. This is kind of vague. I didn't write this to hurt anyone, but to get my feelings out.
I'm out.
When I think of something else I will write again.

Hang in there!!
well Jen you are older AND always my baby too!
Perhaps, concern over what "they" think diminishes with age as well?
one day in the not so distant future you will welcome the carding aspects of life. (when they happen, that is)

We met through a mutual friend at a bible study. My dad was the youth pastor and led the group. I came once in awhile-being the too cool teen that I was. Greg was shy and cute. I wrote my email address in his bible and after awhile he emailed me. We email back and forth for awhile and then had our first date at Glacier Point. From there on it was history :)
How did you guys meet? Are there any future plans for moving back here? Do you have children?
Tina, Do you have an email address? You can write it in here and then I will delete it after I get it in my address book.
