As I have been sitting in this jury assembly suite, I have been thinking about the type of person I have become. Being surrounded by new people, I am very surprised by my ability to be personable and social with each person and treat them the way that I would like to be treated. I also have gotten to experience a real life moment. This day .... these past two hours... have allowed me to think in an adult mindset. These past couple hours have also served as preparation for what is yet to come... adulthood. While this is overwhelming and scary, it is also exciting to enter into a world of independence (leaving and cleaving) to a world with another person. I discussed this topic with my dad on our date night Saturday night. I expressed just how difficult that will be for me, simply because I have been dependent on my parents for twenty-two years now. It is strange and liberating to think that I am not going to be obligated to call my parents for each and every decision I make. Instead, I will have my own new family that will come before all others (besides GOD). I am very grateful for my family, and I cannot wait to extend that family even further. What a blessing!
