the ward is out

Humble is in.
Not that I don't journal enough, but I thought I'd give this a real shot.
I have added a few things to my description.
Kaley has formerly been:
sister, daughter, friend, girlfriend, student...

now the new additions:
wife and teacher.
weird.
The wedding world came and went (thank goodness) and now I get to start a life with Levi Humble. A new journey. A new adventure. Something pretty scary, but more than that, exciting. I'm growing up. Or now, I guess I'm a grown up. I'm learning- that's for sure.

I have to be a real teacher- with students- and a classroom- starting Aug. 12th. I have to decorate and organize a classroom next week. I'm a real teacher. I've had some great ones of my own and now I have to try to live up to the job. This will be interesting (to say the least).

I cook now. Obviously that's a change. Real life cooking. I even bake cookies. and pies. Suzie Homemaker? oh, gosh. no. no. no. I just like food. and experiments.

I have a house. That is clean (if you've never seen my room or apartment you wouldn't understand). even weirder. I make my bed now.
who the heck am I?

Is it bad that I like it? I like this phase. I know there are going to be huge changes throughout life and we never stop going. We never stop moving. growing. learning. I am so ok with that. I can easily get stir crazy. I need changes. Changes are welcome when there's some form of constant. I like learning what marriage is and how we work. I like figuring out- even through failing- how we mesh. I like this first year of unknowns and mess-ups. I like learning. I know we won't always be here. I know we won't always have this time. these friends. this nashville. I like this place though. I look forward to tomorrow and three months and ten years and twenty and new adventures and scary journeys and change but...
I like now.
