How did I get here?

Do you ever have those moments where all of a sudden you stop and think to yourself, How did I get here?? How did I get to this exact moment in my life? I had one of those tonight, I was doing my night time routine with my girls and all of a sudden it stopped me dead in my tracks and I thought to myself, How did I get here already? How am I already the mom to a five year old and a 2 year old and a wife of almost 8 years, How am I already helping to plan my ten year high school reunion, How in the world did I grow up so fast? I love all of those things but tonight I was thinking man I grew up so fast! Those years of being a kid, they went by really quick...I loved my childhood, I loved my school, my friends, the guy that I spent four years of my life chasing, I loved working at the Christian bookstore, I loved living at home with my parents and siblings... I loved walking to church on Wednesday nights for youth group and then going to the park across the street and swinging and talking until curfew, I loved laying on the grassy lawn of my best friends house and looking at the stars and laughing for hours all of those moments shaped me into who I am today....it is so strange to me now that all those years ago all I could think of was wanting to be to the point in my life that I am at today. I wanted to be a wife, a mom, to have a house filled with giggles, a lawn for my kids to play on but wow how in the world did I get here already? How can it be that I am already 28 years old and working to create awesome childhoods for my children like the one that was created for me..... How is it that my girls are already 5 and 2 when it was just yesterday that they were fresh and new in my arms, I am determined to relish in there youthfulness, to cherish each stage and each moment (okay maybe not the moments when they are melting down in the middle of the grocery store or killing each other) because I feel like the more days that past the faster my life is going and all to soon I am going to be looking at my girls and instead of graduating Pre-K they will be graduating college and I am going to be wondering... How did I get here already.........
