As I heard a gunshot echo into the night outside of our apartment on Monday night, and as we were later questioned by the police, it further engrained the thought in my mind that WE HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!
We have been in the same place in our life for so long - same school, same weekend/night job, same apartment that may or may not be falling down around us, still only one child. We have seen so many of our friends move on with their lives in various ways and we are way passed ready to take our turn.
I know these feelings are completely selfish. I have so much to be grateful for. But can a girl have a little pity party every once in a while?

I was in the SAME situation when we were in grad school! We were living in a dump in a rather iffy part of town, our next door neighbors kept getting questioned by the cops, then the cops came to our apartment looking for our neighbor, all of our friends were graduating and moving, and I wanted nothing more than to leave Indiana and never look back. (See how well that turned out.) Don't worry - all of this will just make you appreciate 'real life' all the more. :)
Hang in there!
I think you are perfectly entitled to a pity party. I too am anxious to move on to the next stage in life so I can't even imagine how ready you are. I hope the time flies for you!!
