Empty Nest...

Today something hit me.  In just 8 months I'll have an empty nest.  Wow.


Adam is planning on joining the Army and will probably ship out to boot camp as soon as he graduates from high school in May.  This of course, has made me wonder, what will Ival and I do?  I hope to be like that car commercial where the young girl has moved on and worries about what her parents are doing and says, "I'm an only child.  Except for my sister."

I hope we'll be off riding horses, taking care of critters, and spending some enjoyable time together.  But a family always seems to revolve around the kids. 

What did/will you do when you have an empty nest?

Our lives will definitely be different...

    Empty nest?? I'm going to college with Anna. We're going to major in veterinary sciences at Washington State University in Pullman. We'll be room mates.

    Seriously, I can not even imagine her being gone. I guess I have 7 years to get used to the idea...

    Somehow Kate, I can actually picture you doing that. Good thing she doesn't want to join the military.

    Jacki, hopefully not! I hope we'll have lots of years of sitting on the porch, watching the grandkids play and riding horses. Yep, that sounds like a good life.
