Well, I was shocked when I logged on to post and discovered I haven't blogged since 2009! Where did the last 2 years go? A lot has happened but instead of listing out everything happening in my life, I'm sure most of it will come up as I just begin again.
Last week we took our last of 4 children, the baby, and dropped him off at college. Well, not really "dropped off", we stayed 2 1/2 days to make sure he had everything he needed. I know...pathetic. But it was the baby! And while over the last 18 years, I wondered if the day would ever come that we would be empty nesters, the day suddenly seemed to arrive out of nowhere. I felt like I had only blinked and the baby was grown. So it was a little tougher saying goodbye to him because there were no other little ones to come home to.
However, instead of our plan (for ALL our lives) of becoming an empty nesters, God had a slightly different plan. My 83 year old mother moved in with us. We'll be talking about Alzheimers later. Needless to say, things are not as we'd planned but the distraction of her being here has probably helped ease the adjustment of our son not being just upstairs everyday.
So I am one week into my new phase of life....and God, I don't think this is what I meant to sign up for.
