This empty nest thing is weird, but cool at the same time. I thought I would be sadder about both kids being away at college, but I am not. While I was used to Laura being gone, I thought that I would be devastated to have an oddly quiet house when John left as well. What I did not realize until they were both gone is that I am actually so excited for both of them because they are figuring out how to live life on their own.
Of course, I miss both of them, but there is also something to be said for not having to wait to use a bathroom in my own house. Also, I can try new things like making lip balm because I actually have the time now. Entering this next stage of life seemed very overwhelming, but it is definitely beautiful too.
