I know that I have not blogged regularly and I am going to try to change that. It has been busy the last few months. My grandson celebrated his first birthday and we found out that he is going to have a little brother or sister come May. Also, Toby and I will be celebrating 21 years of marriage on Sunday.
Right now I am trying to ready myself for another little birdie leaving the nest. Our son Ben leaves for the Navy on November 17th. Suddenly we will be left with just one child at home. While we are looking forward to the day that our children are all grown; it is just a tad bittersweet. There will always be a part of me that misses helping out in their classrooms and going on field trips with them. One thing that does not change is that they LOVE their mama's cooking. Ben has given me a list of meals that he would like me to make before he leaves. Let's just say we are working on that list. :)
I am looking forward to the future. I can't wait to see what awaits all of my children. Marah has come into her own as a mother and her son just beams when he sees her. Ben has chosen a career path in the Navy that is going to require alot of schooling and he is really looking forward to the challenge. Travis has taken the ACT test and we are waiting on his scores for that. He is looking at going to Edison for their video game designer program. I want all of my children to be happy with their chosen paths and they seem to be happy with the choices that they are making.
Toby and I are on the edge of an exciting new time for us. We were already expecting our first child when we got married so we didn't get much "newlywed" time when we got married. Now that they are almost grown there are many things we are looking forward to doing.
I can't wait to see what happens next. Check back here if you want to come along for the ride!

I think you are getting ready to enter a new chapter of your life. How exciting!! I know we have had this conversation about children, and how sometimes you are envious of me because I still have little ones and I am a tad envious of you because soon you will have an empty nest. We are both just in different parts of our own books. I too have children leaving the house, I just have others still at home. One day all of mine will be gone too and YOU my friend are who I am coming to when I just cannot believe that I am alone and have no one to take care of because by then, you will be a pro at it! In the end...we will all be old together watching our children be parents and possibly even grandparents...enjoy your next chapter. Best wishes for you and Toby and all of our children!
