Changes

So 2 of my boys have cut the umbilical cord and traveled West to Washington. They are ready to try their wings and live their own life. They left Saturday and ended up in snow in TN and all the way up. Managed to lose their keys in a snowdrift when stopping for breakfast and had to go down the mountains in Idaho at night in the rain.
It has been a long drive and I know they are finally glad to be at their destination.
Many people have asked me how I am feeling about some of my kids leaving home. I of course miss their conversation, their humor and them running all my errands but I am also proud of them and who they have become. They are smart and determined and amazing people and I am ready for them to do more and become more and experience more of life.
I love having the house of kids and i still have 7 here to keep the chaos going. One is going out west at the end of summer and one other will be going to college in Ky in the fall..so having all my older kids gone will be an adjustment.
I am planning some adventures of my own when all the kids have flown the nest... but thats a few years away.
