The title pretty much says it all. For the first time in seven years? we are empty nesters. All of our little birdies have flown the coop. Tear. Our last little birdie has gone for the summer to sell security systems in the North Carolina / Virgina area. Since our basement flooded during the winter and was completely demolished, our birdie had to move upstairs with us. It was a hard adjustment for everyone. The Bubs has been more than patient for a man who has had one of his in-laws living with him most of our marriage. I think he's almost reached sainthood. Almost. Everyone has asked us how it's been having the last birdie gone. Has it been a hard adjustment? Is it lonely? Are we bored? Honestly? NOPE! Although it hasn't been quite a week yet, we are really enjoying our time together. We're connecting together better as a couple and enjoying moments of snuggling together on the couch or even coming home to an empty, peaceful house. Although I love our little birdie and do miss him just a teensy bit, I'm looking forward to the summer! Projects, vacations, yard work, date nights. Um, yes please! What are your plans for this summer?

So happy for you guys! :) I didn't even realize he had moved upstairs.
Well, you pretty much know my summer plans :) Which I'm SUPER excited about!!! Hopefully one of your summer plans will be to venture out to Vernal and meet your new niece!
So sorry you had flooding issues. Not cool! This summer I plan on sitting in the sun as much as possible, going to the pool, growing a decent garden, and getting slurpees weekly! ;)
