Well as mentioned in my about me post, I am a daughter, sister, wife and mother. To begin, I was fortunate to be raised in a home with both of my parents and my one sister. Our immediate family was quite small, for most of my life the only family that was nearby was my grandparents on my mothers side. This made for a very close and tight knit family. After meeting my husband and getting married, we moved 200 miles from the the family and hometown I had known my whole life. This was an adjustment for sure, but in time I settled in. A few years after getting married we started our own family as our first daughter was born. Now having a husband and my first daughter, our new town finally began to feel like home. A year and a half later we were blessed with daughter number two, and two years later our family was made complete when we were we were blessed with our third and final daughter. It was surprising to see how three girls with the same upbringing could have similar interests, yet have very different personalities.
As they are moving into the next stages of their lives, they are beginning to work towards their career path, finding relationships and learning about adulting. As a mother it is difficult to let go, yet exciting to see them begin to venture into the next stages of their lives. It is very true that we are always a parent no matter how old they become. It can be difficult to see them work through the bumps and struggles of adulthood always just wishing to fix it for them however, it makes up proud to see them be successful in working through these challenge. After spending 24 years having our life revolve around the kids it is quite strange to have a quiet house, we are not empty nesters as of yet, but with two off at college and one working nearly full time, we often wonder what we should do with ourselves, trying to figure out how to cook for two and not five. We knew this stage was coming, and have tried to be prepared, but just like many other stages in life, we are learning you can never be fully prepared for life in with empty nest.
