Our five children have really been gone for home for some years now. Our 'baby' actually left home some years ago when she went off to college. She got married the day before we went to live in West Virginia for 18 months. After she finished her degree, they moved to a student housing complex near our town while her husband finished his degree, which happened last spring. Then they moved to an apartment off-campus while he began looking for a job.
Recently the job happened, which necessitates a move to yet another town 2 hours away from us. He has been working and coming home on weekends while she packs up. She and new baby stayed the last week or so with us while they waited to move.
Friday was the official moving day, so we supervised the loading of the moving van as they were busy down south signing papers for the house they bought. I guess they are officially on their own now. We came home Saturday.
All five kids now have jobs, a place to live and are launched. Whew! In this economy, I think this is a major accomplishment for them all!
Now we just have to figure out how to be empty nesters.
