Empty Nest

This is my first time "blogging". Not sure what that word means :) Sounds funny! But I love the idea of sharing thoughts, ideas, pictures....life. So here goes...

Scott & I have been married 24 years! We have three children, Sandon (22), Jena' (20) and Janelle (20). Scott and I are currently empty-nesters (2 weeks now). I can't believe after 20+ years of having children that now it is quiet and calm. I am home now from a busy day of training with a non-profit in Fullerton and sit here in an empty and quiet house. Peace. I can hear the birds in the back yard. There is no music blaring! The TV is off! There are no arguments to referee! There are no "friends" of the kids walking through my house and checking out my refrigerator for food and drinks! And lo and behold the house is just the way that I left it this morning! No clothes or towels left lying around on the bathroom floor.

And yet a little part of my heart is screaming, "It is too quiet!" (Just a little part of my heart)
