A new phase of stepfamily life...empty nest syndrome!

It seems as though time as flown by...and suddenly we are empty nesters. My husband's youngest moved out in September and my son moved out this weekend. Two oldest stepkids have graduated college and on their own. The three youngest, including my two, are going into second year of college and have their own places! It is incredible because now it is ALL ABOUT US! I can't believe that we have actually survived to get to this point! So their is hope folks and although it seems like forever know, before you know it all of those biokids and stepkids will be grown up...take care of your relationships so that you still have each other when they do!

Don't get too comfy, sometimes they come back!

I have already painted the room and furnished it. My son is the last to leave the nest (he is the youngest). It is great to see him so excited AND HIS NEW PLACE IS NEAT AND TIDY! I am thrilled for him and for all of the kids. Finally, it is our time...at least for a year!
