Usually Summer is filled with go, go, go for us. So much so that I welcome the new school year just so life will slow down. But, we broke from the norm this Summer and are having a rather uneventful (ie boring) Summer. Well, it's not boring for the boys. One boy has golfed non-stop and is currently taking golf lessons. He also spent a week at church camp and a week at the family farm. So he's living the good life. The other boy is working....a lot! He also wants to go to the gym every day so he's holding me accountable with working out.
But, this Summer has been bittersweet for me. With both boys busy doing their own thing, it's giving me a taste of what empty nesting will look like. And I don't like it!! I've been staying around the house, getting projects done, and occasionally getting together with friends. It's so quiet when both boys are gone. I look forward to when they get home and we can catch up on what happened during the few hours they were doing their own thing.
This Summer has made me appreciate the slower pace of life and the relationship I have with the boys. I love spending time with them and don't take it for granted. I love the weekend we spent together, fishing, at the farm. I love the weekend getaway that we enjoyed at the beach. One of E's friends came with us and we had a lot of fun together. And I am looking forward to our 4th of July tradition where we go out on my BIL's boat and watch fireworks. We'll top off the Summer with our big trip to see my family, which I am excited about. Overall, it's been a fun, yet relaxing Summer...at least for me.
