Glad one of us is ready. Looks like your daughter can't wait either!

The first 'empty nest' year. Our ...Oh my! The first 'empty nest' year. Our son (our only child) went away to university this year and it was a real adjustment. I was happy and excited for him, but my heart had 'an empty' place. I sighed a lot, and cried a lot. But at the same time I was very happy for him and excited about all his new adventures. I kept telling myself that other moms have gotten through empty nest syndrome, and so will I. And...I did! It was a long year and I finally, finally,(after about 7 months) started to enjoy my quiet house,reconnecting with my husband, not feeling guilty about staying a bit later at work each day, a clean house, less laundry, access to the tv remote,not as much cooking etc. Thank goodness he came home a couple times a month, though. You will get to spend some extra time with your other girls and it will be so exciting when she returns home for visits! Take care.<br />Shelley in SK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-22457020529504759532011-07-13T23:03:25.240-04:002011-07-13T23:03:25.240-04:00Love the swimsuit coverups, too too cute.

Unfortunately, I don't have any advice in the leaving your daughter department, but my mom {who's left 3}, says it is great to cry all the way and then throw yourself into cleaning their room. Then you will wonder how they ever lived like that and you'll be ok for a while. :)Project Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065149431799924084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-42098480960015292762011-07-13T22:03:23.385-04:002011-07-13T22:03:23.385-04:00"Athens" The word itself brings a smile ..."Athens" The word itself brings a smile to my face. The experiences I had in college there have shaped who I am today. What a wonderful time she will have! Athens Church is awesome and such a blessing to keep college students grounded while temptations pass by. I am sure you know this, but Cat (Hydrick) and Will Cantrell live there.

You will experience so many feelings from now until August when she leaves(highs and lows) but I just had to keep telling myself that this is what I wanted for my daughters...to be smart, love God, active, involved, caring, have grace, and many more things. I wanted them to spread their wings and soar.<br /> BUT these next few days you will have fun and the excitement is contagious. <br />Glad you are getting to experience this with your daughter. And just think you have 3 more to look forward to.

I was SOSOSOSOSOSO dreading the good-bye. Luke, our youngest, has never gotten too big to hug his mom in public. I was scared I might embarrass him with the Ugly Cry though when I left him that day. So we took the elevator down to the lobby and I was giving him all those last-minute-oh-so-important-instructions. He was so excited to be at school. I was so sad to send my "baby" away, but I was trying to be brave. We get outside to the courtyard and are JUST getting ready to say good-bye when a very cute girl comes walking up the sidewalk carrying (or trying to) a TV. Luke RUNS to her and says, "Hey, let me get that for you. What floor are you on...I am Luke....." Then he looks at me and winks and waves. And that is how we said good-bye. I still say "Thank you God for sending the girl and her TV just in the knick of time!" Roots and wings. Roots and wings. You have to repeat that to yourself over and over!

Now I've graduated and moved on, but Athens owns a very large portion of my heart. I am confident she is going to thrive at UGA! There are so many great churches in Athens, too. Athens Church and Watkinsville First Baptist are at the top of our list. We went to both during our time there and there are so many college students who attend both. They are fabulous environments for the Christian college student! Beautiful pictures!
