I've been so excited to see my son and future daughter-in-law working through tough decisions and dealing with business professionals to buy their first home. I feel so certain this is a good, wise thing for them. I'm glad my son will have a little time completely out on his own before they get married. She's in school until May about 4 hours away, so he'll have all the responsibility of the house for these next several months. The wedding is the 1st Sat in June 2010.
He moved most everything yesterday, but came back today for a few last items. It seemed so final, that I've found myself choking up a bit today. Of course he left some mess to clean up. But not too much. The room is empty, so I'll need to move a few things from other rooms to keep it looking decent. But some of that will need to wait until after this class is over....11 more days.
My oldest son moved out of our home twice. I've lost count of how many times the youngest has moved out and come back for a while and then out again. But this is the first time this son has moved out. He's 23 and I know it's time. Since he is #2, we've had at least one child at home for 26 years, 4 1/2 months.
WOW!!! Wipe that tear!!

Oh, I know exactly what you're saying, my friend. Even though I only have one child, it was SO emotional the first time she left for college. Then, she was back again until she got married; then back again after a divorce. It's been a roller coaster, but I wouldn't change a thing in having the "comfort" place for her to return to. Take care, and I just know your son will do well with his new home!! :)
Wipe those tears!! ((hugs))
Just keep the nest fluffed and ready, and when the grandkids start coming along, you'll be ready for them, too!

Ahhhh I will not like it one bit when that day arrives for me...
I hope you soon get used to it all..
I be that is hard! I have quite few years before my youngest is old enough to move out but I can't even think of the day yet.
Hang in there!!
Hugs.

I've never had an empty nest so I don't know what you're going through. Hang in there though, they'll be bringing babies home some day and you'll need to rest up for it!
Oh, I could see that tear! I share a little of that emotion as we get my youngest daughter ready to go off to college. I still have one more to go but things are definitely changing around here too.
Blessings to you all.
