The dishwasher is full and Rich and Megan are off to Staples for the last of the supplies needed for college.
We had a Mexican feast tonight (Meg’s fave and Rich’s speciality), thelast threesome dinner before the college send off. Her trimester co-op schedule requires a later start date than most schools, so I’ve had plenty to time to listen to the the tales of the empty nesters lately.
It will be different for us I suppose, since Megan doesn’t live under this roof 100% of the time, but I don’t think that makes it any easier. It will be an adjustment.
Just as the unfamiliar territory of step-parenting was a new world to explore almost nine years ago. It required adjustment, patience, and flexibility, (and still does), as will this new chapter.
But like with all major life changes, it will be an adventure for all of us.
Let the fun begin!
