NROTC

It's official, my youngest daughter took her oath or she was sworn into the Navy ROTC. We went to see it this past weekend. here are some pictures that I took. We are so very proud of her.

The ceremony was very nice.

Waco

I just had to share with you that my DD got a job and she starts September first. Most of you know that she graduated with her master in social work in June about a week before her wedding. She could find a job in Seattle, and that is there lose. I am so happy o have them back in Texas that I would sing it from the roof tops (good thing I can't get up there ... I would surely fall). and I don't do tall things as I am scared of heights. I am anxiously awaiting a phone call to tell me how her first day of work went. I know, I know that I have to wait for her to start the job.

Love

As you can see I have been working my fingers to the nubs trying to finish a gift to my kids. It still needs more work but i hope to be finished soon.

My Tat

I just had to share my tat ... my baby got it for me before she moved.

So what do you think?

Empty Nest

Well its official, I have an empty nest. My oldest DD has gone to visit her new in-laws and my baby DD has moved to Nebraska to attend the University of Nebraska. In 4 years she will be a navy nurse. This will be an exciting time for her.

We are both a little sad, we are used to the noise we hear when everybody wakes up in the morning. Although it was crowded with 5 adults in our 3 bedroom home, according to my daughter. I loved having them all at home. We had lots of family time. Now its just so quiet. Its like "what do I do now". We have been raising our kids for a lot of years, and now what?

Hugs to all
