Springtime in Maryland

Well here I am...couple of years later and I find myself in Maryland.  I feel home again.

This will be an interesting chapter in my life as I start my empty nest life.  Let's catch you up on the last few months. 

My little slice of country in Maryland.

Sarah Jayne is now a senior in college...I know can you believe it. I cannot believe how the years have flown by.  She is currently living in Memphis with her beau and is expecting a little bundle of joy come this fall. I still say October 13th is the day to have it Sarah!!!

Clay is now living in Missouri with my sister and his cousins.  Trying to figure out what adult life is all about and I am trying to breathe.  Oh I do miss him but realize that my little boy needs time to figure life out on his own.

That leaves us with Mary Beth....she is in North Carolina with her father and surrounded by cousins, Aunts and Uncles, Grandparents and friends.  She gave me puppy dog eyes when I said that Cyrus was coming to live with me.  However in the end she won out and Cyrus is happily a permanent resident of Mary Beth's room.  I hear he loves to snuggle her at night time ....all 180lbs of him.

And so my new chapter in life begins...I get a house to myself.  I learn to cook for one.  I get to dance and sing to music I enjoy, as I'm cleaning my house.  I can sleep in if wanted and read books until early morning.  I can watch my movies without complaints.  I can drink a beer or eat a steak or just take in the smells of springtime. I am learning that for once in my life it is time to take care of me.

So with that being said I think that I may just need to soak up some sunshine and make me a hotdog with slaw and sauce...drink a sweet tea with lemon and listen to a little Ed Sheeran.

I'll be thinking of you!
