Empty Nest

Well, we took Samantha back 'home' to Chicago. She has always wanted to move back (actually never wanted to leave!)

She has moved in with Alexander, Taylor, Jack and Benjamin; and will be taking care of Benjamin for the next several months. She plans to go to Harper College in January 2009. While I knew this day would one day come, I guess I did not expect it to arrive so quickly!

It feels funny not having her here with us.
It feels funny pulling up in the driveway and not seeing her car there.
It feels funny waking up in the morning, knowing she is not fast asleep just down the hall.
It feels funny not saving her a plate for dinner.
It feels funny not waiting up for her anymore.
It feels funny going to bed at night.
It just feels funny...
