Graduation is Over!

Last week, my youngest graduated high school.  She was attending the school where I taught for 16 years, up until about 4 years ago.  In contemplating my 20 year association with said school, it has been a mixed blessing.  Lots of good memories...a few not so great...but all in all, I enjoyed my time there.  Now, since my daughter is done with school, that chapter in our lives is officially over.  The next things to focus on are a new grandchild who should arrive toward the end of October, and my daughter's wedding, which will take place mid-December.  As one chapter in life closes, a new one opens.  Therein is a beautiful thing!  I am looking forward to the new chapter as an empty-nester.  Hubby and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary this year, and before year's end, we will be alone in our big old house.  Should be interesting!
