I reposted this yesterday over at Becoming Tru Me but like this video from The Sartorialist and Garance Dore so much that I thought I’d post it here too.

Tell me what do you think makes love?

So we took the last twin back to school this weekend. No, not the same amount of tears at the first separation but still the same twist in the gut, anxiety, lump in throat thing. I don’t think those feelings will ever go away.
Honestly, we all got an education out of the first semester and I vow to stay diligent, hopeful and prayerful about this upcoming semester. Of course the kids think they are now full fledged adults but as parents we have feelings of our own to be a pull to their push.

To drive that point home, on the way back I was feeling my age and put on the 80’s radio station and here’s what came on. Eee, let’s hope this education is not too adult.

It’s a new year and once again I’m pulling out this old friend to remind me to live simply and take  life as it comes. Enjoying each step and stumble along the way.

Do you have an old friend that you refer to each year?

This weekend the DH, the grandparents and I got to see the DD and DS since it was parent’s weekend at the DD’s school. And after seeing her we took a quick trip and dropped things off at the son’s college too. It was great to see them both though always bittersweet now as each time we see them they have changed in subtle ways and as parents we know our babies will never be the little ones they once were. While at the DD’s school she took us on a wonderful tour of her library and showed her now favorite places to get away for quiet moments of study. I just love a library and am so glad that she does too.

A day I knew would come and held tight to my heart through all the good and especially the not so good times. 

I know today I’ll need a lot of this:

Maybe I’ll use a year’s suppy in one day.

Because it is the dear twins graduation day!

And I could not be prouder!

What’s Jack up to? Why he’s as confused as me over the fact that today after a two hour delay being called for freezing rain it has suddenly been called another snow day. It’s a full house again Jack. Needless to say the kids are thrilled.

And me? I’m hoping to find my way back into my routine sometime in this new year. Soon… please. Even my Christmas lights are still up outside along with most of the folks on my block. I guess we’re all in the same boat.

Best,

Kwana
