Our first weekend as empty nesters

Today was actually a day all about the kids.  Andrew and I drove over to take a few things to Thomas and take him to lunch.  We also invited his roommate to go with us.  We were thrilled to meet him...he's a great fit with Thomas!  And Thomas was also telling us about all of the other people he's met in his "friend group".  We couldn't be more thrilled!  His classes start tomorrow, and we can't wait to hear all about it.

We then drove over to have dinner with Catherine and meet her boyfriend.  We were still stuffed from lunch, but it was a pleasant dinner.  He clearly cares about Catherine a lot, and we are grateful for that.

Our weekend ended up being far more scheduled than I had anticipated.  Andrew had to work six hours at the athletic events yesterday.  I have agreed to work at athletic events to take tickets if I am needed at any point.  It is a paying position, and while I may not get asked much, any amount is a bit more to use to help the kids with college.  We ended up with a nice afternoon and evening, just the two of us, which will be even better in a few weeks when college football begins!
