Well it has been a while since I have blogged anything. Life has taken my husband and I on a very active course this past year. We have found that being empty nesters doesn't mean sitting home mourning the loss of parenthood. Last March during the Mardi Gras holidays, we took a vacation to Orlando with our grandchild and his parents. We stayed in a very nice resort right outside the gates of Disney World. I had never been to Disney so it was overwhelming for me. Once we returned from that vacation, my Marine was scheduled to return from Afghanistan. So in April we vacationed again, this time in Wilmington NC. We enjoyed exploring the area but enjoyed welcoming my baby home even more. Then the crush of the end of school kept me extremely busy. My summer started in a cast, after I took a spill at school. The ER Docs thought it was fractured, but it ended up being a very bad sprain which has yet to heal completely. They are now thinking I have some nerve damage. Anyway, I was able to attend a couple of 4 day crops and a week in Arkansas before heading back to school. Once school started, however, my arm began to swell and hurt, In late October I was placed on medical leave and have been home since then. Last week, we did get to go back to Orlando for a week to spend some time with my children before Matt leaves again for Afghanistan. We had a wonderful time. I was able to spend good quality time with my two adult men without interruptions from their friends and jobs.
