Happy Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend will be different than most over the past 18 years. Since Laura is graduating this next weekend, she is staying home (and thankfully helping us to take care of my mother-in-law and the dog) while we go camping. She said it will give her the opportunity to "be on her own" a little at the house. She was talking about wanting to get an apartment with a friend and move out so she could be free. I think it might be a good thing especially considering what happened when she was little. She bugged us all the time she wanted a brother or sister. She went to a friends house to stay for a few days during the summer. When she came back she decided she liked being an only child and could stay at her friends when she decided she needed a brother or sister. Maybe after this weekend she might figure out it isn't so bad after all having mom and dad worry about doing the things needed just to keep a house running. Oh ... and have a nice Memorial Day Weekend.
