Looks like this is shaping up to be quite some year. My daughter announced yesterday she is planning on moving out in April-June timeframe with bff and boyfriend an hour away and go to the community college there. 🙂😳🤦‍♀️😭

Although today she wants me to take her to work 😂😂

Congrats! You have taught her to fly and now she's flying

Thanks ya. It is time. 🙂 I’m just glad she’ll only be an hour away!

An hour away isnt far now, you can still spend a lot of time with her on the weekends sometimes so its good ya

Yep! That’s what she told me lol the other choice was 5 hours away so I’m grateful for this first step. That will probably happen when she’s ready to go to a 4 year college.

You could use this time around to adapt or prepare yourself for the upcoming future 🙂

Think this has been happening for about a year, but will definitely continue this year.

That's exciting!

What's the plan. Are you looking to downsize and be more mobile? Travelling? Bi-coastal living?

Your still dating the California guy, right?


Are you thinking of someone else? Um California would be same coast & nope not for years. California guy checks in sometimes & we are friends. My decision has been move to the city, here or LA, and hopefully traveling of course 😁 but I’m certainly not retired! Lol Or stay here where my mortgage is super low and in beautiful country. I am waiting til empty nest to decide what’s next though. 🙂
