All by myself...

Brandon went to England in May to see his girlfriend that he had to leave when we came here... I totally thought it would be over quite quickly.. but it's not.. and now I have to admit that my 17yr old son, who still has one yr of school is engaged. He says it's going to be a longer than normal engagement. This is so hard for me, he is a great kid and is very smart. He could be anything and do anything he wanted in life. I'm not going to say that getting married is going to ruin it, but I sit here now and so totally know how Bob's mom and dad felt when he told them we were getting married at 19 and 18. What goes around comes around i guess... LOL So anyway.. Amber is a beautiful girl, I just have not had the chance to get to know this girl that my son loves. I hope we get to know her soon.
Amanda and Lindsay are at church camp.. Amanda was able to go last minute as a counselor and was very excited to be able to have that chance, she is active with the singles group at our church and has been surrounding herself with all thesee nice people. Since she is still planning on being a youth minister this will be great practice for her.
Lindsay is a camper this week and this is her first ever time to go to church camp, I am sure she will love it..
And since they are all away this week, I have been home on my own... Bob's work has been exercising so he hasn't gotten home before 7 since the 19th. I have re-arranged Brandon and Amanda's rooms. Cleaned all the bathrooms and will head up to Lindsay's room today.. I can honestly say this is the first time in the 10 months that we have lived here that I have moved anything around upstairs. But it feels good to get in there and move stuff and clean. So later maybe I will get some pictures... I have lots to do to get ready for our vacation. We are leaving behind a kitty and a turtle.. So they have to be babysat and ready. I still have to mow the yard also. So.. I better get going...
