Technically, this weekend was our own personal Homecoming with the youngest peep returning home for a visit after being away to college for a solid month and a half, the longest time away ever.  And although he only spent about 48 hours back at home, we enjoyed every single minute of it. From the big hug/smile he greeted me with Friday night to the "Pump You Up" Schwarzenegger quips while weightlifting in the home gym, I was reminded of why I have missed that guy so much.  Even this photobomb on the road back to campus made me melt just a little bit more. And now, on a Sunday night, the nest is all empty once again.  Who knew this whole new-life-chapter thing was going to be so rollercoaster-ish?

Today marked the final successful launch of the youngest to his dream university.  Today also marked the day of the biggest HAPPY DANCE ever by the youngest's Mom who just poured  herself a big sparkly glass of Pinot Grigio.

BEST. FEELING. EVER.
