They Grow Up Too Fast

We knew it would happen someday but still don't think I am ready! Riehle has been shopping for an apartment with his buddy Zach during their Spring Break week. They are giddy about it and fun to watch as they explore this idea of freedom and having their own place. As they tell us what they found we can't help but be the parent and go through our checklists of 'you know...' which of course gets the "I know"eye roll from the boys. Their latest plans are to make the move in May after school gets out, but who knows we could come home and find them packing up Riehle's truck at any moment because they are so excited to go. Doesn't help that last night Rand and I are watching TV and Riehle comes down with his gang of friends ready to go out for the night and he says "thanks for inviting me down for dinner." I had to sit for a minute and rethink the evening and realized he WAS up in his room tonight, I assumed he didn't come down looking for food because he usually goes out to eat with friends. Yep, I guess it is time to move out when your parents quit taking care of you!
