Never a dull moment in the Anderson household! Bethany is on a 2 week fall break. Normally working at the hospital on the weekends prevents her from spending much time with her sisters. But due to the recent swine flu outbreaks, the teen volunteer program has been temporarily suspended. So yesterday I dropped her off at Mines to visit Laura for a couple of days. They were going to do some Christmas shopping and have girl time since Laura is also on her fall break. Tomorrow she'll take Bethany over to Amy's campus to spend a few days. All this to say that Brian and I are getting a small taste of what the "empty nest" thing feels like. He arrived home last night from San Diego and will leave again tomorrow morning for LA, but today we had one glorious day to just enjoy being together. We caught up on some things around the house and did a little bit of shopping ourselves. Mostly, though, we just caught up on all that's been going on with his job and things around home. It was nice to relax and talk. I love spending time with Brian. I think we'll be good at the empty nest thing someday. (Not too soon, though, thankfully!)
FYI...I'm reading an interesting series by Francine Rivers about women in the lineage of Christ. Although this is a fictional account based on Biblical facts, I found it quite fascinating. Now I'm excited about studying these women whose names I've heard but never really studied before. So far I've read about Tamar, Bathsheba, and Mary. Two more books to go.
