Yes... my girl has really flown the nest this time! Matt and Britton were with us for 3 days and left this morning for Portland, Oregon! We'll miss the old girl ! It's gonna be strange not having her close by us. Iowa City was only 3 hour drive from us....now she a 1,900 miles away! She is definitely "On her Own" now!
Greg and I have all the confidence in the world that she will do well and success at whatever she puts her hands to. She wants to start her own Soap and Shampoo Company but first she will look for another kitchen position. She was told that restaurants on the West Coast love hiring hardworking Mid Westerns! And she is a very hard worker....they'll be lucky to get her!
Matt has a lot of connections in Portland...he use to live there about 3 years ago. Matt will do well there as he too is a hard worker! Not sure what field he will go into...he is a very talented Graphic Artist, has worked in the Food industry and built some websites too! Whatever Matt does he will do well!
They both love the simple life...they don't live above their means and live a life as what they refer to as a Self-staining lifestyle. Meaning the live as green as they can...don't buy more then they can offered and try to do everything as natural as they can. Neither own a car and prefer to ride bikes. By the way both are in great physical shape...Matt rides about 50 to 60 miles for exercise every day! This doesn't include riding to and from work everyday either. Britton rides more for pleasure and for transportation to and from work too.
Matt and Britton have rented a moving truck and plan on taking 3 days to get to Oregon. Not sure how much sightseeing they plan on doing but they did say they were stopping in South Dakota and again in Montana. Britton has always wanted to see Montana. I hope she gets to see more then just a view from the truck.
They also have their crazy cat with them...Britton said she cried for hours on the way up here. Hopefully she calmed down for them.
They're off to the BIGGEST ADVENTURE of they're lifetime!

So I haven't updated my blog in a while although I have kept up with my

can. T...

I wish my Britton and Matt the very best. We love her so much.
The meal looks great.
We all are enjoying the blog so much. I keep going back to see what is new.
Love you all, Mama
Awwww!! You do know that Britton and Matt will only be 3 hours away from me? And in the same town as rhscrapbooker (Rachel)? Just a couple of hours away from Joanne and the other Rachel (TallyHo)?
You gotta know that if those kids need ANYTHING that any of us will certainly help them!
I do know how it feels to have your "baby" so far away tho... sometimes it *really* hurts!
