hello ladies,
you will notice i am not using capitol letters. the reason is ...i am typing on mark's laptop. whoever designed these laptops put the delete button too close to the shift button. anyway, when i shift i hit the delete button and wipe out whole paragraphs. then i get frustrated and i just quit typing. if i quit using the shift i'm back on the page again!
well, we are now empty nesters. seth seems to be doing well in Mexico; however, i think he could use a few prayers for his spanish. his email this morning said he is improving. it is amazing how much better my attitude is when we get an email from him.
lizzie called after her first 2 classes as she was walking to the bookstore to pay out major money for books that i hope she reads!! in her first class, she turned around and saw someone from the bluffton young group. she was pretty excited to be in a class with someone she knew. our house is much quiet without her chatter.
klint and sarah have been stopping over more often. i think sarah feels sorry for us! we will get to a new normal pretty soon.
last night i went to bed and i thought about all you young mothers with little kids. i thought of all the times i would have loved to have one night with mark without kids... and here i was and i was too sad to appreciate it!! friends that have been through this stage say i'll get over it really fast and may not want them back next summer!!
well, i'm blabbing on and on and saying next to nothing. have a great week! and remember you are loved.

Hey Aunt Barb,
Thanks for your post. I'm so glad that Seth and Leah seem to be doing great. I will pray for Seth and his Spanish. I still remember the stress of not being able to speak Japanese when I went to school there as a kindergartner. My mom said that I used to jabber all the time until that happened to me and then I became much more reserved. I hope Seth doesn't get even quieter!!!
I hope you can start to enjoy being just you and Uncle Mark again soon! But I'm sure it is quite an adjustment after all these years. Probably going to Europe will be a nice change right now!
Well, I better go now.
Love,
rebekah
