2023 Blue Jeans Week 35

So this was a monumental week.  We took our youngest child to college. We are officially empty nesters!  We dropped him off and went on an "empty-nesters honeymoon" for a few days and loved it!  Coming home to real life and no kids has been an adjustment for sure! But Mr J is loving school, so that is good! 
Sunday game time! 

Had a family dinner at my parents which was fun to have everyone there!

Made another cake for this month.  Miss E decorated it.  It is a cream cheese cake with graham cracker crust with a cream cheese filling and raspberry compote.  It was VERY good! 

Mr J getting everything ready to pack up in the car to head out on Monday evening.

We took two cars out--our van with the bikes on it, and then Miss E's new (to her) car. This was our view for the long drive.

Mr J and I driving Miss E car.

We stopped by and spent the night with Ben's mom and dad. It was good to see them!

We spent the night with Mr and Mrs A who just got back from Italy the day before!  So good to see them!!!  Now just missing Mrs OC and Mr JC!

Got Mr J all moved in and unpacked in his dorm room. Looking good! He is excited!

The day after we moved Mr J in, we left and stopped in our favorite mountain town in Colorado for an "empty-nester honeymoon" It was so nice!

We did a lot of bike riding!

Love the mountain streams!


There is a beautiful lake there that has some great bike trails around it!

Thanks for visiting and catching up!  Hope you are healthy and safe and happy wherever you are! Have a great week!

  1. What a great week and good for you going on a an empty nesters honeymoon! We were supposed to go to Greece for ours but sadly had to cancel because of John's illness. We'll get there some day. It's been fun catching up on all your family has been doing the past few weeks.
