Tonight, in honor of Leap Year Day, lol, we went out to dinner. Well, actually, we decided to do it since we only had the younger two kids and some time on our hands. :) Ashley was at an overnight thing with the church and Brad was overnight on an FFA trip.
So we went to Longhorn's and ran into a bunch of friends who were enjoying being kid-free for various reasons (many similar to our own). I guess Longhorn's was the "I'm Free!" restaurant of choice this weekend, lol.
It was weird, though, to think that in the next 5 years or so, we really *will* be a family of four (in the at-home sense of the phrase). Ashley and Brad will both be off at college by then. And then I started to tear up at the thought of them leaving home. *sigh* These next few years are going to be tough b/c they are the realization that our jobs raising Ash and Brad are almost done. Hopefully we've done a good enough job to prepare them for the "real" world out there. But then again, the way life throws curve balls at ya, are you ever really prepared?
