Moving On

So, Macade moved out this week and although he is only living a couple of miles away, I feel his absence. Now, this is a good thing and a bad thing. Good because he needed to. He needs to be out with people his age and experience life. This is the one thing that I wanted my kids to do that I never did. Live out on their own and have roommates and good times. Bad because I relinquish all control. (Not that I ever had any.) I have to remind myself to not call him constantly and lecture him when we do talk. He is a great guy and working hard.
Macade is going to a technical school right now to enhance his mechanics knowledge. This can only help him in the Army and out. He is excited about it. He also is working at Old Navy again and is there at 5:00 AM! Then off to school and sometimes back to work in the evening. Good thing he is young! I could not do it. I am proud of him and all that he is setting out to do. I think he has good roommates that also just work and go to school. He had a apartment b-que last night and it makes me happy to know that he is out experiencing life. It was my biggest goal as his mom to see him become a good man.
I love you Cade!

He's here!

So yes, he is home. He is well. He is strong.
And he bought a motorcycle!
He is happy and bored. He has his old job at old navy back and is looking for more work. He would like to move out.
He has grown up a lot and he's still just a kid.
I am glad he is home.
I can breathe.
