Catching Up with the Younguns

Earlier this year, before we knew exactly when we would be selling the house and starting our new chapter as RVers, we agreed to stay with the grand kids while their parents went on vacation. It wasn’t just any vacation, they were going to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary.

We hadn’t spent much time with the kids since before the pandemic. We saw them all briefly a few weeks ago when we drove to NC to make sure the movers filled our storage lockers, but were both looking forward to hanging out with them for a whole week. We even got to see Gaige wrestle! (He’s very good.)

They have grown quite a bit. Brianna will be a college junior in the Fall and turns 21 in December. Gaige turns 18 in October and will be a senior in high school (the last of his four-year high school career) in the Fall. Joseph, who will be 14 in less than two weeks, is going to be a high school freshman (the first of four years in high school)!

 

 

Amy and TJ have a beautiful house and yard. They’ve been in this house for about a year now. This is their first house with a pool.

Mike, Belle, and I really enjoyed the yard while we were there. The weather was cool during our visit, so we didn’t get to use the pool much. I did manage to squeeze a few hours of pool time in toward the end of our week there.

We were also able to enjoy some time on the beautiful porch swing that Mike made Amy as a Christmas gift.

All in all, it was a lovely visit. We are looking forward to going back in July. Shannon and Chris will be there, too.

Since I am no longer working, I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and enjoy the family time. It’s less than a month away!
