As I begin writing this I think the title might be used again and again. After all, this is my new normal.
I was just surrounded by teenagers! Well, their moms were there too. It wasn’t long ago that my own home was buzzing with the activity that comes with a house full of teenagers and I do miss it! I just miss all the kids. So instead of busyness my day is outlined by prayer.
Buuut, there are some advantages to having no kids in the home, like not worrying over schedules and food, not having too much laundry to do, and finding a lot less dirt in the house (I cleaned my tiny apartment in about 7 minutes.).
Another advantage is travel. Travel is easier with no kids. When we came from Cameroon to the US two years ago our flight was changed, cancelled, I think, while we were in the air on leg two of the journey! We were grateful that the kids that were with us were already 18 years old and quite capable. One of our current but soon to be traveling neighbors have 5 children all quite a bit below 18. Their itinerary keeps getting changed by the airline to include incredibly long layovers!
Before we even left Cameroon in 2022 we had planned our first kid free vacation – to Aruba! Kevin stumbled on an inexpensive ticket and we checked actual prices for Airbnbs and discovered that it was actually an affordable vacation.
I hope you enjoy these photos. (Yes, they are the same ones that were on FB more than a year ago. So they are really for the less techy people of the world.)
