Just found out my youngest has been accepted to attend Belmont University in Nashville. I am very pleased! 
Looks like it will just be me and my hubby this fall knocking around this old boat of a house---It's going to feel kinda strange.
Any advice for soon to be "empty-nesters?"

I only have one child and raised her on my own from the time she was 2, so I had a bit of a struggle with empty nesting when she went to college. I did two things that really helped me. I planned a big needlework project, I mean big, I'm still working on it and she's 35! And I focused on doing more volunteer benefits (I'm a musician). Both things gave me something to focus on besides thinking about how much I missed my daughter, and worrying! As it turned out, she was one of those "revolving door" kids and came back a few times! Congratulations to your son and to you for raising him! Now's the time for you to rediscover your wonderful self!
Peace in our hearts, peace in the world

No, we are still at that pre-tween stage and can't wait till he's gone! I'd say party, but I know I'd feel differently when my dude is grown up and flying the coop! Maybe you can pick a hobby to do with your hubby!
