So we are empty nesters. We...
The following local update was published on August 26, 2026 by Jen Baker, a dedicated real estate professional serving the Buda, TX and Kyle, TX area.
So we are empty nesters. We moved the baby of the family into college at the beginning of August. What should have felt like a huge change in our life really hasn’t settled in yet. We went from college move in to rush week to bid day all in a week while I spent some much needed time with my parents and my oldest. I was home for four days before we flew out to move another kid into a new apartment at Penn State. We got home last night. August has been a month of traveling and mostly feeling in limbo…big changes happening but nothing is normal - or routine - yet.
We are grateful for the time we have been able to spend with our kids - especially grateful that they want us there for this small and big moments. It is such a weird place to be…seeing your kids grow up and leave. It is so bittersweet knowing that everything is changing, it will never be the same again, but it can still be so good. There is grief, but also so much hope and excitement. And a lot of prayers.
You guys know how I feel about rhythm and routines…it is what helps bring some structure to my days and the changing of the seasons. It reminds me that every season has a purpose and a time and change is inevitable, but we can flow through it as the seasons come. It reminds me that our lives, our bodies, our spirits are meant to change and flow through the seasons and years, but routine can carry us through and keep us grounded.
August has been a lot of change, but very little routine. Now that we are home I am hopeful for the routines that bring me stability and peace through the changing of the seasons - and of life. What does this look like for me?
