The end of an era

...and the beginning of another.

Mr Independent graduates high school tomorrow night. I'm not exactly sure how things will go from here. He's enrolled at the local college and will continue to work his current part-time job as well as work with a friend who has his own remodeling/small construction business. I'm trying really hard to transition to the role of parental advisor as opposed to parental enforcer. Don't get me wrong, there's still rules of the house that will be enforced on the inhabitants of this house, no matter what the age. I'm referring to the decisions he makes about his own stuff. It certainly will be interesting, if not entertaining.
