Sounds dramatic, doesn't it? While I don't mean it that way, it truly sums up what August is for us. It's the end of both of my children living at home. They are both out on their own, learning, growing, experiencing and changing. They are growing into the adults they are meant to be. So yes, a 21-year era is coming to an end. Instead of just being "Bargabos Three", we'll ALL branch out and enter a new phase in life. Cooper with his mission, Amelia with upcoming graduation and marriage, and me with empty nesting. It's exciting, full of possibilities, and unnerving. As Tony Stark once said: "Part of the journey is the end." 😥
Because of these life changes, I've decided this will be my last blog post. I've loved documenting my children's journey through their childhood, but now it's their turn to document their life. I'm so excited to see what they do! One thing is for sure, they'll change the world for the better. 💜
Here's a few pictures from our August:

| Yes, we'd all been crying. It was one of the most beautiful blessings I've ever witnessed. |

Here's a few pictures Cooper has taken while at the MTC and the beginning of his time in Iowa:

A little different without Cooper this year.
