Empty Nesters Finally...

Welcome to our Empty Nest!

We are Karen and Brad Hacker, and we’ve been embracing our journey as empty nesters for a while now. This blog is a fun chronicle of this exciting chapter in our lives.

Through our posts, we aim to share our experiences, insights, and the occasional misadventure that comes with navigating life after the kids have flown the coop. My goal is to journal our journey in a way that keeps Brad from going completely crazy with my thoughts and ideas—wish him luck!

We hope you enjoy our blog (mostly written by Karen... edited by Brad) and find joy and laughter in our trials and tribulations.

Happy Reading !

Karen and Brad
