Art school for parents with grown-up kids

Twenty years ago, our house has never been in order. Having 3 kids, it would be impossible to maintain an organized and clean house for more than an hour. My husband and I will only experience peace and quiet when our children are asleep. But I have to admit, I miss those times. Now that they’re all grown up, two married and the youngest in college, my husband and I found ourselves with nothing much to do. As much as we would want them to be with us always, we can’t bring back the past anymore. So to make ourselves busy, my husband and I decided to pursue something we have wanted to do for years, that time and budget did not permit us then.

I started searching the internet for an art school because I want to enroll myself in one of those interior design schools. I’ve always wanted to have a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. I pursued Nursing on the other hand because I listened to my mother’s advice. A nurse herself, she said that it would be easier to find a job and earn good money when you’re a nursing graduate. She was right and I never regretted following her advice. But now that I have the luxury to fulfill my life long dream, I wouldn’t want to waste anymore time.

My husband on the other hand, asked me to look for photography schools. He, on the other hand, has always loved taking pictures. And I must say that he really has an eye for good angled shots. Friends and family members have made good comments as well with all those framed photos we have all over the house. And now that he also has the time and money to spend, he wants to undergo training to enhance more his artistic eyes.

My husband and I can’t wait to get started. With our grown-up kids busy with their own lives, we can now have our lives back and do what we really want.
