Empty-nesting

My kids are 20 and 22. One met her fiancĂ© through a family friends on a trip to Italy. Last year. A trip to Italy. That's movie shit right there. 
My oldest has met a person on the internet and has been chatting for a while but now he's going to see her all the way on the other side of the country. It makes me nervous. At least the Italy trip guy was a family friend. This one is a complete stranger. I'm sure she's lovely but I've met her once on skype. I sent a friend request on Facebook so we shall see if I get scorned or accepted. Hopefully I get accepted and we can get to know each other and then I can feel more comfortable. And she can feel more comfortable as well. I would like for her to come out here as well. 
Being a younger parent (ok ok in my Middle Ages but I look you good for my age so I say younger parents Lolol) anyway all of a sudden and out of nowhere my oldest is telling me what he's gonna be doing. So that's a little different. How do you feel safe in this day and age of people coming up missing and a man who we know as a close family friend was kidnapped and murdered and it's happened to someone close around us. So it's not impossible. I just want whoever is going to be with my kids to want to join our family like my husband for us. 
Nothing is ever what you I vision it to be but I can hope, right?

I love love love my kids with all of my heart. My intentions are always true. 

I am off from work for a surgery recovery and my husband likes me being a homemaker and frankly so do I. I'm trying to develop new hobbies but that's not really helping.
