Today's the big day! I start my college career, again! This time will be a little different. Instead of a teary-eyed departure from my parents, I will be RUSHING through the doors of Anderson University. I am so excited to start a new chapter in the lives of our family. I am working toward a career I will absolutely LOVE. I truly believe this is what I should be doing with my life. I LOVE working with children and seeing the excitement on their faces as they learn new things. It does mean my time as a stay-at-home mom will come to an end, but I have had 7 wonderful years at home with my children. I will enjoy getting back in the working world and having the luxury of being home with my children after school and during the summer. What a wonderful job for a mom!
Poor Gabe is dreading it! He has seen my brother's experience of leaving home over the past year and thinks I will be doing the same. He has asked me numerous times when I am starting and how long I will be gone. He almost is in tears every time we've talked about it. We've tried to explain, but I am sure he will not fully understand until I begin my classes. I think he is beginning to understand a little, though....he asked me last week about getting a new boyfriend. I think he believes I will be dating someone while I am in school. You know....to a first grader, school is all about recess and fighting over girls. I guess he thinks my school will be the same. Recess sounds great, but no need to date... I have found my lifelong sweetheart! Bless Gabe's little heart... he worries more than any of us!
Today is our last day of winter vacation....looks like we will spend it buying books and preparing for tomorrow. Gabe will be 7 years old tomorrow. He is so excited! I sure don't know where the time goes, but it sure goes by fast!
