MY FIRSTBORN SON IS A COLLEGE MAN!!!!!

There was a large envelope addressed to my high school senior son in the mail today. I thought it was some sort of 'thank you for applying to our university, and here's why you should love us' kind of come-on...

Inside was a folder with the seal of the university and the word "CONGRATULATIONS" with instructions inside for how to confirm his acceptance. Oh, happy day! He even got a 4-year grant to help pay for it!

.....and oy vey, the bills begin.....



My baby boy is going to college!

College bound eh?

Heheheh. I remember those days.

EDIT: My God. I just realized. I first came to the Club when I was in High School and now I've been out of College for 4 years.

dunno yet. he's considering becoming a state trooper, but he's great with earth sciences (too bad there aren't many astronomer-type jobs and that he's not great with numbers), and he can draw, be exacting, be detail oriented, and loves figuring out how things can be taken apart and be put back together.

...maybe he can be a Lego engineer...?

Wootini! Combolations to you and especially to your son, Blue! Having things worked out with a college this relatively early in the school year takes SO much stress off the final semester of high school.

you're telling me! i am AMAZED! we didn't even get the application there in time for early acceptance, and yet, they've already chosen him.

It just felt so good to see the smile on his face when he saw the 'congratulations' folder... i coulda cried.

LOL@Silver!!! He better study the grades, not the girls!


Ah, you have a girl! i didn't get one of those... Twins run in my family, and with my luck i would have had twin girls. That would have been fine for me, but my husband would have bought a one-way plane ticket for ONE of us, lol.

i'm super proud of my two boys, ages 15 and 17, but i miss having little kids around! Enjoy them every day! i never believed people who said those days go so fast, but now i understand...
