Golly it feels good

What a ride this year has been! And I don’t know how I expected the story to end (whenever I wished on a star or when driving under a train on a bridge above, it was just that the whole college thing would work out okay for kiddo…). Trying to keep an open mind, keep the research going, listen and support and help your kid make that decision…wow.

We were fortunate that we were able to visit the “winning” school one last time, and she got to meet w/the director of MT. It was a great moment when she got to hand him her “yes, I accept the offer for the BFA” letter in person (and yes, we did then proceed to the bookstore for the t-shirt!).

So now she’s sent in her housing contract, is looking for a roommate, has signed up for orientation…and I’m already feeling like summer (and my child) is rushing away…but it will be such a good thing. She’s ready, we’re ready (I hope!) and now there’s much happiness, relief and anticipation…
