This week it really hit me how soon Kat leaves for college! Less than 2 months, less than 7 weeks! I am excited for her and scared too. These thoughts keep coming at me. Will she make friends, will she do ok in class, will there be enough freshmen in her dorm, will the Episcopal Canterbury Center be a good place for her to find Christian friends. Then I start worrying about things like, she has friends but she doesn't have a best friend -- is that ok. She hasn't dated -- is that ok. Will she keep her room at college as messy as she does here? I have no answers but I may in the future.
And then the questions about Kevin keep coming! Is he going to fill out his certification papers (apparently yes -- he did that today). Is the advisor from Miami U going to contact him ever. Where is he going to live in Oxford. When does he need to register for classes. Will he be able to find a job in Oxford. Will he find new friends in Oxford. Will he find a D and D group there (and hopefully a group of Christian friends)?
Yesterday, I accidentally stumbled across a thing on the internet where people take a picture each day for a year. I decided that was cool and while I doubt that I will take a picture everyday for a year, I do keep my camera in my purse, and I decided to start taking random pictures and writing why I took it. Most won't appear on this blog -- they will be explained in my Creative Memories Memory Manager. Occassionally I'll put one on the blog -- like today. (actually two pics of the same thing).
(My license plate isn't messed up -- just didn't want everyone to know my plate number).
These are two random shots of my car in the parking lot at TCC. I am so glad that I have the OSU magnet to help me find my car!
Another question I ask myself, "how long do I leave the Texas Tech mom" sticker on my window. He isn't at Tech anymore but it is his school. It is overpowering the O-State mom sticker in the window. Do I need to add a Miami U sticker on the other side or do moms of graduate students not do this?
Today is a day for questions. Maybe another day will be for answers.

I'm wondering how long I leave the FMHS hockey sticker on mine. I think I'll ceremonially scrape it off when he leaves for college. :)
