Two weeks from today I will be packing the "bus" to make the 5 hour journey down to college with a college junior and one brand new college freshman. It is so hard to believe that the summer is winding down and we are facing a new school year. I am really not sure where the time went, but I have the same feeling each year. Colton is continuing his journey with his Advanced Biblical Studies degree with the hope to go into missions somewhere far away. Carlina had been taking online classes at a community college but decided to try Bible College for at least a year. She made this decision about a month ago and we have been scrambling to get everything done. Today we bought some of the last items she needs...bedding, toiletries, school supplies. I am so excited for her but I am going to miss her tons! They really do grow up much too fast. Carlina will be 20 at the end of the year and it seems like yesterday that she was running around as a little girl, playing with her stuffed animals. That sounds so cliche but you can't really understand it until you experience it for yourself. I have gotten used to having Colton gone, now I will have to adjust to one more baby bird exiting the nest!
ahhh, such changes in the air for us mamas. Such bittersweet moments, eh? Proud to let them grow up but why does it have to happen so fast?!
