Caitlin off to college... coming too soon!

My oldest is going to college. That is a reality which we have been talking about for a while around my house... and everyday, it seems, there is one more reminder that her departure date is fast approaching...

Yesterday she got a letter telling her which dorm she will be living in... and even assigned her room number, and verified her roommate and phone number and new email address...

(This is really happening!)

This weekend we will all make the 9 hour pilgramage to York, Nebraska, for pre-registration... there we will meet with the financial aid folks (i'm not sure they have enough aid for me!) while Caitlin meets her roommate and attends various campus functions. We will see her dorm room for the first time, taking all the necessary measurments for rugs and microwaves and mini-fridges and window coverings.

We hope to meet her new coach as well... (the coach who recruited her has moved his family to Oklahoma to be nearer his mother, who is ill)

Lots of exciting, scary, emotional days ahead... I just hope to hang on and enjoy the ride!

Keep us in your prayers.

Blessings!
