There's a sense of anticipation and excitement in the air. There's a great deal of prep work involved in sending your child off to college. I like to still refer to her as my child, because technically she won't turn 18 til the first week of school. So for now I can get away with it. My daughter is going to be a music education major, so last week's list consisted of instrument repairs and class scheduling. This weekend was about shopping for dorm room bedding; and thanks to Kohls & Target we got some great deals (which is always nice). What's next week going to look like? Not sure yet ... music lessons in preparation for another audition in 3 weeks and hopefully receiving the 'all important email' letting her know the identity of her new roommate. That will be a big one. Friend or foe? Definitely a big adjustment.
At this point, every week brings a new list, new questions, and new exciting transitions. I'm finding out that the changes aren't just for her, they're for my husband and I as well.
