so...Elliott has applied to 3 colleges - KVCC, WMU and MTU. He has been accepted by all three. oh boy.
MTU is his first choice. It's my last. too far away from me. When we took him to tour there this summer I wanted to cry. Thinking about him going so far away is painful...ugh.
Where did the last 17 years go?????

oh the joy....
my children are growing up too fast. Marah is already in her 2nd year of college and Elliott is a high school senior. It scares me to watch sometimes - I can't believe they are headed for the real world. They are both smart and good kids and I am proud....
Then there was a day like today...but a bit of history first.
Last week Elliott didn't feel good and when he came home he had locked his keys in his car. He was using the spare because he couldn't find his "real keys". He fell asleep early and I forgot about the keys. So I let him sleep in the next day and when he decided he felt better to go to school, he realized the keys were in the car. Bob is at work, I don't have a key, and the other spare is with Marah at AQ. Elliott decides to mow the every growing lawn and in the process there is a huge CLUNK and guess what? He found the "real keys". Chewed them up, bent them, broke them. UGH.
This past weekend was the Portage Cross Country Invitational and when he was cleaning up after, someone took his sweats with his keys and wallet. He borrows Bob's spare to get to school today - got his keys back and wallet back.
He comes home from school today and proceeds to lock BOTH SETS OF KEYS in the car.
UGH.
Seriously - would you want that child going to Michigan Tech next year. At this time my vote is NO.
