flying

San Marcos Texas is a beautiful place. It's a cozy town with beautiful hills and an amazing river running through it. I totally get why my daughters wanted to go to school here. I'm wondering...why I haven't made the move yet myself.

As a parent you always want your kids to do better than you did. It looks like they are off to a pretty good start. I'm so glad that they decided to give the "away from home college" experience a try. It was hard at first. I was always wondering if they were ok...had enough to eat...homesick...or all the other things a parent thinks about. And sometimes they were. But...it's just like when the momma bird pushes her baby out of the nest...scary at first...but flying must be an amazing thing.

Yesterday...I got to visit my first born (I don't like to use the word older...cause she's anything but) who has decided at the moment to make San Marcos her new home. She has landed her first "live by herself" apt. To say that it's cute...would be an understatement. It's got to be the coolest...coziest place I've ever seen. She's so proud of it. We helped her get settled and I got the awesome gift of taking her to get some of the things she needed to make it a bit more homie. It was a great time...a proud moment...another happy place.

She's flying.
