Proud Momma

Brandon graduated yesterday from Kansas State University - with a degree in Computer Engineering. I am so proud of this young man. He's a shy guy, but was determined to go to K-State. His first year he lived in the dorm with his best friend Brady. His second year, he lived in the Jardine Apartments with Brady and another friend he'd made in the dorm, Dom. Then Brady had to leave at semester break, and Dom studied overseas second semester; so Brandon moved back in the dorm, with someone he didn't know. He survived that, and while going to school full time, continued to work at Dillons part-time. Junior year, he lived with the twins and his friend and former roommate, Dom, in a 4 bedroom house off campus. He left Dillons when he got an internship. After Kaitlin decided to come back home, he, Kaleb and Dom rented a 3 bedroom apartment in a house a few blocks from campus for his senior year. So he's moved around a lot over the last 4 years, and still managed to get his computer engineering degree! His life is undecided right now, as he's debating whether to take an internship for the summer with a company in Wichita (with a possibility of a full-time job in the fall), grad school, or continuing to look for a job. No matter what he decides, his dad and I are behind him 100 PERCENT!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
