ICCC...

Big day today!!! We went with Taylor to Iowa Central Community College to sign her letter of intent to run cross country and track for them!!! Wow.....what a ton of emotions I am having right now!!!! We are so excited for her, but are NOT ready for her to leave, I think graduation reality is sneaking up on us!!!!! We loved the college and the people there, and her coach is wonderful!!!!! What a great guy and a perfect fit for Taylor!!! We have visited other places and when she says she felt a little weird around the coach.....then that is not the place for her because we want her to feel at home and be able to talk to the coach about anything....and I think this is the guy!!!!!! The hard part about her running at college for us is going to be the fact that we will not get to watch her run very much!!!!! We have not missed very many of our kids' activities, so this is going to be an adjustment for us and her too I think, so we will have to try to get to as many as we can.

TaYLoR....

Today we took Taylor to a college visit.

We went to Ottumwa to visit 

Indian Hills Community College.

She is only a junior this year so we have another year to go......

but we had so much fun taking the tour

Troy and I were ready to sign up!!!!!!

Anyway.....we talked to the cross country coach

and he sounded very excited about having her come to run for him.......

{as we all are}

so we will have to see what he comes up with for $$$$$$

It is just one of those things.......

I was so excited for her while we were there......

then when we get home and I really think about it.......

I am not sure that I am really ready for this big step.........

ya know......her going off to college........

ya know........growing up!!!!!!!

Just what we all think we look forward to......

our kids growing up and going out on their own!!!!!!

But trust me the closer that time comes....

I am not sure I want them to grow up now!!!!!!!

So all of you with little ones at home......

hold on to them while they are little.....

because before you know it this will be you!!!!!!
