Like a really long while...I could try to catch up but that would be a really long post so I'll just start where we are...
In 3 days we leave to start Tai on her new chapter. Tai will be attending culinary arts school in Hyde Park, NY. She'll be at the Culinary Institute of America in NY. NY!! Can you believe it?? We are so incredibly proud of her and happy for her...and sad that she's leaving.
I find myself stuff sad that they grow up too fast and too slowly all at the same time. I guess that's what happens when you still have little ones at home. Little ones who are old enough to know better but young enough to still have to be told over and over again.
These feelings are all...well, feelings...a lot of them...a lot of conflicting ones...a lot of roller coaster ones. Happiness and excitement for the road trip and the adventure that she is about to embark on; sad ones because I still am not sure how I'm actually going to be able to drive away with her still there. I have a feeling this week will go too slow and too fast all at the same time.
So Thursday, at this time, we will be somewhere near South Bend, Indiana. Half way to Hyde Park. It'll be Steve, Tai, G, and me. The others will stay with Grandma Cindy and keep things running here. I'm sure they will have their own adventures and stories to tell while we are gone.
We took 5 of the 6 kids to NY during Spring Break so that we could check out the campus and everyone could see where she was going to be. It was a really great trip...I'll post more about that later.
Wish me luck with all these feelings...
