The 4 younger kids started school on August 1st. L is alone at the elementary school. B and lP are at the middle school together. It's nice to see B growing as the little brother. He's been looking out for L for the past 10 years! The next time they will be in school together will be B's senior year when L will be a freshman. M is a senior. Amazing.
P started at a new school on the 2nd. This school has a much higher achieving population. It is also just 12 minutes from our house in the opposite direction from usual rush hour traffic. He's had a great first week of classes. Even though he is having to write his classes from scratch, he has such an easy population to teach. He is loving it.
P is driving G to Gtowne today. He'll start classes on the 19th. We have worked with G to get the FAFSA paperwork and have left a lot of details up to him. He hopefully will be able to find a place to stay. It's so hard to let kids go and do things themselves.
I'm starting a graduate degree program for Speech Therapy on Thursday! I'm really excited about this field and the potential to have a career from age 50-65. I'd enjoy doing home health. I'd enjoy working with kids. I'd like to do telehealth as I age and hope to be available to visit my kids and their future families.
We've had a really crazy year. Things were really horrible in February and then they stayed not good for many months. In July we finally got some movement toward a positive family future. Here we are in August and so much has been resolved. I'm so grateful for our strong marriage and how we've been able to be kind and loving to each other in these adverse times. God did not lead us here to "abandon us in the wilderness." We have been so blessed.
