I was really suprised when we started looking at school and tuition (especially out of state)--I had put some $$ away, but not would have been needed for a 4 year program especially if he lived in a dorm. But it is a fun time, they grow up too durn fast!
I really thought Adam was all set to start a 12 month business program in January, but he has decided that he wants to join the Navy. He really threw me for a loop, we had talked about that a few years ago and then he hadn't mentioned it for a long time. He currently uses 2 inhalers for asthma (just started the 2nd one) and it isn't possible to use them in the service. Wasn't what I had in mind for him. But he really wants to do this. He is seeing his dr Thursday to see if there is any possible way to get off of them--I told him I didn't see that happening, but he said he wants to try.
I know, the out of state is
. Our oldest is looking in S.C. The Navy, WOW!, you must be so proud! Best of luck to him with the physical. I hope things turn out the way that he wants, but also what would be "best" for him. See ya in June!!!


. We have one of those Mickey # if days until Christmas signs in our kitchen, but we use it for # of days until the next
Of course I don't count the day we leave and my husband does, so there is always a Discussion about that 

I'm just a little worried because it will be me, DH, DD 15, DS 12. My parents are coming too but they are driving in a seperate care (lucky them). We are driving from Mass and it is an estimated 16 hour drive. We are planning to stop and stay over night somewhere on the NC/SC line. We are due to arrive at HH on Sun June 22nd. I am looking at this as an adventure. I am going to pack a cooler so we don't have to stop for food, the kids will have their ipods, game boys ect., and I will have my book. DH and I will split the driving. Here's the problem. He does everything "COMANDO" style. I'm afraid he will be a giant ball of stress if we hit any traffic AT ALL. The plan is to leave at 4am on Sat and drive straight thru (bathroom breaks of course) until we hit our overnight destination. We shouldn't hit a lot of traffic on a Sat, right? I've heard that getting thru NY & DC are the worst and then it should be smooth sailing. Anyone ever drive from Mass? Does our time frame plan sound good? Which states have the strictest penalties for throwing your husband out the window and leaving him on the side of the road?
