19 years(?) after she finished her Master’s degree at Xavier, Susan is headed back to school! She is going to take a few additional classes at Drake to tag on to her existing Master’s so she can become a license mental health counselor. It should take a little longer than a year for the school portion. Go Susan!
We hosted the Valley Cross Country team for dinner this evening. A team dinner is a standard occurrence the day before a meet, but this week the meet is canceled because of the heat, which is also why everything is set up inside.
Andrew left for college this morning. It was his first time driving himself. His goal is to make it to school mid-afternoon so he and his friends can head into the mountains for a couple of days.
Over the past few days we moved Mari into college. She moved in Wednesday, we said goodbye on Thursday, then we stayed in Cincinnati for a couple of days sans kids.
We attended the Iowa State Fair this year on the first day because Rose was performing with her tumbling troup. That was fun and it was another fun day at the fair.
Elliot and Cam had their senior pictures together. Susan and Elliot had to scramble to find just the right outfits and I think it all worked out.
We just got back from a quick trip to Cincinnati for Mar-Mar and BeBob’s 50th wedding anniversary! We hosted a party at Holly’s house and invited extended family and my parents’ friends from throughout the years. It was a fun day and great to see so many people.
Gary and Kathie moved over the weekend and the entire family was on hand to help during various phases of the move. Their new place is closer to our house and just a couple of miles down the bike trail.
Lucia and Rose attended Hope Mountain VBS last week. Susan served as a shepherd for Lucia’s class. Elliot and Cameron volunteered during a different session, working in the gym with the younger kids.
