happy anniversary

24 years and you're still the one...love to the hubby on this and everyday!

One thousand nine hundred ninety six miles

This is a revision of what Jordan told me as he found out things about Coe...he was only two miles off of his 1,998 :) It's far, college was the goal not distance! He seems pretty comfortable at his temporary home and showed me all buildings not academic. I saw the racquet center, the field house, the dorm, the dining hall but I didn't see a classroom until we had an event scheduled there. I guess his Monday classes would come soon enough.
His roommate, Tyler, is a nice young man from Cedar Point not too far from Cedar Rapids. He is playing football and will play baseball as well. He is a pitcher so I think they will get along fine. The dorm was hopping as we unpacked Jordan...lots of other freshmen and the fall athletes were on campus. I love the hustle and bustle of back to school.
Jordan will work with the athletic dept. for his work study program. I think he will be spending many hours in the field house for work and as baseball practice begins. Lots of things to keep him busy!

Iowa or bust

The boys left on 3 day road trip to Cedar Rapids yesterday. A new adventure for Jordan...he will soon unpack his stuff in a new place, be forced to make new friends and learn to manage his life on his own.  As for today, they woke up in Utah and and who knows what they will see along the way.

It's time!

August 1st...can't believe I have let this go for so long. And it's not because I lack words to say. If you know me well, you know that's true.  Maybe it's because we have had too much going on. Don't worry, I will back track and fill you in on the good stuff.
I see Sydney's blogging has been going strong. Now there is a girl with a lot to say...catch her at 20,000 words a day. We get that and then some :) especially dad these days since he gets to commute with her. Love her!
Jordan has been busy...usually not around here. Trying to take it all in before he leaves for school. Work. Friends. Working out. Friends. More friends. You get the idea. He doesn't like to sit anything out. This will serve him well at college...coming all too soon.
