Secretly excited
My oldest child, that I brought into the world, received an acceptance letter from NIU this weekend. Not that it is a surprise, but still a relief. I have no idea why I worry about things like this, but I do.
This is where he wants to go and where I want him to go to. He will be close enough to home, for regular visits. :-) Just like DD2. These 2 get along beautifully and I think it will be nice having them out there together. Just makes me feel like they are both safer.
I know it is silly, but this is how my brain works. He still has more applications out there, but I don't think he will really care either way, he seems committed to the Huskies already.
Anyway, I'm secretly excited about his choice and the location to our house. I don't know how crazy I would be if he moved too far away. Like I am sure DD3 will do. She is most likely counting the days till freedom from us. :-(

Congrats on the college acceptance for your oldest. That's such a huge milestone.
My oldest is 15 and it still amazes me that he is no longer a toddler.
It's such a cliche: but where did the time go?
Take Care and Congrats again!
Congrats! I'm sure your oldest will be very happy at NIU, just as I was.
I was just there last Saturday, in the freezing cold, cheering on the football team for their last home game =)
BTW I can't believe how much De Kalb/Sycamore has grown. When I was there the nearest Starbucks was all the way by Borders. Which would have been a good thing otherwise I would have had a higher CC debt after college ;). But now they have one right off of Lincoln Hwy, as well as a Chipotle, and a new grocery store on Annie Glidden too!
