College Life

Everybody helped move sissy into her dorm room.
Savannah's room is huge. It has a full stove, fridge, and sink. She is only sharing it with one room ate, Jen.
Having some fun with Sissy before we leave.

It is all sinking into my brain. Yesterday we celebrated 20 years of marriage, 1 month ago we became parents of a college kid, and in one month I(Tami) turn 40. This is a lot to process, especially when I have two preschoolers and two toddlers running circles around me all day. I don't feel old but my life says I am. :)

We are so proud of Savannah and her quest to receive her degree. She started at Southwestern College a month ago. It is an intentionally Christian four year college that is about 45 minutes from our home. She lives on campus and comes home on weekends. She is doing so well adjusting to life "on her own". Tackling her two classes, Bible and Math, as well as taking care of all her physical and occupational therapies, doctor's appointments, and everything else that life involves. She is pursuing a double major in English-Secondary Education and Christian Ministries. We are ever so grateful to all the people that made this opportunity possible for her and most grateful to God for bringing her through, continuing to heal her, and give her a desire for education.
