I talked to my sister who lives a thousand miles away, and who lives thirty minutes from where my daughter will be attending college and she was very happy to let her (my daughter) come and stay with her the week before she is to start school. Jessie wants to get acclimated to the town; where to go, where NOT to go, where to get an apartment, how to get around, etc. etc. It makes me feel much better that my big sister is happy to help. Now I can relax just a little bit about Jess going so far away.
I thought about making a set of rules, which is funny in my mind, because she NEVER followed any rules I imposed, even when she was a teenager. But, she was happy to listen to one important rule: DON'T EVER GO ANYWHERE BY YOURSELF IN THAT BIG BAD TOWN YOU WILL LIVE IN! Now we have to make plans for driving there a week before classes start so she can get settled in. I am looking forward to the visit with sis and seeing the sights, but a flash of an image of leaving her ; seeing her beautiful face as she ways "so long", (never, ever "goodbye") to me is already pulling at my heart. Keep praying, that's all I can say to my self and to God.

Yay Georgie!!!!! You started a blog :-) I'm so excited for you! Sometimes it's just nice to be able to write stuff down and air your head out. Even if only one person reads it, it still feels good :-) It's also a great way to keep up on family members that you don't see everyday :-) My mom reads mine and almost always leaves comments.... that way I know she's checking in on me :-)
