College Bound



Amanda left early this morning as Lori & Bob headed for Monterrey Bay, California for Amanda's first semester and leaving the security of home for the first time. Tyler, left Texas last week as Roly & Candy did the same move to University of Colorado in Boulder. Tyler is now experienced at leaving home and begins his 2nd year in Colorado. Both sets of parents pulled a U-Haul trailer helping their kids with furniture. This year, Tyler qualifies for apartment living off campus that cuts the cost of on campus housing considerably. Amanda, as a freshman, will have to live on campus and has a softball scholarship to help with expenses. When I look back on college years and then working with our kids to get a college education, I wonder how so many kids today can afford the high cost of education. Grand kids, give a BIG thanks to your folks!!!!
