Looks like we are going to have a Red Wolf

Catherine loved her college visit yesterday.  When she arrived home, the letter she had been waiting for came in the mail.  She has been accepted, and plans to attend IU East.  She was so excited.  She still has some decisions to make in terms of housing, but she is thrilled with her plan at this point.  She is so excited!

Last night when I went to bed she was in her bed reading, and I peeked my head in to say goodnight to her.  Of course the thought that she won't be living at home next year made my eyes fill with tears, although I didn't allow her to see that.  We've also learned that the place where she really wants to live is a 12-month lease, which means her moving to school next year might really be her "moving out".  This mama's heart isn't ready for that, but my job has always been to make her a functioning, productive member of society.  That seems to be where she is headed.
