College decision

Thomas has done a lot of exploring for his college options...much more so than Catherine did.  He had been hoping to major in music education, but we learned the hard way that since he hadn't been taking private lessons since middle school that wasn't really an option.  I'm still disappointed that a kid who doesn't feel he is a performer (nor does he want to be) but wants to instill his love of music in others can't have that option because he can't play his saxophone at an extremely high level.  Regardless, Thomas had said if it didn't work out with the music route, he would go into Social Studies education, and I think that is the current plan.  He had toured both Bowling Green State and Wright State, and his final decision is Wright State.  Andrew had been pulling for BGSU, but I didn't really want to get involved.  At the end of the day though, I am thrilled that he is headed to Wright State.  I love that it has dorms and meal plans so we know he'll eat, and I love the fact that it is only about 75 minutes away.  I kept that fact to myself though, throughout his entire decision process, because I didn't want my sensitive guy to feel swayed one way or another.  He submitted his housing application today and we are working on getting registered for orientation, and it's all just really exciting!
