It's hard to believe my son starts back to school in two weeks. Where has the summer gone?
He's been off traveling most of Texas. Last July we attended my cousin's wedding in Houston. In April he was off to Dallas for the choir trip. June he went back to Dallas with his dad for vacation. Then July he was off to San Antonio for IYC.
I'm so glad he's had these opportunities to travel...even if they've all been to one state in the Union.
Next summer he's off to Europe for sixteen days. That's a long time to be gone. These trips have been good to help prepare him for that journey.
For now, sophomore year awaits. He's got the clothes. Today we got some supplies and a backpack. For once, I think he's actually looking forward to the start of school. This could be an incredible year for him. It seems for so long he's been swimming upstream, crashing against the currents of life. My hope is that this year will be a major turning point for him.
He's got his license. He's got the car. Now all he wants is the girl.
I think I can wait awhile for that. Maybe after next summer? Or maybe the summer after that.

Don't rush it!!! You don't want that worry!!! I know from experience. We took advantage of tax-free weekend on Saturday and Sunday. I think we are pretty much ready. We have registration still but that is this week and next week. When do you start school?
Don't worry!!! He'll go that route when he's ready. The longer he waits to better, in my opinion.
They do mail-in registration for returning students, so it is a breeze. He starts on the 15th.
