Excitement

Jumping for joy!!

In less than 24 hours, my baby boy will be here!!

I get to spend an entire week with him!

Since he first left home for college...3 years ago...I have had to make major adjustments in my attitude just to cope with the fact that he is "gone" and doesn't need me anymore :(

Of course when I get a text (the new world form of communication) saying,

"Mom! Help!"

I get a little excited. Not because he's in a pinch, mind you, but because he DOES still need me!

If it's all just a ruse to make me think he needs his Momma, please don't burst my bubble though.

I like it in here!

It is amazing to me how quickly they grow up. Since he is across the country in school, I only have the opportunity to see him about 3 times a year...Summer, Christmas and usually Spring when I can't take it anymore and I just have to book a flight to wherever he is running in a track meet.

Just to get a fix for a day or two.

We have several hiking adventures planned, and I took the week off so I can

soak up every last second of time with him. I'm beyond excited!

I get the greatest birthday present ever--to spend the week with my baby boy.

My BABY boy who will turn 20 this month.

Wow...I can't wait!!
