Shelly, was it not you that mailed Matt a present he wanted for christmas one year that was sold out across Canada? I'm so so so incredibly horrible with board names but I'm thinking it was you. How fast the time flies huh? From that delighted little boy on Christmas morning, to the young man who today ......
DRUMROLL PLEASE ................
called me after dinner to tell me he is going to .........
ENROLL IN COLLEGE FOR 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear I had pitter patters in my heart, it was pounding so hard, blood rushing to my head type feeling. I swear I could easily LOVE this young woman he has chosen to be involved with. She is already educated and has a very good job, but is planning in 2012 to work as well as do another degree through online learning which is a very popular option now from many of the major universities and colleges. So my difficult child is going to enroll as well and study conservation, which was one of two things he always said he would need to decide between if he ever committed to going to post secondary education.
He is eligible to gain admission in Sept. 2012 after writing a mature student test which I know he will pass with flying colors.
I have that picture of him opening that most craved gift. He was so goofy with this blond dye job (streaks) thing going on and so adorable, when I didn't want to choke the crud out of him! *sigh* Time flies huh!!
