Warning Warning: Bragging post ahead!
Yesterday, LoLo signed with a division one university to play softball. (and to get an awesome edumacation at the same time)
When she was five years old, on a whim we signed her up for T-ball.
Who would have thunk that she would take it this far.
We are very proud of her. Not only of her athleticism and good academics, but of the whole person she is. (by the way, she gets her mad athletic skills from me. lol)
She is a great young lady who I am proud to call my own. {Both of them actually…dang, I should have had MORE.}
And to answer your possible questions:
*The school is only 30 minutes away.
*And yes she is still ‘going away’ to college.
*And no, I won’t be doing her laundry on the weekends. (I will cook for her though, I can’t give up everything darnit!)
Oh, Suz!! Congratulations to you you and LoLo! That is SO exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to LoLo! I know you are so very happy for her. You are blessed with beautiful, sweet daughters who are a JOY to know. All the best!
ReplyDeleteholy cats, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I am so happy for her. I cried. Seriously. I am crying! Congratulations! I am especially happy that she is not going to be that far. 30 minutes is kind of pushing it, but I suppose that is acceptable : )
ReplyDeleteYour family is VERY very beautiful.
Congratulations to her. That is FABULOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I could have my kids 30 minutes away, I would too! :)
Congratulations! You will LOVE her only being 30 minutes away! I don't do MS' laundry, either, but when he calls to tell me he's stopping by, I'll put some brownies or cookies in the oven!
ReplyDeleteDoing the happy dance! How awesome is this! Very happy for LoLo and her happy family. Very cool. XX
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! 30 minutes is perfect!! Far enough away can she can get a sip of freedom but close enough to you and Coach where she can still come home when she needs you.
ReplyDeleteSuch brilliant news, so happy for LoLo. Love your photos too.

Thrilled for her, thrilled for all of you. Close enough to visit, but far enough to grow, if you know what I mean.
