SENIOR YEAR!
Sunday, August 9th, 2009For years I have been asked “what are you going to do when Kayla leaves for college”? My response has always been pretty much the same - “that is so far off, not to worry”. Well, it is NOT so far off anymore! In just two weeks Kayla will be starting her senior year of high school. Already??? She has been looking at colleges for about two years now. Education is priority #1 - and playing softball for college is a huge #2 on her list of priorities. Distance from me…not such a priority. I am actually ok with this. I have been pressing her to look coast to coast. I want her to have a great education and a great college experience all the way around. The result may end up that my little girl is not within a close driving distance. How will I cope???? Lots of trips for visits I hope!
Kayla made a difficult choice to change softball travel teams for this fall. She has been with the Rebel organization for about 3 years now. She loves her team and coaches, but felt it was in her best interest to make a final change. I am confident that where ever Kayla plays she will be a strong contributer to her team.
We are off to San Francisco next weekend for a picnic then hopefully an unofficial college visit to one of Kayla’s choices. More on that later…
Felix and Batman are doing as wonderful as ever. Batman will make the trip to SF next week to play with his cousin Otis, while Felix will stay to guard the house and sleep on the sofa watching Animal Planet.
