Three days to go...

The countdown has begun and in just three short days, my youngest will be going away to college.  I think her major (for now) is "Exercise Science" or something like that - her eventual goal is being a Physical Therapist.  She's gone through extensive physical therapy herself and I think she can empathize and has a desire to help those who are going through it as well.  I fully expect that to change a dozen times, and that's completely fine.  Her bedroom has gone from this...

To this... (I just have to add here, she paid my other daughter a whopping $40 to clean her room.  She got a bargain, let me tell you - my older daughter is a deep cleaning/wall washing diva and you could eat off her floor by the time she was finished with it.)

We've stocked up on everything from cute bedding to Tylenol and Q-tips...

Isn't this the cutest?  She got this from her aunt and uncle - it's a shower caddy for taking her shampoo, etc. with her when she goes in the bathroom.

We all have dreams for our children - faith, strength, happiness, confidence, and the list goes on.  I, being a realistic mother, have my own dreams for my child...

 If she comes home having learned how to use both of these things, I think she'll be ready for the REAL world!
