I'm married to a college man...

Well it just doesn't sound as "cool" when you are 28 years old and he's 30..... it was always the "cool" thing when you were say 17 and he was say 20 or better yet 21 (snicker) and you could tell your friends "Yea, my boyfriend is in college"...though I ran through a string of loser boyfriends that likely couldn't tell the difference between college and collage, let alone actually ATTEND college.

But I digress....

My wonderful husband......a very driven man (unless it involves housework of any sort....) has decided to take a leap (as we always seem to do...and it's never failed us yet) and go back to college. Mind you he already has a degree, a great one at that (can you sense the sarcasm......being that he picked a VERY hard degree to earn at his first go round at College and originally didn't pay well, and I guess technically still doesn't if he used his degree as applicable)...

I digress again

so he's registered for college again............he is now officially a student at University of West Florida. He'll be working for an Electrical Engineering degree, as this will be a degree that proves QUITE useful in his line of work.

I am VERY excited for him, but also a little bummed...not jealous, just bummed. Bummed because I know it is going to stress him out...and bummed because it means less time WE get to spend with him, but EXCITED because I know he really wants to do this (for us...all of us) and I know he will do GREAT in this program.

the best part is...because of his employment at the local Power company, and the nature of this second degree....well....they are paying for it.....sorta LOL! We have to pay up front, and so long as he keeps his grades up to par (shouldn't be an issue as I'll keep him away from the late night frat parties) then they will reimburse at the end of each semester.

So everyone please send well wishes as I send my biggest baby off to his first day of school on Monday..............

And thanks Mah for the new school clothes for him..he's much appreciative...apparently the playing of the video game distracted him too much to express this himself in real human words rather than caveman grunts...(and to think he tried to BLAME AIDAN for the four hours they spent playing the game today)... Kids....

So here's to sending my first child off to college............
