Checking in with our Senior

Where. Does. The. Time. Go.

Last night was Drake's Cross Country Banquet.  I'm still in denial that he is a Senior this year. How did that happen so fast? I know I have shared pix from his running season, so I won't share any of those today.

Here the senior guys are giving superlative awards to the underclassmen. Always good for laughs.

 

Yes, I'm the Mom who refuses to use a flash even in poor lighting...so these are the pix I got. Oh well. Check out the centerpiece.  Old, used, stinky running shoes spray painted in the team colors. On a linen table cloth in a country club. Pretty gross. I still can't believe that (shaking head in disgust).

Anyhoo, it was a great evening.

He gets emails, phone calls and snail mail daily from colleges. It used to be sorta "fun" to get this mail. But here is a collected stack (I pulled off the steps) to show you. This is probably two weeks worth...not kidding.

 

So that's our next venture. He has so much deciding to do. He has applied to a few colleges/universities, but all of that is still very much in the works. I think he is overwhelmed with it all. Senior year is crazy, isn't it?

My daughter was in this same spot last year and I can't get over the amount of college stuff we received in the mail on a daily basis! Also wanted to mention..I know you are a fan of the Greg Johnson ledger calendars, and he will have one out again this year (YAY!), just check Amazon for A Song in My Heart 2012 and you should find it. LMK if you need any more info. I've already put in my order.
