There's nothing like hearing the girls voices to warm this mom's heart. Today I was able to talk for quite awhile with Laura for the first time since she left several weeks ago. We were able to get caught up without interruption...huge since she's a really busy girl. And I have to say that she sounds/looks wonderful (thanks to Skype, I also got to see her.) She's happy and her senior year is getting off to a terrific start. The 3 previous years of hard work both as an RA and in the classroom are yielding great benefits for her in terms of experience. I'm really proud of her.
Last night I e-mailed with Amy a bit, and it sounds like she's still kind of flying high from her talks with administrators and teachers the other day. Today her suite mate moves in and I know she's looking forward to that. And she survived her first night of being on duty as a new RA last night. Yep, I'm really proud of this girl, too.
This morning I had the opportunity to drive over by the school to watch (across a field) Bethany ride a mechanical bull with her sports psychology class. She sure is a cowgirl at heart, and it showed in her form. A natural! It was mostly boys who pounced on this opportunity. In the time I watched, she was only the second girl to climb on. Yep, this girl makes me grin and I'm pretty proud of her, too!
My neighbor complimented me the other day on what fabulous girls we have, and it was a sweet thing to hear. But I made sure to tell her that while we'd love to take the credit, it's definitely God in them that she sees. We're their parents, but they're only on loan to us for a little while. They're God's girls! We sure do love them, but HE loves them even more.
