One down, two to go...

My oldest daughter left for college today. Something that many people experience at some point in their lives but when it happens to you its hard to believe that anyone can understand the mixture of pride, love, excitement, and a little loss that your feeling.



She now lives near UC Riverside where she will study statistics.

I'll miss her sneaky, sarcastic sense of humor and her GIANT hugs that we all became accustom to enjoying on a daily basis. She is smart, tough, and very sweet and I'm sure she will succeed at what ever she puts her mind to. Hopefully the knowledge that her dad is extremely proud of her and that he is always there to back her up will make her journey a little more enjoyable.

I remember that day.

Our first is really done (out of college, job, own place - YEAH!).

Our second (also a UC Riverside student, now grad student) is almost done with his masters and is about to get married.

The third is still wandering through life, and community college. But hey two down, one to go, and the days fly by.
