Nycke will transfer to a local university to continue her studies, Corey will join his middle sister (Meg) at the (same) community college for classes beginning this fall.

What’s weird is to see so many other couples our age with kids in elementary or middle school.  Kelly and I wanted to be young when we became grandparents, so we began our family shortly after getting married.  Now that all three kids are adults, Kelly and I will celebrate our 24th anniversary in July, make up for the “us” time we postponed and look forward to being grandparents someday.

Congratulations kids!

Bless.

Senseless violence on unsuspecting (and undeserving) victims by a coward who chooses a defenseless target. This time it was Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, and it hit close to home in three ways:

  1. A colleague received a call from his son while we were in a meeting, he was in the next room when the shooting began.
  2. One of the kids that was injured graduated high school with my daughter.
  3. NIU was the school my daughter planned to attend. The reason she didn’t, her high school never sent out her transcripts - and she was going to be the salutatorian.

At the time, it was one more reason in an already long list of why we moved from that school district.

Today, an unanswered prayer.

Bless.
