Surprise Visit

I was blessed with a surprise visit from Kris yesterday! She rode to the Little Town with a fellow classmate from BU (they also graduated together in the Little Town Class of 2008). It is a turnaround trip for them but I am grateful for the few hours I get to spend with her.

Kris takes her first college final tomorrow and will wrap up all finals next Tuesday. She is stressing about the Spanish final which is on Friday. I am proud of her for staying focused on her grades. She received a very prestigious four-year scholarship from a foundation based in the Hill Country upon her graduation from high school. BU also awarded her a merit scholarship and she knows that without the help of financial aid she wouldn't be able to attend BU. (Personally, I think the cost of college tuition is insane.)

Kris is looking forward to the Christmas Break and I am looking forward to having her underfoot for a couple of weeks. I'm sure someone will remind me of this comment when the first of January rolls around and I'm grumbling about the grocery bill! Laurrie and I have this running joke about having to dust off our pots and pans when the kids come home. Guess I'd better get my dust rag out.....
