A Week of First Times............

Hello!  It's been a whirlwind around the house the last few days.  The majority of the excitement has centered around our oldest, Alec, but whenever you have a large family there seems to be exitement (or at least drama) most of the time.

It has definitely been a week of "first" experiences.  We are so proud to pass along that Alec was accepted into all of the colleges he applied to. He will be moving to Orillia in September to attend Georgian College for Police Foundations. He hopes (and I'm sure he will succeed) to pursue a career in Police Services.  I think he will be amazing in his chosen field and both Adam and I couldn't be more pleased or excited for him.  We have been busily filling out paperwork, applying for residence (he will share an apartment with 3 others...yikes!) and starting to figure out what he will need as he officially flies the nest!

The other excitment was the purchase of his first car!!  I remember my first car as if it was yesterday (give or take 20 years).  The difference was that it was my Dad that purchased my first car and although it was exciting it was a bit of a bummer that I did not have any real decision making power in the purchase.  Well, Alec has been working hard and I'm happy to say he researched, searched, and purchased his first car on his own (with a little bit of fatherly support from Adam).  He is super excited and loving his first set of wheels.  And I'm getting used to trying not to worry every time he gets behind the wheel.  When does that ever end?  Or does it?



These "firsts" couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Way to go Alec!
