Teresa, thanks! It's fun to hear from other families who have been through this process, as most of my close friends either don't have kids, or have kids younger than ours. Having kiddo in our mid-late twenties put my husband and me on the leading edge of our friends who decided to have families. We are lucky to have several universities within an hour's drive of our location in Colorado, so some of these pre-application visits are just to give H some insight into types of programs and different sizes of school to narrow application decisions.
shevia, I swear, kiddo is becoming much more like me as he gets older. He used to be much more like his dad!
bj1111, thanks! I like to think that I'm not old enough for that, either, but the truth is that I was 27 when he was born, so not a terribly young mom. Still, it's weird to be looking at an empty nest when my husband's brother and his wife, who are just a year or two younger than us, have a second grader! I will definitely share more if the geographic change becomes certain. Some sort of change will -definitely- happen in the next few years, but one possibility is surfacing earlier than anticipated. It's a weird, uncertain time.
Laurie, film and biology! Wow, those are two fields that don't have much curriculum overlap!
