Actually "Elton" left the house. My oldest is on her yearly adventure with a friend. They are driving down the coast to surf other waters. This maybe their last year to do this for a while. OD will (hopefully) be going into her Respiratory Therapist Program after this summer. IF she can get the funds! It's going to cost her about $9000 for the classes, books, fees, etc. and she was turned down for a loan. The $9000 doesn't cover the cost of living and transportation to and from school. She will be going full time, so working a part time job like she's been doing won't cut it, and she needs to study, study, study, so a job is going to be hard to do.
I'm hoping her grandparents will come through for her. All they have to do is
co-sign, after she starts working she will pay the loan. (Which is a scary thought, because what if she doesn't get work after she graduates???
Anyway, I hope they have a blast on their three week trek down the coast. (Her friend's parents are going too, so I know they are relatively safe...else I would have been a little nervous)
She's been gone for under twenty four hours and I already miss her!

I wish I was in OD's shoes! Sounds like so much fun :)
Respiratory Therapy? She will get hired but you're right. She'll have to work hard. Come on Grandparents and why can't she get a loan? That sucks.
I loved the photo!! She's so cute :)
I hope she has a wonderful time, and that you don't worry to much while she's gone. The house does seem empty when they leave though. When my DD was home I wished a number of times she'd be a bit quieter, now she's gone I can't believe I minded the noise. I'll keep my fingers crossed for her on the RT program.

Girl road trips rock!!! I still have terrific memories of being with my friends, free and on the open road!
Will be praying for her to find the means to follow her dream!
Ok here I go again. They won't give her a loan???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? And our newly elected President wants everyone to go to college, yet your daughter and MY daughter can not get loans. I can't pay it, YOU can't pay it. So the middle income hard working people get SCREWED AGAIN!!!!! I sometimes really hate it that I worked hard all my life (three jobs at the end!) just to have a nice style of living. should just sponge off society, and get my kids' education for free.
But you bet I am darn proud of your daughter and mine. Good for them!
