It is Monday and I am back at work. I am thankful I have a job but just needed a few more weeks off.(ha ha) I had a really great Thanksgiving, ate too much, but enjoyed spending time with family. We don't really ever do anything but sit around and talk and wait until it is time to eat again. The kids were quite this year. Very unusual, I guess they are growing up. As I think about them growing up I think about my oldest son Will. He is a senior and will be attending college in Sweetwater next year. Not only that he plans to spend the summer in South Dakota working on my Aunts ranch.(Unless plans change) That is a long ways off and he can't just come home anytime he wants too. I think it will be good for him and I know he will love it but I think it is gonna be hard on me. He is changing some and I think realizing he doesn't know everything. We went to Austin on Friday and picked up a car for him that we found through the internet. He didn't get to go with us but was very excited about it. We let him take it for a spin to Miles because it wasn't covered under insurance at the time and didn't want him traveling to San Angelo. He was so funny, we were sitting there watching tv and he said, 'I think I'm gonna go sit in my car', I laughed and said ok whatever. He kept checking out the window to make sure the car was still sitting there. Sunday afternoon he pulled it into the garage and shut the door(since it was windy & cold)and cleaned the inside out real good. He was kind of disappointed because we didn't let him take it to school today just in case the ins co. wanted to see it. I told him that he will probably be able to drive it to work tonight. He doesn't know yet but it is covered under insurance and he is ready to go. I told Sonny we will probably never see him again he said 'well that is just a part of growing up, he has got to have freedom to make his own decisions he is not a little boy anymore'. He's right it is just hard to let him go. Will and I have always butted heads but it seems like here lately we have been getting along more, I guess because I have backed off some and he is growing up. Whatever the reason I am glad. I am very proud of him and hope that he, first of all keeps God first in his life and searches for His will and secondly doesn't forget his parents. Thanks for letting me share what was on my mind today.
