Jacob and Amanda:)

I know it has only been a couple weeks since Amanda's homecoming dance, but this week it was Jacob's turn. They go to different schools and planned to only go to her dance this year, but decided to go to Jacob's as well. They are really quite the pair. She is a really sweet girl. She's a year younger than Jacob so it will be interesting to see how things go next year when he starts college. That is such a big turning point in life. Right now he's looking at a college within 30 minutes of home (I like:). He'll still live at home so that will save a bunch of money. Plus, they have the degree program he's looking into. As of now, that is physical therapy. It'll be challenging but I know he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to. In the long run it will be a great career choice. He's already had colleges calling him trying to get him to enroll, but he's not ready to "go away" yet. I'm totally cool with that:) I think it's a smart move for the first 2 years anyways. He's been a busy guy working close to full-time hours at his job and taking senior level courses at school. He maintaing a good GPA, so he's balancing well. He loves having money now. Ken has helped him setting up a budget. Over the last several years he's had a savings account that has accumulated quite a bit, so now that he's working he's really able to get a feel of what it's like to have an income, bills, etc. He's growing up....makes me happy and sad all at the same time:)
