Well it's Saturday night past bedtime. Chris is pretty much packed & acting like she's really going to go through with this Tijuana thing (gulp!). Brian and Lauren are still steppin' out at the NCHS prom and related parties! They looked and acted so...well...adult-like at the photo session before the dance.

Deb & I will drive Chris to O'hare airport early tomorrow morning. Then we'll be thinking & praying for her for the next 12 weeks! We've all enjoyed our time together as a family over the past few days & said our prayers and then we've all gone our different ways tonight: Brian's started a very interesting job in the city (Chicago) this week and now he's out dancin' with Lauren....Chris has caught up with friends this week, and went to someone's place to cook & eat dinner tonight...Deb & I went to the Duffy's for a drink on their patio with some track parent friends.

It seems we're all poised & ready for the next phase...stay tuned...
