Hey All,


This has to be short as we are packing and planning on heading to Baton Rouge to my sister's for the 4th, and then on to Atlanta early on Sunday morning.

Hard to believe it's time to get going again.


Yesterday Kate asked her dad to take her to Walmart for school supplies.  


Kate is one serious student.


She bought herself a big ole purple 3-subject notebook for her Shepherd Center class.  It's thick and looks like serious business.


Kate also got serious today about tracking down info on getting into PT school.  Her wonderful therapists have inspired her to be a therapist herself.  She's texted a couple of her friends in PT school and she's looking at various colleges to find out the requirements.


Kate only lacked two or three more classes to get her undergraduate degree in psychology, but then she planned to go on to grad school.  That was before the accident, so now we're rethinking things...not sure exactly what she can handle when, so we're in a holding pattern for the time being.  


One thing's for certain...Miss Priss IS going back to college.


As for our trip tomorrow...I'm feeling really proud of myself at the moment.  


I remembered (after who knows how many goof ups) to tell Kate and Sarah to give me what they'll need for our stay in Baton Rouge for the night and one outfit to wear Sunday for travel.


I'm packing an overnight bag, y'all.


That means we won't have to cart EVERYTHING we're taking on to Atlanta into our hotel in Baton Rouge on Saturday night.  I'm not flying by the seat of my pants just this once...Yay.


Ok, I'd better stop lolligaggin' and keep packing.  I hope everyone has a blessed 4th with lots of fun, family, and fireworks.  Be safe and happy.


Love, Janne
