And hes off..........

Well today was the day that Colby packed up his things and started the long journey to Salt Lake to go to school. He is attending the LDS Business college to achieve his associates degree and then in which he will return to Lethbridge to finish two years in Criminal Justice, upon graduation he will then set foot in to the work force in either Regional Police or Boarder Patrol. He has got the drive to make the big bucks but yes he has some sacrificing to do right now in order to achieve that. I had to say my goodbyes to him yesterday as he came up to Lethbridge and we finished some shopping and purchased him a computer. I felt as if i was back in school and i was busy scrambling through out the school looking for whatever was on that list. By the end of the night i was fighting those tears back, every now and then he would catch one run down my face and he would say Babe, everything is going to be alright. This is a happy time not a sad, i will see you in two weeks. If i had a nickel for every time i heard that yesterday i would be rich. To tell you the truth i don't think two weeks will pass soon enough. So here i am at work trying to not think about it, but i got thinking this is alittle better circumstances then what i went through on his mission. At least i can call him and go and see him. That is what will get me through this trial. Cause i do believe channings undying faith is being tested.

Oh, poor Chan Chan. I hate being a way from Jim. Well, usually it's ok for a day or two. Then I start to miss him. Good luck with the long distance thing. Love you to bits!
