First Day of School
Today was Chris' first day as a college student. He had the previlage to be woken up by his 5:15am alarm, and get ready for SCHOOL! His classes start at 6:00am so he has to be up bright and early. If you have ever had to wake up Chris or be around him as soon as he wakes up, you understand why this is such a big deal lol. Let's just say Chris is not a morning person. But I was proud of him this morning when that alarm went off and I didn't have to say a word to him to get up. He got up and got ready, and was on his way. I didn't take any pictures of him in his UTI shirt because I wasn't about to get up at 5:15am to take a picture. Sorry, but I need my beauty rest! lol I am a VERY light sleeper, so I am awake when Chris is awake, but I will admit that I was trying to go back to sleep. Since I haven't had to get up early in a long time, my body is used to going to bed late and then sleeping in, so I was not up to par on my getting up early ability. Anyways, Chris had a good first day, he already met some pretty cool guys and even got their digits lol, but that's Chris. Got to love him. The first couple of days are like orientation I guess, so it's nothing crazy yet. He did get his HUGE book and a binder but that's about it. I hope we can keep Chris getting up on his own but we will see. We love and miss you guys!!

Hope you had a great first day Chris...the getting up at O'Dark Thirty sucks though. Look on the bright side...when it's 20 degrees, snowy and icy here you can laugh at all of us that have to get up in the cold frosty mornings. While you roll out of bed to 60 degree temps! lol Have fun with class!
Love your new "About Me" pic!! You'll have to email it to me so I can print it and take to work! I need a new one of you and Chris together to take to work too!!! Miss you guys lots!!!!!
I will do that for you Mom lol
We love and miss you too!
Soon it will be August 21st....Chris will have been in school for approximately 17 days....give or take a couple due to weekends.
So....is he still getting up by himself? and things are going well for him?
I'm NOT a morning person. I can relate. But when you have to make adjustments you can.
Yes Chris is still getting up on his own... for the most part. Sometimes he leaves his phone on vibrate(we use our phones as alarms) and that doesn't wake him up, but it does me so I have to wake him then.
On his super tired mornings he wakes up from the alarm but he is so out of it that he doesn't realize it's the alarm, so I have to make him get up then too. For the most part though he does well to get up on his own.
But now I set my alarm for a couple min after his just in case, and then that's when I get up and make his lunch for the day, and start mine. I make his lunch since he is NOT a morning person. He has such a busy schedule as it is I figure one less thing for him to think about would be helpful. He thanks me all the time so it must be helpful enough! lol
Chris is doing really well in school I think I'm going to post about it soon:)
