Headed to Hogwarts!

Yesterday, John's welcome packet for WPI arrived.  He read the entire letter aloud to me.  His eyes were glistening and his voice shook just a tiny bit with excitement.  He then opened the welcome booklet.  A few pages in he looked up and said,

"This is like going to Hogwarts."

That is one of the best things I've heard in the last year.

I am filled with love and excitement and peace and joy for our dear boy. It assured us that this long road to a college decision ended where he dreamed. I don't think there was any other way John could have conveyed how happy and pleased he is with his decision and the road ahead. Chris burst out laughing with joy himself when I repeated the story to him. Oh, happy, happy day!
