Bay headed back to school today, making Mariko and me empty-nesters for the next few months! With Koa in California until April, it’s just the two of us for about three months. Missing both of the kids already!

Koa is back with the Blue Devils this summer, and they recently performed at the DCI Southwestern Championships. It was great to see him again after he’s been on the road since the end of May. By the way, their show this year is amazing!

I dropped my youngest son off at the airport today. He’ll be spending the summer on tour with the Blue Devils DCI drum corp, competing around the country. He was with them last year too, and had a blast. I hope he enjoys himself as much as he did last summer! 頑張って！

It’s hard to believe that my oldest son is already receiving his degree! It seems like just yesterday that he began his collegiate career… time sure flies.

But, he still has a couple of years before he receives his Architecture degree, so after a year of working at an architectural firm, he’ll go back to school to finish up. I’m so happy for him!

Today we helped Koa move into his dorm at UT. It was super-easy and quick, and since he’s only 25 minutes from home, we can bring him anything he forgot. When we said goodbye to Bay at Rice a few years ago, it was a lot more tearful because he would be 3 hours away from us. But since UT is so close, Koa’s farewell didn’t feel so monumental.

Anyways, both kids are in college now, so it’s a big milestone for our family. I hope the future holds big things for all of us!
