some things do go as planned

 Another big day in our house, Sky is officially a Fenwick high school student! here are he and B looking over his schedule, which thankfully is the same one B his 1st year. Fenwick is an awesome school and more and more I see that we take it for granted. How you say? Fenwick has a rule that you must live with in 40 miles of school. Seems just like another rule right? believe it or not people will actually travel 40 miles 1 way to come to Fenwick everyday. Yep, 1 guy sky met already travels from gurnee and is on the swim team which means practices! another burr ridge, bowling brook,plainfield it's crazy. So lately it has hit me how blessed we are to get into a school with only 300 kids per grade from every town with in 40 miles. I said the same thing when B got in that this is one of the few things we actually planned for our family  years and years ago that actually worked out. Think of all the plans, goals, ideas we had when we first got married 18 years ago and how much actually happened? here are the only ones I can think of... I would be a stay at home mom (yeah), we would stay committed to Bethel church, and our boys would go to Fenwick (girls were not allowed back then). Not very many hua? I always say if you want to give God a good laugh tell Him your plans for your future. This plan did work out but only because He wanted it to, everything else? Well a nice conversation is all they turned out to be.
