So....Lacee has informed us that she will not be returning to college this quarter. She told us that she does no longer want to attend. ( This is an honor roll student! Hello!!!) She said she will go back later on. Yeah right! We all know how that one will play out.......... Holding back my tears........My insides totally freaked out when the words came out of her mouth.
I have really had to pray on this and just keep telling God and myself that I trust Him . I just keep saying , "God I trust you! "
I think she is making a huge mistake. Big, big, big, Huge! (Pretty Woman quote here.)
So now her plan is to work more and get some more money. She makes enough as it is and we pay for almost all her expenses so it is not like she is poor and never has money. We have taught her to mangage her money well and she does it well. She always has a nice sum in her checking account and has a really nice savings account AND a cash stash here at home. So I am not seeing how she needs more..............Maybe I am blind...........
I just wanted more for her than Doug and I had. I wanted her to grab it all and go for it.
She knows that college grads make on average about a quarter million more than non grads. Again, I must be blind here.
This goes without saying that I am so proud of what she has already accomplished. But..............the sight thing again.............
I had a point to this post but lost it................Oh well............
Oh wait I remember now---I did not see this one coming!

I'm so sorry! I hope that she will see what she is missing out on soon! We love you guys and will be praying for you!
Thanx!
Oh Lacee- how do I express this without you feeling like you are getting preached to and frustrated that everyone is making you feel miserable by telling you what a mistake you are making but I must say it is something that you will look back on and feel much regret. I understand getting tired of school and needing a change but enduring to the end brings you great rewards! You will have the rest of your life to work, work work. As time goes on you find other needful things to spend your time and money on, and let me tell you you get worn out faster as you get older and it is harder to study and stay focused. Do it now while you have the time and energy. I wish I had!! It is a true reget and that does not feel good!
