Well, I knew this day would come eventually. My twin boys are off to University next week. We live in British Columbia, Canada and they are going to University of Alaska in Anchorage.

I'm very proud as they have both been offered an NCAA track & Field scholarship. While I'm going to miss them, I'm so excited for them. This is going to be such a great opportunity for them to go to school and compete for this awesome university!

Go Seawolves!:cheer::cheer::hurdle:

Congratulations, both of them getting athletic scholarships is awesome! Besides the money, you also have a built in watchman making sure they study and keep their grades up. NCAA is very strict about that and I think for my son it's playing a huge part in how well he's doing. I wish them well.

Having two leave at once is going to be a big change. I hope it goes smoothly for you but we're here if you need us :blush:

Love your postitive attitude! What a great opportunity for your sons. I'm just curious, how far away is this school from your home?

It's a 3 hr flight from Vancouver but its also a 3 hr trip for me to get to the Vancouver airport from Vancouver island (maybe more depending on ferry schedules)
