Growing up way to fast

Here is a conversation I had with Rowan today while he was strolling his new backpack suitcase around the house.

Rowan: "Bye Mama, I'll call you when I get there."

Me: "Okay, BTW where are you going?"

Rowan: "I'm off to college with my friends."

Me: "What?? Where are you going to college?"

Rowan: "Somewhere in Spain - Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Me: "Well, can I go with you?"

Rowan: "Sure... just let me check with my friends first."

After this I started panicking about how many years I have left with him before he really does go off to college. Good thing that George Mason University is literally right around the block from our new house - go Patriots!
