A Future Penn Stater

If you see us walking around, walk into our humbly hectic messy household, or heck even speak to us, you know our family is Penn State fans ALL THE WAY!  Christian has been wondering around Happy Valley (for those of you that don’t know that’s Main Campus, State College, PA) since the ripe old age of 2! We’d push him around in his stroller, bouncing him down the steps…his biggest thrill…feeding the squirrels the unshelled peanuts.  They literally come right up and take them out of your hand because they are so use to people and they would run up one side of Christian’s stroller take the nut out of Christian’s chubby little hand and run right back down the other side of the stroller…I can still hear Christian’s childish laughter, unfortunately we were such young struggling parents…no camera to prove it!

Christian has grown up with no pressure from us (other than stating you CAN NOT go to Ohio State!!!!) wanting to go to Penn State. I’d love to see this happen.  We try every year (recently most haven’t been successful) to go back for a visit and did just that yesterday.  Memories flood back every time BUT this time it was so different.  Christian is bigger, he’s the size of a college kid, he’s closer to BEING a college kid.

  I stopped and watched my little boy walk those steps that we used to stroll him in and I started to cry, right there and then.  Yep, the mom broke down like the biggest dork ever but it also made me realize thankful for what a wonderful child that I have!

Christian for whatever the future holds (again as long as it is NOT Ohio State, LOL) you’ve made us proud of who you are and who you maintain to be.  Keep walking that right path down that narrow slippery road.  And oh yea maybe there will always be some Creamery at the end for ya!
