indsae starts today at an Italian restaurant a couple miles from home. Much to her surprise, she was literally hired on the spot two days ago, was told to show up after school and familiarize herself with the menu between that time. Yikes! She's a little nervous understandably, (me too!) but in a good way. I know she'll do fine, but I remember those butterflies every time I began something new. Remember that feeling as a teenager? The great thing is that her best friend already works there and so they will ride together everyday after school. Gotta love that.
I have to admit though, it was bittersweet snapping this photo on her way out the door this morning. I am excited for her to face the challenge of something new...step out of the nest and fly...all that stuff we've been preparing her for since birth. But then the sappy, protective part of me wants to hold on to her a little longer...can't we slow this down a little bit girlie? I thought I was ready for this...
