Dreaded this for 18 years

That is how John put it. We took Chris to Cal Poly in San Lous Obispo this weekend. The air there is so clean, the sky so blue. Made us want to move there also. It was fun to be at the campus, the students were all there with their families moving in. Chris' dorm room was much nicer and bigger than we thought. The big encouragement was that Chris' roommate seems to be a very nice young man. He was very anxious to be helpful, and was organized, unlike Chris. We think he will make a good roommate. Chris was excited but unsure how the rooming with a stranger was going to be like. They have a refrigerator filled with drinks and a snack bookcase with all sorts of midnight food items and an XBOX and Wii, so they are set with entertainment.

This week is WOW week, or Week of Welcome. Something Cal Poly has been doing for many many years. Today Chris sent a text to tell us he was going Kayaking, so it will be a week of fun. Just pray that Chris will keep up his strength and not over do it. This week will involve the most exercise he has had in almost a year.

College is an amazing experience and moving in can be quite nerve racking but he'll get a hang of it. I wish our school had kayaking, haha...Chris will have loads of fun and Cal Poly is a great school...
God Bless

Praying that last week was a great time for Chris. Being in college recruitment, I know how the first few weeks can be incredible and so important at the same time.

Trying to keep up with you all through the blog - thanks so much for keeping us in the loop. Praying for you all and missing the blessing you were in my life and are in so many. Thanks for that gift - I continue to remember fondly our Sunday night studies and hanging out with Dan.

God bless and you're in my prayers,
Daniel Ostendorff
