Wow, how she has grown up

I just had the best talk with my 15 year old niece. I LOVE how open she is with me. More open than even my own kids. She is struggling with how hard detassling is. She has been watching too many "children of the corn" movies. I think I have convinced her to stick it out. I mentioned pride, it will look great on her resume for a winter job, and cash. Of course, Auntie K has told her she will get an outfit for school if she sticks it out. That is her biggest motivation! She is taking driver's ed and want's to drive to see me next year in our new town. It is so hard to grasp this idea! I am proud of her! She has her Freshman courses all planned out with high ambitions of doing it all with great grades! I love it! I love you J!
