Happy weekend friends!
It’s been a busy time for us again around here.
Actually, it always seems to be busy, doesn’t it?
Can you believe it’s already August?
Wow…where did summer go?
I know it’s technically still summer…believe me it feels like summer outside…but once the kids go back to school it kinda feels like summer is over for us.
We moved Gavin (my middle son) into his 1st college apartment last week.
He was so excited to start a more normal year after living in the dorm last year with so many restrictions and all virtual classes.
So when his apartment complex allowed students to move in 10 days yearly he and his roommates jumped at the opportunity.
You can bet that I followed our checklist to make sure he had everything he needed for his new home away from home.
And although I missed having him around here this week I’m making myself feel better knowing how happy he is in his new apartment.
Speaking of missing our college kiddos…Anne has been busy preparing for her girls to head off to different colleges in different states next week.
It’s going to be super hard for her to come home to an empty nest next weekend…so leave a comment of encouragement for her below…I know she’d so appreciate it.
