Time to Spread Her Wings and SOAR.....

I know it seems like just a few weeks ago that we were celebrating Sydni's graduation....oh, wait.....we were! Now it is time for her to head off to college!
Yes, she only got a two week summer break.
She got her car loaded as much as a tiny itty bitty car could get loaded....

I was almost certain the doors would bust open on the road....


Her new luggage didn't even fit....had to ride in the back of the FARM TRUCK.
Yes, it was like the hillbillies heading to school....
I'm sure we did her proud.
Her bike is making the trip....
She gets to spend her first year at school with her car locked behind a fence Monday through Friday....ah, the joys of Freshman campus life.

She has very very important decisions to make....



.....such as WHICH DESSERT???

She isn't far from the farm life....these are the dairy cows
ON CAMPUS!



Time to check in and see what lovely room she gets....


See, isn't it lovely???
Her new roommate left her a very sweet note welcoming her to the room....

She gets to share a bathroom w/ 3 other girls.
This is the HIGH LIVING dorm....she only gets to enjoy this for the summer.
In the fall, she moves to the FRESHMAN dorm....COMMUNITY BATHROOMS for the entire FLOOR and much smaller rooms....YEEHAW!
Look really close....there she is waving GOODBYE!
Goodbye my sweet girl....spread those wings and soar!
Life as we knew it is now forever changed.....
I am going to go get my box of kleenex and some ice cream....I will be alright.
You? You will be just fine!
I LOVE YOU GIRLIE!!!
Love,
Mom

  2. Oh Traci- that made me sniffle. How fun for her - but such a big change. I love watching our kids grow up, but how bittersweet it is. She's such a beautiful girl - all three of your girls are. Ya'll done good!
