So, I've hit the stage of life when I have to drop a child off to college. I don't know how that's possible I'm only 22? :)
The truth is that it's time and there is NOTHING I can do about it but embrace it. I did my best. I tried to do a quiet family movie night but when you come from a big close family it turns into a celebratory dinner party
Packed and ready to go.
I wasn't but nobody was asking me anymore. Suddenly I felt so insignificant in her world but that's me and my dramatics.
More of my drama, I had to capture the stillness of the morning before departure
Let's not forget to add the sunrise as we did the drive up. I actually held it together amazing through all of this. No crying, nothing. Well, not yet at least.
Then we arrived at this place that has stolen my daughter, I mean let's just call it what it is? THIEVES! We actually pay for this? We are so twisted.
It was time to check out the new apartment. I was mentally prepared to clean, work, set up, and be exhausted. It went pretty smooth I must say and my husband was an angel during this time. I was emotionally unstable so he had to deal with a lot.
The before...
The after...
After all the shopping for supplies, shelves, and food was done it was time to tour the campus. I have to say it truly is a gorgeous campus and a cute college town.
The best way to cover 7 miles is an electric scooter!! #electricscootersrock
What's a tour without scoping out what will be our favorite coffee shops? #opus #maudes You guys rock.
So now she's gone and I'm left to deal. This sucks but I'm blessed with family and friends who have been checking in on me.
I'm here waiting for you to hold you, with a Bloody Mary in hand when you're ready. It's Martha, BTW, as if you didn't know from that comment :)
