It's Officail!!!!

Went spent 2 whirl wind days in Fredonia Thursday and Friday.

He is officially registered for his class and got all the ones he wanted.

He met some freshman and slept in a dorm. He ate amazing food for

a dining hall. Nothing like the dining hall of the past. And the library

is where he will be living. He walked into it and saw all the books and

didn't want to leave. The campus is amazing and the programs are top

notch. He is looking forward to getting back for good in August.

Me I listened to different departments tell what they could do for him

and how safe he will. Doesn't help. I was pretty good most of the time

teared up a couple of times but when it came to the session on adjusting

to your child leaving for college and your child's adjustment to college and

the other mother stated what they feared and started crying it was all over

for me. I was able to pull it together and finish off the 2 days dry eyed.

Look out on the 23rd of August though. Flood gates will be hard to hold back.

I am off to take Sara to swim camp tomorrow. She had a friend going with her

who backed out at the last minute. Of course after I rented the car to take them

because my car is a piece of crap. Which now I didn't need because I could have just

taken my husbands truck which is free and doesn't cost anything to use other than

gas. Nice friend. Sara has never been away from

home for this long by herself. She is a wee bit nervous. She felt knowing someone

would make it easier. She has a hard time opening up to new people believe it or

not if you saw it at home you would never guess she is shy. She will be fine.

Not knowing anybody sometimes can be an advantage. I will stay longer

than I planned at first to make sure she is settled and meets at least her roommate

then I will leave her 3 hours away from home and hope she has the time of her

life. She will. Oh and I didn't mention the best part her friend was going to bring her

home next Saturday from camp. Now I have to figure out how to be in 2 places at once, Ian's

grad party and in Oneonta picking up Sara from swim camp.

Then its home to begin the readying of the grad party haha. Hopefully the hole in my back yard, wait let me rephrase that the 2 holes and a trench in my back yard will be filled in at least. Can't do anything about the dirt before. I haven't taken pictures of the trench and second hole but here is what it looked like before I left for Fredonia on Thursday.

That was bad enough now just imagine a trench from that hole down past the tree stumps on the right in the first picture and then another hole 5 times the size of this one. Calgon take me away.

Hair cuts await then bed to prepare myself for my long drive tomorrow.
