Off to College

It is that time again.....It is a time filled with excitement, eagerness and of course on my part a little bit of sadness. It is the end of summer and Jason is back to college. The summer flew by this year but it is time for him to go back. The last couple of weeks have been torture for him because he is so excited to go back to school and he thought it would never get here. For me it is mixed emotions, I am excited for him to return to college and begin a new chapter in his life but as a Mom I wish he were a little boy again. I gave him all the Mom speeches about eating right, studying, being careful and of course to not drink too much beer! But of course what I really wish for him is fun, happiness, good fortune, health and to know that I love him. He packed his car the day before and just had some finishing touches the next morning. He got up early and was ready to start his roadtrip back to Spokane.

Wasn't sure there was room for two more tubes of toothpaste! Notice SGM the farming game is going to college. Do you think he will find anyone to play?

One side of the car!

The other side!

The passenger side full of staples!

Jeff always wants to go with Jason to college! He must have had really fun college years or he just wants to eat the cookies Vicki made for him!

I think the car is all packed, didn't forget anything and there is just enough room for Jason to sit and drive. He called me along the way and then when he arrived in Spokane. I hope he is all unpacked and getting settled. I miss him already but my heart is happy because I know he is. Jason has grown into a wonderful young man and I am very proud to have him as my son!
