After having that “first” send off three times, I am excited for you and the rest who will be doing this for the first time in a few short weeks. Best of Luck! It is bittersweet, but ultimately, very exciting!

We assembled Dorm Mountain in our living room and I would get a little teary every time I passed by it. With my oldest, I was a wreck for about a month after he left. It was like a glaring hole was left in the soul of our family. But it got easier and became the new norm.

Now, my living room is again the site for Dorm Mountain, sophomore year, for my youngest. Competing with that pile is Apartment Mountain - older S just moved home and is leaving for grad school and taking only two suitcases. I have fully adjusted to these comings and goings, and am excited for their next adventures.
