I was over 1000 miles away from home for college. I only went home freshman year. Even without a government shutdown, i never found it worth the headaches or the cost. My husband and I went to a small LAC. They had a small thanksgiving meal for those who stayed. We did that once. The other years we stole food from the dining hall and somehow made a random dinner (no car, rural campus and no money). Cozy memories. I think sending a gift card and even some groceries or homemade cookies beforehand would be nice. Maybe something you usually always have so there is a touch of home.

My S25 is about 40 min away. I am really hoping he brings someone home because I feel like it will be an opportunity to meet friends and get more information on his new life!

Hope everyone gets where they need to go. I was supposed to fly to DC (Reagan) Tuesday for a 2 day meeting. Got canceled today and I am now going on a train. Grateful it was just canceled. I had been so stressed about the what ifs. And Reagan is a terrible airport to be stuck in. Always so cramped. My mom is supposed to come to us on the 19th. Crossing my fingers!
