Nikki's First Day of College 8-25-08
I don't want to say that Nikki is all grown up and living on her own and doesn't need her mommy anymore...but I was starting to believe it until this morning as she was on her way to her very 1st class she called mommy (I think to make me feel needed) to ask me to look up what classroom her class was in. I felt very fortunate that she does still need me. Since she appears to be all grown up she definitely doesn't need me much so I will take anything that I can possibly get.
Carly's First Day of High School 8-25-08
Well today was the day that my baby went off to high school. Carly was very excited to go to high school, she got up really early and was ready for school by the time that I had gotten up to get ready. She couldn't wait. I on the other hand thought it would be a little easier to send her off since she was driving me nuts this summer with "I'm bored" but didn't want to leave the house. Unfortunately I felt as if I was in a little funk today. Not only is my baby off to high school but my oldest is now a freshman in college. College?? I can't be old enough to have a child in college already. Carly and I watched home videos Saturday night until the wee hours of Sunday morning and it only seems like it was yesterday that we were bringing them home from the hospital. It definitely does not seem like 18 years. I always knew that they would leave the house and I have really tried to be good and not cry since Nikki left the house but it is hard to see them off and now my baby is on her way to being self sufficient like her older sister. Wow were has the time gone. 4 years to graduation is not that far away. SAD!!!!!!
Moving Day 8-8-08 and 8-9-08
Well, Moving day came quicker than I thought. I guess I was trying to prolong Nikki moving out as long as I could but the day is finally here. We all headed down on Friday the 8th to do the walk thru and to move in the stuff that would fit in the cars that we had taken. That went very well. We went to the grocery store and then went to our favorite hangout spot for dinner (Dave and Busters). We all slept on the floors with blankets that night. Early Saturday morning, Kevin and Gil drove up with the trailer. We unpacked it in record time. We had an awesome system going. After parking the truck and trailer, we all got to work on putting everything away. By 1 o'clockish we had everything done. It was so nice. The kids love it. I havent actually talked to Nikki about her feelings about being there without US but I am sure that she is going to do fine.
College Apartment signing 8-1-08
Just one day after arrving home from Mexico, we headed to San Jose to sign the papers on the new Apartment. Robert and Nikki are very excited. I think that I am but I think that I have mixed feelings about letting go and letting Nikki do things on her own. It is definitely different. Anyway, Carly went with us so we took her on a tour of the campus. She thinks it is too big to walk. Whatever.
