For Nick on Move-In Day
August 21, 2013
“Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own and you know what you know.
And YOU are the
guy who’ll decide where to go.”

Go, Nick!! Congrats on the big move to UT. Get out there and take the world by storm!
ReplyDeleteAnd a hug to mom and dad as you watch your nestling fledge—bittersweet thoughts, no doubt.
Thanks, Laure! Yes, today will definitely be a bittersweet day. I can't believe it's here already.
ReplyDeleteI hope the move went well and that you're recovering from it by now! I know it's hard - I remember moving our son to Missouri many years ago. But it will get better - believe me!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this. What a big step. Enjoy yourself, Nick!
ReplyDeleteWe have 2 grand-kids beginning college for the first time this weekend. Plus one who is already in college and one who is starting beauty school. What an exciting time for all.
Enjoy your weekend, Kathy.
Hugs,
Kathy M.
Cheryl--This is one of those experiences I thought I was ready for--and I was not! We're doing fairly well emotionally, but it is certainly different. Will take some getting used to. I'm glad my son is only about 45 minutes away. He can come home if he wants to--though I really don't think he wants to right away. He's loving his independence too much.
ReplyDeleteKathy--You're an expert at this life transition stuff! Nick is so excited--he is loving his independence. My husband and I will have to get used to having him gone.
ReplyDeleteLoved the blog!!! Think of you and Larry.... :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Mary Lynn
