Ashley's Dorm at TU
This weekend our family did something new… We moved our oldest daughter into her dorm room at college. Ashley is in her second semester of college but this was the first time we actually set up a dorm room. As most of you know, Ashley spent her first semester in Ireland in a special Taylor University Freshman studies program. It was awesome! But she only took two suitcases and a couple carry-ons to Ireland. On Sunday she moved in at the actual Taylor University campus. They have a month-long class between first semester and second semester called “J-Term”. So she had to be there on Sunday to get moved in for J-Term to start on Monday (today).
Ashley's Study Cave
We took the back seat and one of the captain chairs out of the van and loaded up on Saturday and headed out to TU. Shelly and myself in the van and Ashley and Lindsey in Ashley’s car. We got a hotel on Saturday night and on Sunday we moved her in. It was amazing… we moved furniture around, stacked her bed over her desk and drawer, Lindsey and I carried the couch up to her room and Shelly, Ashley and Lindsey decorated this cement brick room into a very cool place to live! It was awesome! Some of you understand this experience, some do not… Shelly and I both have college degrees, but neither of us had the traditional college experience… so it was super fun for the entire family. Ashley loved it, Lindsey loved it, Shelly loved it and I loved it!
Ashley's Dorm... Nice Face Linny!
Today I am dealing with all kinds of different emotions. I am super happy for Ashley and her college experience. I am also a little bit on edge because of all the stuff that she has to accomplish while she is at school…. But all in all… I am feeling incredibly blessed! Thank you God for my family! I look forward to the YEARS of moving kids to college… Yes, Years… probably 15 or more years of moving kids into and out of college dorms….
Bye Ash... Miss you already!
We had a great time of dropping Ashley off at college…. She was ready for us to leave and be with her friends… my last picture is of her getting ready to drive off to find one of her fellow Freshman Irish Studies friends… Bye Ash… Love ya!
