Where does time go? Is it really back-to-school time already? When I was a kid, summer stretched on forever…it felt like ages until we would reach my summer birthday in July! But now it feels like I blink and it’s school time again.
Well, I’m back to my “new normal,” as Nikki went back to college for her sophomore year last week!
She had a great summer as a social media intern for the zoo, volunteering for the HomeFront dance camp, and spending time with family and friends...she was very excited about seeing her friends, but also a bit nervous about classes and new responsibilities. She made sure to give the cats plenty of attention before leaving!
We had plenty of fun back-to-school shopping trips…but still managed to pack everything in the car! (Please do not be impressed as there were 8 boxes in storage at the college…)
Her room is about the same size as last year…
And she has a new roommate, also named Nicole…so it is Nicole 2 in her room!
As you can tell, she did not leave any space undecorated. She filled her room with pics of family and friends…and plenty of pillows, wall art, and lights!
After I helped her get settled in, it was time to go. As I watched her walk away, I said a little prayer so that God would watch over her and all of our kids....
Her first day of classes was on Monday, which was complete with a new first day of school outfit. She sent me a picture…
I remember when Nikki was heading to kindergarten and I realized that my little girl was growing up. Nikki did not cry on her first day of full-day kindergarten, but around the second week of school, she told me that she would like me to pick her up after lunch because she missed me too much. I wish I could take her up on that today! I can’t pick her up after lunch, but I did send her first care package in the mail.
Thanks for indulging my back-to-school moment...I hope you will share your moments with me too!
All the best,
Pat
