One week to go :whee:

We'll be empty-nesters soon!

Daughter heads off the college next week. We're all driving out next Thursday afternoon and staying the night at a vrbo near campus. She moves into her dorm next Friday morning.

I've been excited for her for the past few months, once she decided to go to a four-year university. She had been apprehensive, but got excited about college after new-student orientation about 5 weeks ago. She's starting to get nervous now that it's close. I'm just now starting to freak out a bit. At least she'll only be a 3 hour drive away.

Also, Go Cats!

Congrats! Seems like yesterday you were posting about her as a little kid and now she's off to college. Crazy!
I know you'll miss her like crazy! When DD moved three hours away, we burned up the roads. Some Saturdays, we would drive over just for lunch.laugh out loud we were very glad when she moved back to town.
