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!

Why wait to get drunk to start the vomiting?

Comfort sorry for any vomiting.

We are officially empty-nesters now. Whee Spent 5 hours Friday getting her dorm room set up. Ran a few errands with her on Saturday, then came home last night.

We're already planning to visit in two weeks. :helicopter:
