Roll Tide Roll

One week down and Henry says he's doing great! We had such a fun drive to Tuscaloosa together...he was equal parts excited and nervous, I think. Once we got there on Friday afternoon he was READY though. He wanted to move in right away even though his move-in time wasn't scheduled until the next day. Luckily though, everyone at Bama is super nice and the RA's let us move him in early. By Saturday afternoon his room was totally done, and his suite was almost finished too.

It was hard for Yolande and I to say good-bye to he and Morne on Sunday, but it helped to have each other to commiserate with. It also helped to drink wine with lunch and dinner together everyday for the next three days :) 

I miss you already, Henry, but I know you're going to do great thing!! RTR!!!


Being the little sister is hard....
I'm so glad we made the drive together!! 
Some things never change though...LOL
Morne and Henry 
They're in a 4 bedroom suite...

This was definitely NOT what my college dorm looked like!

Florida Farewell

Image
Our last sunset in Florida didn't disappoint.  Honestly, it wasn't an emotional farewell though.  I always felt like our time in Florida was fleeting. As a family, we transitioned the kids in and out of the house over summers, and in and out again. In two short years we transitioned through different schools and jobs and friends. These last two years especially, I felt like a transient. Never quite settled.  Now, it's time to settle. I'd like to plant some roots, even if they aren't deep and forever at our next assignment. Like us, they just need to be strong for the season.  Eglin AFB, Florida  1 June 2023

Knoxville TN

AmeriCorps and the real world called.   The day after we got back home from Colorado, Maxwell was off. It should've been two days after we got home, but we missed our original flight and...anyhow.  On that Tuesday morning, Matt and Henry went to work, and Maxwell, Viv and I loaded up the U-Haul and headed to Knoxville. Viv was so excited to be a part of this moving crew...she was always in school when he left for Lyco so this was her first official move-in. There was a lot of driving, a lot of sweat, and (as always) some tears, but the three of us got it done!  Go answer that call, Moose. Go out and do great things!! Tennessee River Line Project  Day 1!
