Well we did it! On Friday we moved our girl, Makena to college. It is Monday and I am just now able to sit and write about it. I was an emotional mess pretty much all of last week but had to put up a strong front because I didn't want her to know it. She did know it though. She is pretty sensitive to things like that. That is part of why I miss her so much! No,no...I can't go there!
I rode in the car with Makena and Carl and Trey took our car.
Everybody was busy putting her stuff together and in order. I had forgotten how stressful this can be. Everyone is hot, emotions are high...but we did it and nobody died🤣
We finally got her bed together after we sent the boys out❤
It was a busy day that was full of emotions. I am glad that part is over. Carl cried when we got to the car. Trey thought we were crazy, but he was a sad (I could tell). Makena loves the college experience so far and that makes it a little easier for us. She started classes today and likes them all. There is one teacher that she isn't crazy about and that is her history teacher. She said she is very liberal...welcome to the real world sister! They are everywhere.
I still get emotional every now and then. When we are all sitting at the table and her seat is empty, seeing her empty seat in church....and the list goes on. When Carlie started surgical tech school last year it was an adjustment, especially when she stayed at the apartment. That time when she was away gave me the opportunity to deepen my bond with my sweet middle baby. We became bff's. She is such an encourager and I'm happy she can be that to others. God has big things in store for her!
Much Love,
Beth
