The Falcon Has Left the Nest!

Today was the day. AJ is off to great places, he's off and away. (to borrow just a bit from Dr. Seuss). He's been ready to go for awhile since he had to pack back in June before we left Germany.

Packing

Just two giant suitcases, not too bad.

He moved into Founders Hall at Bowling Green State University. Since he's in the Honors Community he was able to move in a day early which meant less lines and less traffic for us. Woohooo!

715am - on our way to BGSU

The day went very smoothly, no traffic, I didn't get lost and had to wait maybe five minutes to park the car. Unloading the car was easy since AJ really doesn't have that much. I wonder if it will be different by his senior year?

I liked that the rental agency gave me a minivan but we really didn't need it!

Plus they have these great carts that you put all your stuff in and volunteers who help wheel them to the elevators and then your room. By the time I had moved the car to longterm parking and walked back AJ was in his room unpacking.

We unpacked and organized, he was kind enough to let me help and then we celebrated with lunch at AJ's favorite place - Buffalo Wild Wings. Afterwards, we did the required run to Walmart for what we forgot. Not too bad; a lightbulb because neither one of us noticed the lamp didn't have one, a volleyball because somehow he had a football and basketball but not a volleyball, poster stick tape and a calculator because oops, his is in Germany.

We did one more loop around campus, had some pinkberry and then that was it, AJ was off to college!
