Nick is off to college

Here he is impatiently waiting for us to be ready to leave. See the happy glow in his eyes....freedom is just about 50 minutes away! Tommy gets to ride shotgun to Lincoln...a little more brotherly bonding before Nick is gone.
We have arrived at UNL and the unpacking commences. Yes, Nick did bring his tot sized recliner. He's just that kind of guy :)



Now how do you make a bed? With sheets on inside out of course....Mom cringes and Dad laughs.


His desk area...looks functional....let's hope it gets used.



He forgot his pillow. He will have to use the dorm supplied one for awhile.





His closet, dresser and vanity area. It's actually a well laid out room.




Tommy just chillin and waiting for us to leave.






A little family pic here and then Nick rushed us on our way. Time for him to settle in and start his next adventure. We are really proud of him and thrilled that he is so happy to get started on the next step to his future career.

How did you do on the way home? If you're anything like my mom, I'm sure you cried all the way! Nick looks like he is so excited, so that's a good thing! Don't worry, the desk probably won't get used... :)

I cried a little on the way home. I find it is hardest at home dealing with his empty room. Poor Tommy now has to deal with me paying attention to just him at home.

Congrads to Nick. 3 down 1 to go. Could be a lonely house LOL

I not only cried on the way home, the first week or so Michelle was at JB, I went to her room, slept on her bed & cried some more...hope you're doing OK and that Nick is loving it. Love to all!!
