I love this soft look created with the embossed resist technique used on this card. How about you? 

Moving Day

And now for a personal update – Yesterday we took a road trip and moved our daughter into her dorm room. It was a wet and very rainy day here in Georgia which made the process an interesting one. I’ve got to say that the Cat Crew was fantastic about unloading and hauling things in from the car! So It made things a lot easier especially with the rain – only we got soaked.

We spent a couple hours moving furniture around and trying different layouts  for the dorm room with Kaitlin before putting things together. I think she has a workable plan for now, but am sure it will change again, right?

Kaitlin College Move In

Not surprisingly it was a rather emotional goodbye on the curb for us, but hopefully not too embarrassing for Kaitlin. I’m afraid this major life change is going to take a bit for this mom to adapt to – I would imagine that isn’t abnormal, right? (Larry still thinks she’ll be coming home frequently for visits.)

Several nerve racking hours later we received the call that she had went to her audition and received her results, that she had been accepted into the music program. The last item she needed before beginning her college journey  – No surprise to us, but a huge relief to her
