Fly Away Little Birdie

This week was the end of an era for our family.
Molly has flown the coop, as it were.
I arrived home on Tuesday night after dropping her off at BYU-Idaho.
We took three days to drive the 30 hr. trip.
When we got there, we had some memorable times.
We went to the most crowded Walmart I've ever been to in my entire life.
Walked around the Rexburg Temple, which is just across the street from Molly's Apt.
Got a guided tour of the BYU-Idaho Campus one evening.
And went to a local pizza place, where I'd swear all the people from the Walmart went
for dinner.
We also had some memories at the car wash!

So now she's all set. She has been to a few classes. Has gone to her new ward.
Has gone to the State Fair. Petted a cow. Gone to an overnight Lodge/retreat.
And had the adventure of buying all her books and suppies.
It's gonna be a great semester.

I only feel sad when I pass by her room and see it empty of all her stuff
(which happens multiple times every day).
The cats have taken over her bedroom and often spend the day sleeping on
her bed or next to the big window (I think they know she's not coming back
any time soon).

Hang in there Mom! I can't imagine how it must feel to have one of your children out on their own.
