Moving Day...

Wheat moved in to college today. I met him, my sister and my other two nephews around 9:15 this morning. We got him moved in pretty fast. I was then in charge of hanging up his shirts. He has more clothes than I do!

He's living in a suite. There are four of them and they each have their own room. There are two bathrooms and he's sharing one with Seth Michael. (Yes, I will refer to him by his first and middle name.) The other guys will be known and TJ and CO.

Wheat seemed a little nervous. It's a big step. My sister was really having a hard time. I ended up leaving before she did because I figured she would need some time with Wheat. I'm only 3 miles away from the boys, so I'm hoping to see them more. Classes start on Monday and I think the boys are ready to just relax. They have some mandatory meetings that they were grumbling about, but I think they'll have a good time.

I can't believe Wheat's a college guy name. It seems only yesterday that he was starting school...

The college stories are sure to be good and I'll be watching my sister to make sure she's doing okay. Jordy is moving to Wheat's room (it's way bigger) but he told me that we couldn't talk about it in front of my sister. We'll see how that works out.

I found out today that Jordy will be starting Varsity football in a couple weeks. He's going to be a freshman so it's really exciting. He's excited but trying to play it cool. I guess that's how he 'rolls'...

More later....

Should have...

So I should have posted a blog on Sunday. It was a pretty good weekend. Saturday I headed down home to spend some time with my mom. The drive down was perfect. It was late morning, early afternoon, it was cloudy but not cold. I had the top down on the Mazda and Tom Petty in the CD player. I took the back curvy roads (which were MADE for my car) and it was one of the most relaxing drives I've ever had. I was in such a good mood when I got down there.

On Saturday night I took Jake and Jordy to the movies. Jordy had seen it already (The Dark Knight) but Jake hadn't. He was a little freaked out by it, which is understandable because it freaked me out a little too. I took them home and hung out with my sister and brother-in-law in the party garage for a while and then back to my mom's place to watch some Olympics.

Sunday my mom and I just hung out, had lunch, did a little shopping and then to my sister's for a grill out. She was grilling out for the senior boys who were leaving for college this week. It was a great time.

Wheat is moving into college tomorrow. I'm taking the day off to help and to offer my sister some support. It won't be evident that I'm supporting her to anyone, just to her. It's a silent, just being there thing. He'll be three minutes from me so I'm hoping to see him more often.

Football will starts in two weeks. There's a chance that Jordy will be playing some varsity ball this year as a freshman. I'm so proud of him and all the hard work he has done to get to this place. It will be fun to watch him this year.

Now to work. I took the new job and I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I'm still doing my old job until I get someone hired to take it. I got a new phone last night to go with my new job. It's a fancy blackberry. Now if someone will just show me how to use it! We'll see how it goes and I'm sure I'll have a lot more to say about it. I know it will be fine, but ... well ... you know.

Brently has been under the weather and is even going to the doctor today which he NEVER does. I'm sure it's fine, but I think it will give him a piece of mind to know that he doesn't have some rare weird disease!

Until next time....
