I promised some pictures of Jacob going off to college. It was a REALLY hard day today as we moved him in. I, of course, bawled like crazy. I did stop short of wearing his baby shoes around my neck and making a fool of myself. I really appreciate the awesome ideas for care packages for Jacob! I'm very excited about making up fun things to send! I'll post more in that thread tomorrow. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of Jacob. In the top row, my 2 boys are hugging each other. Jacob and Logan will miss each other a lot. For an 11 year difference, they are pretty close. In the bottom row, Jacob is with his roommate Tommy. (Jacob is on his loft bad ladder, he and Tommy are the same height. LOL) They have known each other since elementary school and I'm just thrilled they are roomies. Jacob will be going to school to be a civil engineer. Thank goodness for scholarships is all I can say! I'm incredibly proud of this amazing man!

You must be so proud! He looks over the moon happy!

My son is moving out of state next week for a job, and I can't even think about it without crying. Good idea on the shoes around your neck! ;-)

Good for him Julie! I know it must be hard to let him go, but he sounds like he has great plans in mind. ((hugs))

Great photos! Man he is tall!!!

Good luck with things. My brother really missed me, and I was only 15 minutes away (we're a 12 year age difference).

My DD started Kindergarten this year and I can only imagine what it will be like when she's off to college! I'm enjoying every minute of her being with us now and while I will be so proud of her and excited for that adventure I'm really glad it isn't going to be for a while! I'm sure all those years came flooding in as memories as you dropped him off! I still remember my parents dropping me off at college and how we all were in tears!!! I'm sure he is going to do great things as a civil engineer!! awesome!
