OFFICIALLY: Empty Nesters!

























On Wednesday we went with Mitch to Cedar City to help him move into his new dorm room in Cedar Hall on the SUU campus. He is the first occupant of this brand new apartment and has 3 great roommates..one from Las Vegas, one from Castledale and the other from Bluffdale. I have to say I was honestly jealous of his opportunity to begin his college career in such favorable circumstances, and it caused me to reflect a lot on my fun college years which began in the fall of 1972.

I was feeling very melancholy on the ride home and my heart sank a bit as I entered his empty room to clean up the last remnants of his late night packing spree last Tuesday! Just as I was feeling really sorry for myself, the front door burst open downstairs and in came the GRANDKIDS....hooray for a bustling "empty nest."
