New Beginnings!


She did it . . .  Katie is off to college!  We drove her up to Penn State Main Campus on Friday.  
This is what the packed trunk looked like before leaving home:


And Katie posing for a photo with her little sister!
Kita is going to miss Katie very much, too.
We're almost there:
There was a tremendous amount of traffic driving to the Penn State campus:
Katie's dorm complex:

I was taken by the beautiful flowers:

Off to the bookstore to buy books.  
What a reality shock when we saw the bill for her books!
Katie pointing out where the football stadium is on campus!
Checking in
Welcome!!!!!
Getting ready to leave.  Here's mom and Katie:
Mom, Anne, and Katie:
And Dad and Katie:
The view from her dorm is awesome:

Katie is all set!

WOW . . . the trunk is empty for the ride home :(
 Katie is . . . . now a Penn State student! YAY!!!  ♥♥♥

Things will be different around our home from now on, but OK!  Katie is going to have the time of her life!  And Anne is getting ready to go to school today.  Her first day of 4th Grade at the Intermediate School.  


She is very excited.
And so are we!


Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  Your visits mean so much to me!
