Learning how to let go.....

....for the record.....
I am NOT so good at it!!
But as time does, it marches on, and there comes a day when you MUST let your baby fly....

"Mama, you taught me to do the right thing.....
Now it's time to let your baby fly....."

Yes Carrie (Underwood), I know, but it just doesn't make it any easier =)

My baby will be turning 19 on Saturday (oh.my.stars.) and will be MOVING IN TO HIS DORM
the following Friday. 

So let me get this straight.....
My baby will turn 19 in less than a week,
and will be moving out of my house in less than two weeks!!!
Oh for the love of Nutter Butter Blizzards (his fav right now =)

So in honor of my needing to let go and having a hard time and wanting to eat AN ENTIRE CARTON OF COOKIE OVERLOAD!!!!!
We will blog instead =)

This is my boy and how he rolls.....
Yes that is a real place not to far from here that he likes to frequent with his friends.....
So cool.....
And no it is not green like this.....
thank you Photo Shop and Liza for your expertise (she is 16).....


 I love this picture.....
This is my sweet, beautiful, long-legged boy.....

 To say my heart is tender toward this blonde haired, now brown again (thank you hair dye =) beautiful hazel eyed boy is a HUGE understatement!! .....

 I've decided to embrace the craziness of college and go with the flow.....
Because I have so many other choices right?  =)  heehee

 Just because I can ~~ your welcome =)

 So these are my two lovelies....
Dak and Legs.....
Both leaving for college in less than two weeks....
Our house will be SO quiet.....
These two make it SO loud =) !!!!!
We'd have it NO other way!!!!!

 Straight up LOVE this picture!!!!!

 Bought Dak new shoes for school this weekend, and this morning told him we'd be throwing the old ones away, I thought he was gonna do a dance he was so happy....
Yep, he had run, tennised and worked his way right out of these beauts.....
But he got a lot of miles out of the old boys.....
=)

 I love this boy so!!!!!  I know the next two weeks are just gonna FLY by!!!!!
I've already taken the day off for the 19th of August.....
I have boxes at the ready.....
And a willing heart to see all that God will do in my babies life.....
I love you Dak ~~ you rock my world!!!!!

 *****
On a little different note:
Just wanted to ask you to pray for our sweet Georgia.
She fell here on Friday evening at Sir Cuteness's b-day party and messed her knee up good.
It looks awful!!!
But she had a funeral and a wedding yesterday and attended both and I'm sure was at church this morning, crutching it out, because that is the way she rolls =)

Please pray for her.....this knee thing is NOT good!!!
Thank you SO much!!

Have a Blessed Sunday ~~

  1. Oh no!!! Poor Georgia! I know you have to just cringe when people injure their knee! I'll definitely lift a prayer for that sweet lady!

    I love your pics of your handsome son! The polaroid effect is so fun! :) I know this is such an exciting but rough time for you! Just think of all the great things you get to see your boy experience in life... think of how much a blessing that is!

    Love you friend.
