Dropped my oldest off at college last weekend. No tears, just proud and grateful!
Thought I’d share some photo highlights from our exciting, exhausting weekend on The Hilltop.

Thanks SO much for sharing these great pictures of a truly memorable and happy event! I know Ben will do wonderfully well at Georgetown. I am so thrilled he was able to attend the school of his dreams! 🙂 Kristina
Thank you, Kristina, I’m so glad you enjoyed the pics! I know you agree that it all just goes so fast! 🙂
Andrea –
This brought tears to my eyes…I may have to have you come with me when it is time in three years to drop Christopher off somewhere…
Awww…you’re so sweet. I have to admit, the anticipation of leaving him was a lot worse than the actual goodbye hug. No worries…you done good, Mama, and you will feel confident and proud sending him off into the world in a few years! Hugs xo
