Happy Friday Richmond friends! Some are already back in school, and the rest of us probably got schedules and fees paid. UGH. I know it will all be good, but the anticipation and last days of it all, for me, are just yucky! I am also on the heels of dropping off our daughter at college this year is harder for me than last!!! Don't get me wrong, I am excited for her, I know she is where she wants to be and will thrive, but the finality of it and the realization that this is the way it is, makes me sad. For all the momma and poppa bears out there with younger ones- embrace and enjoy it all, it goes by too fast!
This weeks pic was on the goodbye after moving our girl into her apartment. It was a fun day followed by tears and a double rainbow!
