What a difference a year makes

Today was move-in day for son Isaac at Anderson University. It was quite different from this time last year - when we moved him in for the first time (and when Jane and I first became empty nesters). In fact, this year we didn't even have to move anything, because he stayed in Anderson all summer. We just came down and took him out for lunch.

This is the darling mother standing in front of Isaac's AU home - Dunn Hall.

This was his home over the summer - The Mercy House - which is also his church. It actually doesn't look too bad from this picture.

It seemed weird leaving there this year - mostly because it didn't seem near as weird as leaving last year. I can still remember getting in the car, leaving the parking lot... and it was a long time before either one of us said anything last year. This year we simply commented on the nice job someone had done with the mulch out front (good job, bud!). :)
