Summer is Flying By

Chloe and I have traveled in the car together over 3,600 miles since June 25, 2010. We are both getting a little tired of the van.

Our trip to Myrtle Beach was wonderful. The first few days I was there it felt like spring weather. Just beautiful. I think I have a light tan for the first time in 3 years. The anniversary party was great! So many of our family and friends made the trip to South Carolina to help us celebrate with Mom and Daddy.

Chloe and I attended her Orientation Program on Friday, July 16, in Milledgeville. I am really pleased with Chloe's college choice and hope that she will be happy at GCSU. She was able to meet up with her roommate and put a face to the name. It was a long day. We left Cumming around 5:30 AM and arrived back in town around 5:30 PM. We stopped by the house to let Bandit out and give him some dinner. Chloe finished her packing and then we headed out to find some dinner for ourselves before I took her to her friend, Emily's, house. As I was pulling away in my van, Emily, Chloe, Emily's mother and Emily's sister were getting in their car to drive to TN. Emily's maternal grandmother lives in TN. Emily and Chloe flew from Chattanooga to Orlando on Saturday morning to stay with Emily's paternal grandparents. They will fly back to TN tomorrow and I expect Chloe around 7 or 8 PM.

I've made a few college purchases while Chloe has been away, but I know we really need to gear up for that when she gets home. Only a couple more weeks. Long list and not a lot of time. This could get stressful in a hurry.
