It has been so great having Reed home from college this summer! Even though he was busy with work, we still got some good quality time together. No "real" vacation, but we did go to MT for Sam's wedding and had some nice times with family, and then to NYC to see some shows and the sights. Would have been preferable to Reed that we didn't do the NYC trip (he'd rather just stay home!) but I think he had fun anyway.
This summer on his days off, you might find Reed on the front porch swing with a book...one of my favorite sights to see. He had a handful of outings with his high school friends, and I think he also really enjoyed his job at the summer camp.
A couple of weeks ago we drove down to Harrisonburg to check out the apartment we rented for him. It's a two bedroom, two bathroom condo on the second floor of an older complex, and he'll be living with his friend Will, who he met in class last year. Will seems a lot like Reed so it's no wonder they get along so well. I hope they'll enjoy living together (and I hope he'll clean the bathroom from time to time).
Yesterday Reed headed back to school. Since we'd already done one trip, and the apartment is furnished, there was no reason for us to go down with him. So instead of us driving away from Harrisonburg, it was him driving away from home. It's so hard! We miss him already, but are so excited to see how he does with living in an apartment instead of a dorm. They made a dinner of spaghetti, garlic bread and salad last night so they're off to a good start!
We are very proud of Reed and know he's going to do great again this year.
