He's All Moved In!

Monday through Wednesday last week was filled with lots of last minute runs to the store for things that I had forgotten to get for college boy! actually, I worked on Monday and then started all the last minute running!
Thursday of course greeted us with lovely rain! I packed my car to the gills with all of his stuff and the things that didn't fit and the love seat, his bed, trunk and desk chair was waiting in a pile for his dad to load onto one of his work trucks.
We took off for the upstate around 3:00 and made it to our little house in the hills by 7:00, traffic was not too bad and the rain stopped once we got through Columbia. We ate a quick dinner at the clubhouse in the neighborhood and then went to settle in for the night. Husband didn't arrive until almost 1:00 am! He didn't leave work until late, had to still drive home to load the truck and since it was pouring, he had to wrap all the things he put in the back of the truck!
We were up early Friday morning to go move in!

 I drove college boy to the clubhouse at the complex to check in and get his keys, while husband headed straight for his building. He was the first of the four roommates to start moving in. We weren't there for very long before one of his roommates and his family showed up. He seemed like a nice kid and he had very nice parents. 

 Every person has their own room and bathroom! I kept telling son how lucky he was since when I was a freshman in college I lived in a room about the size of his with another person and our bathroom was down the hall!

Honestly, their condo is nicer than any place his dad and I lived the first five years of our marriage! This is the housing for the 700 freshman that are in the program that he is in! I won't even tell you about the pool and the other amenities! :)
After he was done unpacking we hurriedly left to go get lunch. His roommate that is from our hometown and our neighborhood had not arrived yet, and I really didn't want to have to see his mom. I have some issues with her and I promised son that I would not have a confrontation with her.
We ate lunch at Brioso Pasta  downtown. It is soooo good! I had the smoked salmon panini, which is just out of this world! Their flat bread pizzas are really good too.
After lunch we headed to my parent's house. We made a quick stop at that big, cheap store that shall remain nameless and picked up a few things for the condo that the roomies needed. We visited with my parents and the teens played with the cat! Mom made dinner for us and husband, who had left as soon as the truck was unpacked so he could go visit some clients, met us there. After we ate we took son back to the condo and dropped him off. Husband wanted to go upstairs to see his room all set up, so we all went up and I set out some of the things I had bought for them. 
The next morning after the three of us got ready we headed back into Clemson. Husband wanted to go by to see if son wanted to go grab some lunch with us. He had to wake him up and then we headed to Mac's, an institution in Clemson and no visit would be complete without eating there!

Seems like our son is fitting right in in college. When I asked him what he did after we dropped him off, he said he went to a party. And of course there was lots of beer there! He wasn't feeling too good when we saw him! We finally said our final goodbyes when we dropped him back off. He let us know that he didn't need us to come by before we left for home on Sunday!
We then drove to hometown to visit with some dear friends, whom we just found out had gotten a baby on Monday! They have been married for 19 years and the stars finally aligned for them!  He is so precious! I sat and held him for over an hour, and I am not a baby holder!

We are just ecstatic for them! Even though they are 49 and 46 years old (I would die! ) 
So now we are almost childless. Daughter leaves in two weeks. It is going to be very quiet around here then! We are scurrying around getting all the last minute stuff together for her trip. With all the free time I will have after she is gone, I may start blogging EVERYDAY!
Have a great one! ~
