While I am still packing up Christmas decorations, I am getting close to being done. I did meet my goal of four boxes tonight!
Cat Cuddles
For a cat who does not like to cuddle, Jim is definitely cuddly tonight.
First Day
I asked Laura for a first day of Spring Semester picture, and she sent this. It is two of her best friends from marching band after their first day of Concert Band. Have a great Spring Semester, Ladies!
Open Door
Laura’s bedroom door is open again. I am happy that she loves college and SEMO, but it is hard when she first goes back to school.
Last Day
We wrapped up our trip to Cape Girardeau today taking in more basketball games.
Both the women’s and men’s teams lost, but the Show Band sounded great!
After the games were over, we dropped Laura off at her dorm with big goodbye hugs.
Spring Semester starts on Monday!
Unpacked
We woke up to snow this morning. This was the “lovely” view out of our hotel room window.
Cape Girardeau received about three inches of snow. We ventured out around noon to find an open restaurant for lunch. While it was still snowing, the roads were not bad. We ended up in downtown at Minglewood Brewery and enjoyed a tasty lunch.
After lunch, we went to Laura’s dorm to unpack. The newest item in her dorm room is a small microwave.
After unpacking, we went to a couple of stores to pick up snacks and other items. Despite the snow, it was a successful day. She is moved back into her dorm and ready for Spring Semester.
Back to College
We took Laura back to Southeast Missouri State University today for Spring Semester. I was up early to make Buffalo Chicken Dip for her to take.
We left for Cape Girardeau right about 10 am. It was an easy drive with some interesting scenery. While we got snow this past weekend, the Cape Girardeau area got ice.
Once we arrived, we went to Laura’s dorm to unload. Then, we went to the Drury Plaza Hotel to check-in as Andy and I are going to stay for a couple of nights. After that, we went to the Show Me Center to watch Laura in the SEMO Show Band at the basketball games.
The SEMO women’s team lost and the SEMO men’s team won. The band sounded great! It was a fun day, and we got to watch Laura do what she loves.
