He flew the coop

The time has finally come and Jake has flown the coop.  I can write without trepidation, only happiness and excitement.

We left home around 11:00 a.m.

That's the kids, following us.

After a quick stop at the gas station, Jake lead the way to the dorm.

I forgot to take a before pic but it was basically this...

on the other side of the room.

We raised his bed as much as we could.

It was enough for his fridge, microwave, dresser 

and some miscellaneous items.

And he didn't waste any time getting unpacked and settled.

All he wanted on the walls was a couple Command hooks.

And a few last pictures  

Annie, Jake and Deacon

They insisted on this.

No, I don't understand it.

A family pic.

Yep, all smiles!

His bike was the first on the rack.

In front of his dorm, Scanlon Hall.

His address is:

MWSU

Jacob Diemer, Scanlon Hall, Rm 311A

4525 Downs Dr

St. Joseph MO  64507

We weren't able to stay long.  We grabbed a quick lunch with Jake then we took our exit. Annie and Deacon had to work at 4:00. 

I was thankful we didn't have a long, awkward, drawn out goodbye.  This was short and sweet. He gave each of us a hug then we went one way and we went the other.

I'm so proud of my brave boy!
