Well, Macy has gone back to college. The house seems so quiet. I'm so happy where she is, though. This was a tweet the other day from Ouachita....."For the fourth straight year, Ouachita Baptist University has been ranked the No. 1 Regional College in the South by U.S. News & World Report." I'm glad Macy is at a good school!! Here are some pictures.
Macy and I went to see Nanny McPhee on Friday and then went to Bravo, which was EXCELLENT!! Macy got the best steak I have ever tasted. It was dripping in butter sauce!! SO good!
I got some kind of seafood dish that wasn't my favorite. Next time, I'll get what Macy got. The atmosphere was great, though.
For those of you who saw my last blog post, look at the difference in Macy's room!! Here's a picture of it before. I can actually see the floor!! I think Charlie Bear knew she was about to leave because that's the only time her room is clean. :)
We left our house around 1:30 and headed to Arkadoo. :) I forgot to get a picture of Macy's room before we started moving it around. I got one the second I remembered to, though...so here's a kind of before picture. Macy is in the new dorm this year and it's really pretty!!! Here Lamar and Ryan are stacking the 2 desks on top of each other. Macy's roommate had an injury so she couldn't come to college this semester so for now Macy has a room to herself. She's excited about it...who wouldn't be?!
Andy always comes and helps us move Macy in.....she's such a sweet friend! We saw Abby there, too, and went and got ice cream with her...even though she didn't eat any. :) Addy and Ryan helped, too, which was REALLY nice of them...they had to travel 4 hours with carpet and cinder blocks (that we found out aren't allowed in the new dorm) in the back of his truck. We ended up not using the carpet, either...the wood floors were too pretty to cover up.
Her room all finished. :)
Her cute little chair.
I love her desk area.
The whole room...still have to get curtains.
Andy and May May. :)
Cute little desk.
Same pillows as last year but I love them! :)
Awesome bathroom!! Macy gets her own sink!! :) YAY!!! Pretty!!
Macy's little suite...when you walk in, the bathroom and sinks are to the right and her dorm room is to the left...they have their own little area. They've got it made!
Saying goodbye. :( Good thing she's just an hour away, especially since she forgot ALL her hang up clothes!!!
Charlie Bear and I sent this picture to Macy today to tell her we missed her. Charlie Bear is frowning...he's usually smiling. He loved having Macy home this summer. He would go outside her door every morning to say good morning to her. He would whine outside her door to let her know he was there. I felt so bad because when we got home last night, CB didn't greet us at the door. I found him in the office having a seizure. It makes me so sad to see him get older. He was okay after a few minutes. I felt so bad, though, because he loves to greet us at the door and he couldn't move when he saw our car pull in through the office window. I sure do love my sweet guy! His birthday is in a month...he'll be 11 years old. He sure has been a great friend.
We should have a little bit cooler temperatures this week.
The high on Thursday is only 89!! WOO-HOO!! This heat has been horrible this summer. I've gotten a heat rash from exercising out in it. I have never in my life been so excited for cooler weather. A few weeks ago when I was walking at 7:45 pm, the heat index was 111!!!! I just want to be able to enjoy being outside again...being outdoors in God's creation is one of my favorite things and it's just been too hot lately to enjoy it very much. Well, I need to go work on getting more things together to give away....there is a truck coming tomorrow to our neighborhood and all we have to do is put our give aways out of the curb. I organized the linen closet this weekend (cannot believe I didn't take before/after pictures...it was impressive, believe me!) and have a lot of sheets, blankets, etc. to give away. I'm going to slowly organize and get give aways together over the next few weeks. That way, next time when the truck comes, I'll have a lot of stuff for them..AND I'll be more organized!!!
More later! :)
