Thursday morning, (was that really only 2 days ago?) we left the house, headed for CBU.....
Here is a view of the car, loaded up with all Cara's stuff!
Almost 10 hours later we pulled into the Days Inn (we had a Walmart stop, a lunch stop, and one or two bathroom stops.) We checked in and went to dinner. 
That was Thursday.
Friday morning we headed to CBU and got there just before 9 am. After checking in, some very nice college students helped us lug all that stuff up to the 3rd floor. We saw the room and were thinking, there is NO WAY all this stuff will fit on Cara's half of the room. But we fixed her bed as high as it would go, so she can use under her bed for lots of storage. After a couple of hours, we got the room looking like this:
This picture makes me so sad. It was taken from the suburban as we were pulling out.

I snapped a couple of pictures of the University on the way out:
We left later than we were hoping, and got stuck in this:
Luckily, Jackson was able to amuse himself on the way home:
It took us almost 10 hours to get back home, because of bad traffic and stops, and we didn't get home til about 12:40 in the morning. Yes, I am very tired today and I miss my girl, but I talked to her last night and was glad to hear she went to dinner with a couple of girls, and of course she has Colette nearby to help her along.
Today at the grocery store, I found myself missing her already. Just little things, like thinking oh, that 8 pack is enough, since Cara is gone, and thinking of how she likes to organize the shopping cart when she comes shopping with me (which amuses me cause, well, if you have ever seen her room, you would know why that amuses me...) I know she will be coming home Thanksgiving, so I will hold on to that. And I know she is in God's hands and that He sent her there, so I will hold on to that too. And I know she will be ok and have some fun along the way (ya hear that, Cara?).
So, that's about all I have to say right now about everything.
I love you, Cara Beth.
