I was going through previous blog posts and found some that I had never posted! I worked on this one back in the fall when we dropped our daughter CiCi off at Ole Miss. She is now home for the summer! Oh well--better late than never!!!
We dropped our second child off at college. I really can't believe how the time has flown by! She is attending the University of Mississippi-- our alma mater. While we are so excited for her, it is very sad for us--the ones left behind. I think we felt the break-up of our family unit last year when our oldest left for school. It was really hard for all of us. This go-around, we were better prepared emotionally. She has an amazing roommate and we are SO thankful!
Over the years I have been hearing little snippets about the girls' dorm rooms at Ole Miss. As soon as CiCi figured out where she was going to school, I started googling
Ole Miss Dorm Rooms. Oh. My. Word. The images that appeared before me made me break out into a cold sweat. How in the world were we going to make this happen without spending thousands of dollars?? (Insert precious roommate's mom, Julie.) She was incredible--called us "Dorm-In-Laws." She has more energy than anyone I know and has the most amazing taste. The room turned out so well because of her. Most importantly, the girls just love it!
