Ben moving into his dorm

We left the house early to get moved in before the heat and humidity set in. We were the first ones to move into Tommy Hall. It only took two loads up the elevator to #422 and we were done. Then Ben, Nathan and Nolan got Ben's bed lofted and I unpacked a good portion of his stuff. Both boys are lucky enough to great roommates from the Mpls area. We forgot a few things, but I was able to bring those with me to work today and Ben picked them all up. Moving the boys out was as hard as I thought it would be. Both Scott and I cried and if Nathan did, we didn't see it. He's a tough kid, he'll handle it just fine.
I passed Ben in the library today when he was on part of his orientation tour. I was suprised to see him! He seemed happy to be here even though it was probably boring for him because he worked full time here all summer. A few minutes after I saw Ben, I saw Nolan's roommate, Colin and a mutual friend of both Nolan and Ben; Jack, who graduated from TECH last year. Colin said "Hi Mrs. Lortz" to me as I was walking behind the circulation desk. Yep, it's offical; I am old. I hope to see Nolan yet either today or tomorrow. That will make me feel better, since he has only called me twice in 2 weeks.
