One Down...

Yam is home from college for the summer. She came home on the last day of April.

Her year as a college freshman went by in a flash. It seems as though we just helped her move into her dorm room yesterday.

We had plenty of hands to help with the move-out. G-Pa, G-Ma and AB were here. They were here to help because the night before they were in town for Spud's NJROTC awards banquet and change of command (stay tuned for that blog).

Yam's last final exam ended around 1:00 PM so The Colonel, G-Pa, G-Ma, AB and I headed down a bit early so that we could have lunch at Five Guys...a hamburger place. The burgers were delicious and the excellent, hand-cut fries were served in copious amounts (one large order fed four adults).

Lunch over and bellies full, we continued on to the college campus.

We did not have to wait long for Yam to be done with her final exam.

We went to her dorm room and began to help shuttle her belongings into our truck and G-Pa/G-Ma's vehicle.

Here is G-Pa with a load.

And there he goes for another load.

It did not take long to move Yam's belongings out of her room and it was an easy task not only because of the extra hands, but also because Yam's room was on the first floor. We did not have stairs or elevators to contend with. When we had all of her things out of the room, Yam, with the help of G-Ma and myself tidied up the place. Yam's Resident Assistant came for a room inspection at 3:00 PM and Yam passed the inspection with no problems.

We got a sneek peak inside Yam's dorm for next year. We did not see her specific room, but the one next door. It has the exact layout but mirrored, so we got an idea what she'll be (we'll be) moving (her) into next fall.

It should be an easy move-in (and move-out again), as next year's room is also on the first floor.

I bet this summer will go by as fast as Yam's freshman year did.
