hello countdown. in only a few days a new chapter will start in all of our lives. claire is off to university. this is the first step toward the rest of her life and she is completely in charge. exactly where she likes to be! i can't wait to see where she goes from here.
hello kingston. such a great town. 300 kilometres east of oakville. i think this was the best choice for claire. she will love the next few years in her new home-away-from-home.
hello residence. not her first choice, but i've encouraged her to reserve judgement. after all, it's the people who make the experience, not the building.
hello shopping. you would think after a year of boarding there would be nothing "needed" for her room at university. oh how wrong can one mama be? very. the list is long!
hello packing. time to load up the truck for delivery to residence. a fridge, even a small one, takes up a lot of space!
hello new computer. mac or pc? mac or pc? eventually she settled on a little 13" macbook air. it's exactly what she needs - with 12 hours of battery power, too!
hello via rail student pass. the drive between kingston and toronto can be a grind. often resembling a parking lot more than the trans-canada highway. via rail to the rescue!
hello skype. i'm already looking forward to the first of many skype sessions. once she settles into a routine we'll pick a regular day and time.
hello excitement. as much as i'll miss her, i know this is going to be a wonderful experience. i'll do my level best to keep my tears to myself.
hello monday. you are my most favourite day of the week. i love that you provide me with 52 fresh starts every year.
what are you saying hello to on this brand new monday?
head on over to lisa's blog and link up in the comments.
