A Soon to be a Hokie
My son is soon to be Hokie. Perhaps you are not familiar with what the heck a Hokie is? The short answer is its a nickname dating back to the 1890s for a student at Virginia Tech.
It is a bittersweet time for us because I will miss my little helper (that is not so little anymore LOL!) being around. Since he starts in the fall, we decided to take a day and get familiar with the layout of the university campus.
I thought it was cool that they even found bushes that are the correct color for the school logo!
I am happy to report that the campus is beautiful. The buildings bold new and old are made of Hokie Stone which is locally mined from a quarry in Blacksburg where the school is located.
So time keeps marching forward as we begin this new chapter of life. Lots of changes for my son and new adjustments for me as well. Guess the house will be a lot quieter now.
The Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday tags are some of my faves! I want to thank @ace108 for running the beautiful Sunday tag every week and keeping such detailed stats and supporting the accounts. Also, a shout out to @c0ff33a for the sublime Sunday tag where your random Sunday posts are always welcome!
That is SO wonderful!
I hope he enjoys his time there and does well.
You will be an empty nester now. I know that will be weird for a while, but like always, it seems that people eventually adjust to their new life chapter. I know you'll do fine.
Being he will still be relatively close certainly helps. Im just glad I havent seemed to reach the part that says "The End" yet LOL
LOL.... yea, "The End" is not much of a chapter.
Nice walk in the nice campus.
All the best to Ben for his studies.
Many thanks for the kind words!
You're welcome.
