Fetching Katie

Well, I did it! I fetched home Katie from RPI this past weekend! Overall, I logged just under 1400 miles - Martinsville, VA to Alloway Township, NJ to Troy, NY back to Alloway Township then back to Dry Fork, VA. I still don't know how I did it, except Katie drove half the way home on the last leg. I spent just under $120 in gas, now that it's decided to climb again, yes, just in time for the holiday weekend (even though it's still two weeks away!).

The drive was a good one. Katie was ready and waiting when I arrived, and between my mom, Katie and I, we were loaded and gone within 15 minutes! Of course, she stored 90% of her belongings at a friend's house so we wouldn't have to use two vehicles. And the best news is - we don't have to cart it all back again in the fall!

Katie then took us over to the Pi Phi (forgive me if it's wrong) house, where she'll be living next year, so we could check it out. Much better than the dorm she was in this year! Much!

It was great to see my little girl, if only for 72 hours. Yep! She pulled out this morning bound for the Florida Keys. She'll be staying with Brian and Allie while she works this summer. I know she'll have a wonderful time and it can only be a great experience. Who wouldn't want to be 19 and living in paradise?!?

I miss her already . . .
