Bloomington

As we pulled into Wright Quad this morning Doug said, "This is a whole different feeling then when we dropped Brett off.  Then, we had no idea how the year would be for Brett.  Now we can celebrate in his accomplishments."  I had never thought of that, but Doug was totally correct.  

When we left Brett last August, I had hoped that he would enjoy IU and all that Bloomington had to offer.  I never dreamed he would take to it as well he did.  Brett grew in independence and self-confidence.  There were times he was frustrated with his school work and was homesick, but overall he handled the first year of college very well.  He met a lot of people, forged new friendships, ventured to DC and Florida, and survived a scare with his roommate.  I couldn't be more proud of him.

After we loaded all of Brett's belongings into the van, we headed to TIS.  Brett had a book to sell back and I wanted to pick out some IU wear.  We then journeyed to Oliver Winery to celebrate Brett's the end of Brett's freshmen year.  We had a wonderful lunch with him and as always enjoyed the conversation very much.  We are thrilled to have Brett home for the summer.
