Right away the kids got all lined up and got to go on a quick bus ride (we had no idea they got to do that) and lemme tell ya, that’s when the huge lump came into play in my throat. Seeing Jack get on that bus was nearly a tear jerker for me. It felt so surreal. I was so proud but having to let go at that same moment. If I felt that way tonight, I’ll be a mess for sure on his first day of school! While the kids were on their ride, us parents got to learn about how they do things at school, what to expect, etc. His teacher is a real sweetheart (as is Mikie’s by the way) so we are thrilled to have her.

From there we dropped Jack off to Granny and Grampa’s and went to the park to pick up Erk’s car. I drove the car home and he went and filled the truck up with gas. I didn’t want music on on the way home, I didn’t want to think about anything, I just wanted to be alone. Not sure about how I was feeling. I got home and finished folding the laundry that was in the dining room and Erk got home and we started talking and he asked if I was ok. I just started to cry… What a day… Just so many things at once it felt, so many different little things that made today special and yet filled with… milestones.
