The College Drop Off

It seems like everyone is sending kids off to school. I remember sending my three youngest off to BYU. We love BYU. A trip to Utah is never complete unless we step foot on campus ; ) (Notice a very little Elder Rob off by himself ; )

I have to say we are not the only members of the Rob family who do this ; )

Ten Years Ago this week we took Heidi down to BYU for her first semester. I was very brave until we drove away, then the tears flowed. I knew it was hard on her so I didn't want to make it any harder by bawling. (I think she thought it was easy for me ; ) I remember telling her I hated that I was not going to be there for her first day of classes and so I was going to hire a photographer to follow her around and take pictures of her those first few days. (I really think she was a tad worried that I really would do that ; ) Here she is with her sister, Wendy.

















I was so excited for her to have the experience at BYU. It was not always easy for her and we were so proud of her when she graduated.

















And a few months after Brent returned from his mission, he headed to LDS Business College. He graduated there in April 2009


















He transferred to BYU. He loves it there and I am so glad. He is excited to start next week. And Heidi's husband, Daniel, will be starting next week, too.




















And then in 2009 we dropped our youngest off. He had a great experience in the dorms.
















I think knowing he had Heidi and Brent in Utah made the transition a lot easier.


















So this year I may not have any little ones at home heading off to school, but I have one still in college and one teaching school. As far as grandchildren--one in pre-school, two in elementary school, one a senior in high school, and 2 in college.

Sidenote: Last year when I was in Cali when baby Georgia was born, we went to a Giant's game. It was Georgia's first game. This year the family went back. They are some pretty diehard Giant's fans.
