So for some reason, I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. My little brother-in-law, Austin, got to move into his dorm today and the whole Ratliff crew showed up to help. I'm not sure why I was excited about today so much. I think I was anticipating the nostalgia of Aggieland to wash over me....and of course, I wasn't disappointed.
We went to College Station on Saturday so we'd have time to spend lots of time with our friends, the Maders, and do some errand running while we were there. For me, its like country girl goes to the city :) I LOVE having Target and Super WalMart and Panda Express and the mall and Gander Mountain and everything else you could possibly need all at your fingertips!
Plus, getting to see good friends is so very refreshing and always a welcome respite to the day in and day out of normal every day life. This morning we were greeted by our precious Goddaughters in their cute rainbow pjs. We got a few smiles and hugs from their sleepy selves before having to say goodbye, but we always get a pic when we can since they are growing so very fast!
Then the day went pretty much as planned...hot, sweaty, and fun :) We unloaded Austin's stuff from all of the trucks and hauled it all in to Appelt so he could start his life in dorm room #223. Wow do they have nicer furniture in the dorms than we had when we were in school! :) Plus, they don't have to walk uphill both ways in the snow. lol. Oh, and their washers and dryers in the dorms are FREE now instead of requiring a life savings worth of quarters. We got to eat at JCodys BBQ too which is Derrick's very favorite in the whole wide world. Overall, it was a great day spent with family and it was sad to leave College Station. Until next time Aggieland...hang on without us :)
