Matthew now at WCU

So yesterday we took Matthew to WCU to get moved into his room, if you can call it a room. It's pretty small. It snowed all day but never did seem to stick, at least not until we were ready to leave and then it got really bad, really fast. We drove from Sylva to Asheville in one lane of traffic at 20 mph.

Matthew will be taking English, Music, Nutrition & Wellness, Economics, & Communications this first semester at Western.

It was so hard to look back at him sitting in that room all by himself. It was as if we were shutting a jail cell door when we closed the door behind us. YES, of course I cried. And I'm crying now as I write this. It was much easier with Amanda and Amy because they had each other. I know he will be fine and he will be with some of his high school friends within a week but last night we left him in an empty room. About 30 minutes after we got home we heard that Monday classes were cancelled. I felt even worse because now he is up there snowbound, too.

Yes, he will be fine!!!! I know that but I miss him already :(

Matt's Senior Prom

Matter Bee!

Matthew's Prom Pictures

The Tux Matter Picked Out

The Black Arden Calvin Klein Tuxedo - can't wait to take the pictures on this day!

Keepin' it in the Family ... hehehehe

Matthew & Michelle are going to make such a cute couple for the prom. Now all I have to do is patiently wait for her to find her dress so I can take Matter to get fitted for his first grown-up tux!

For those of you who don't know this, the reason I titled the post, "Keepin' it in the Family" is because Michelle is the sister to Nicole who is married to Nathan who is Nick's stepbrother who is Matt's stepbrother! Well it's one of those kinda sorta related things!

Matter on the Front Page! WooHoo!

Did You See This?

It's Matthew! On the front page of the paper last Wednesday. I didn't see it until the end of the day. He has a guy's arm in his face, but it is definitely him. I have extra copies if anyone needs them autographed ... haha! (If you click on the image it will open up bigger so you can see him better.)

Happy Birthday, Matter!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATTER!

I can believe it's been 16 years since you were born! WOW - where does the time go. I put up this picture of pooh because before there was always a ball in your hand there was a pooh. Oh how you loved pooh! It makes me smile to think about the little boy you were carrying around your blankie and your pooh. I am having to post from my work computer so I don't have access to any pictures of you, but when I get home, I will be sure to put up a few of my favorites. Love you so much! Have a happy, happy day!
