Brenden goes to college..

Well last week while we were enjoying the beach Brenden (brother has Zach calls him) moved to college...sniff sniff... We decided to let him and his mom do that and told him that we would come and check on this weekend.  He got to move in early since the marching band was going to start practicing this week.  He said he was one of 5 in his dorm the entire week.  Tim has talked to him to check on how the week was going and all I can say is Brenden has realized how great college is..(GIRLS).. So yesterday we went up to check out his new house as we told Zach that is what the dorm was and take him to lunch.  So we got up there and he was still in practice so we waited in the parking lot behind the dorm for him.  While we were waiting we were watching all the kids move in.  I had forgotten how crazy hectic that move in day was.  We saw some crazy things being moved in but I think Tim's favorite was a boy with his deer mount... it was awesome.. (he told Brenden we could bring Bucky Jr up for him if he wanted.. if you have been in my house you know we have Bucky - Tim's and Bucky Jr - Brenden's deers.. I guess when Zach gets one we will have Bucky Jr Jr?!?).  Anyways Brenden finally got there and took us up to his dorm.. All I can say is dorms have come a long way!  He is in a newer one that is more like a small apartment then a dorm.  You walk in and they have a small living room with a loveseat and chair then you look to the right and they have a "kitchen" with a sink, microwave, small refrig and cabinets for all their food, dishes, etc.  Then you walk down and walk into the bathroom sink area.  They have two sinks and drawers etc to put their individual stuff in. then you see three doors.  One goes the bathroom part with the shower and toilet. Next two doors are for their rooms.  In the room you have a window, twin bed, desk, and (not sure what they call it) but a stand up cabinet that you can hang your clothes in.   I was really impressed!  Sandra and I had a room that had two beds and two decks with closets for both of us and we had bathroom that we shared with the girls next door.  So after we checked everything out we went to lunch.  Our choice.. Fuzzy's Taco Shop  if you like tacos this is the place for you!  I LOVE their crawfish tacos!  So we ate and talked about the week and what was coming up.  We enjoyed our time with him!  We didn't have a lot of time to talk with him because he has to go back to practice so we drove him back over there and told him to be good and have fun (just not too much fun).  I think he will be fine there and do a great job while he is up there.  It is still hard to believe he is not that little boy I met 12 year ago but a young man.  We are so proud of you Brenden we can't wait to start watching you out on the field in a few weeks.  We love you! oh and don't let me forget to say.. Eat'em Kats!
