Move In Day

Got to Naperville right around 9:09 am on 9/9/09 to move Trenton into his dorm. When we pulled up there was a "move in" crew all ready to help carry things up to his room. Lots of helpers and football players. Frank had some of his family also to help so we finished setting up, including putting together their bed lofts and putting together a futon by around noon or so. Alot of our help that carried up things told us that they had never seen anyone bring so much stuff. That worried me but we knew we would be able to take home anything that he didn't want or didn't need. Fortunately, we only ended up bringing home a mirror and some hangers...that's it. Worked out well. We finished up registration, put money on Trenton's laundry card, got his books (and a few other items ;) ), ate at the dining hall and then went to the Welcome Ceremony for all the freshman. There are 822 students in the class of 2013 at North Central. We listened to the President of North Central and a few other important people and learned the alma mater. It was somewhat entertaining but after working all morning, we were just whooped. We were supposed to head back to the President's house for another engagement afterwards, while the boys went to meet some of the faculty but ended up skipping out since it was after 5pm our time. We ran to KMart to pick up a few things Trenton was needing, brought them back and said our goodbyes. Some tears. Some laughter. We know we will miss Trenton dearly but look forward to him taking part in this next step in his life. Can't wait for family weekend in October!!!!
