I'm in Tennessee
No pictures to share yet. But I must say it was a terribly emotional farewell from home.
My boys have never been without each other. To see them embrace and weep with each other tore me apart. Just tore me apart :( It was JUST like an emotional movie, I can just hear the violins playing. All three of the boys standing in the front yard, eyes red and swollen, that sob-breathing where you can see the chest and shoulders move, waving bye as we pulled out of the driveway. As we're driving towards the freeway, Willy weeping in the back seat. Then I remember "Willy, your bowling bag!" (the violins come to a scratchy screeching halt) So we had to turn around, drive back home and get his bag. It was flippin hilarious! The boys still on the front porch, this time shaking their heads and smiling that we ruined a perfectly fine dramatic ending! Yes, this is the Olivera life, you can't stay too sad, or angry for too long, it's just not *us*.
We've been to Wallmart already got bedding, alarm clock, pillows and stuff like that. Willy moves in the dorms tomorrow, Friday. He got into the "Palace" lol. The newest dorm building that supposed to be just awesome....I'm afraid, very afraid LOL
We arrived in Nashville at about 1:am on Wednesday morning, when we went outside to pick up our rental, it was 85degrees...at 1AM!! It's a little cooler here in Cleveland but not much, thank God for AC.
Well, gotta go pick up Willy's balls, bowling balls that is. Out of six pieces of baggage that we checked, his bowling bag didn't make it through. Yes, the bag that ruined the perfectly dramatic ending that was going to stay impressioned in my heart forever! But they've found it and now we're gonna go pick it up.
More updates later.
