Convocation

Friday was the beginning of all Little Man's orientation.  They invite parents as well for the whole weekend, but I decided to just go to the convocation and parent meeting in the Marriott Center.  It was extra fun, because I got to go with Tuckey who was my mission companion in Spain years ago.  She lives in Lindon and her son is also a Freshman this year.  The convocation brought back all kinds of memories from my time at BYU, and I was just hoping that Little Man was enjoying it.  

Afterward, I needed to pick up a router that Little Man needed for his dorm room, and we also stopped to see the Lindon temple.  This is Temple 97 for our family!

The following morning we took Little Man out to lunch for some last moments together.  He wanted to try the iconic Brick Oven for some pizza.  It was so hard saying goodbye to him, but he had the most amazing first day of orientation.  He couldn't stop gushing about it being the best day of his life.  He loves his roommate who also happens to be from Kansas.  He's from Dodge City.  Kinda crazy! Knowing he was happy made it easier, but I was seriously sad on the drive home.
