First of Firsts

Today is the first day of the first school week at Belhaven. We do not start classes until Wednesday, but have a full schedule the next two days. Yesterday I parted with mom and my move-in passe. It was bittersweet, but I was fairly impressed with the separation on my part. Mom was so brave too. She got very emotional for a time, but then got okay enough to step away and get in the car to leave. The remainder of Sunday was spent at Timber Creek playing games and such with other new students. Finally, we returned back to the dorm to clean up and relax.

I already miss my family a lot, but I'm blessed with a feeling of 'home'-ness here in Jackson to compensate an overwhelming thing. Right now, I need to get up and on with the day so I'll wrap it up right here and maybe come back tonight for more. Ciao
