Taking Chase to Southern Virginia University

Well, We did it. We got the man off to Southern Virginia University. For those of you who have never been there it is located in Buena Vista, Virginia which is nestled between the Alleghany and Blue Ridge ranges of the Appalachian Mountains in one of the pretty places in the country. Last Thursday, at about, 1 PM, we loaded up the Honda Civic (it really was loaded) with Cindy, Paul, our grandaughter Summer, and Chase and his stuff. After a stayover in Ohio, we made it to VA on Friday PM. On Saturday we got Chase all settled into his dorm and then Cindy, Paul, and Summer made the trip back to IL. Rumor has it that Chase is doing well on day two at SVU although he is a little bored because not all of the students are there yet. Check out his new blog at www.chaseguymon.blogspot.com and encourage him to do well. After all he is spending our money to be there...so we want it to be worthwhile. In the meantime enjoy these few pictures.

And now Chase enters the world of dormdom--



If you want to see more you will need to go to Chase's blog. I promised him I would not post any more than this. Sorry.

SVU or Bust

Just a quick note so that everyone knows we have not dropped off of the face of the earth or something. This summer has been incredibly busy. First, the family reunion, then summer school, Warren and Marianne's move, a trip to Utah to visit my parents, and now a suicide trip taking Chase to start school at Southern Virginia University. Yes, we packed all of Chase's stuff, as well as Chase, Cindy, grandaughter Summer, and myself into our Honda Civic and are on the way to Buena Vista, VA, home of Southern Virginia University. We are currently in Jeffersonville, OH (look that one up on a map). Should make it to SVU later today and will be home (minus Chase) sometime Sunday. Pictures to follow.
