We took Catherine over and checked her in to her apartment today. Because of a family wedding that is tomorrow, she came back home with us. I was a little disappointed in that the place was not as nice as I had expected it to be. One of her roommates apparently was able to live there all summer, and it seems as though she has already taken over EVERYTHING. Catherine barely found room for the three cans of beans I purchased for her. This is the downside to it being an apartment rather than a dorm. Her roommate is not a freshman, so it's not quite the same experience. She is very, very excited though, and I'm grateful for that.
She and Thomas are in her room doing more packing. It was so sweet watching Thomas be so helpful. I'm really not sure what he is going to do without her around. It kind of breaks my heart to even think about it.
We will be taking her back on Saturday, and she will stay there for two nights until I pick her up again on Monday. She has doctor appointments both Tuesday and Wednesday, and then I will most likely take her back on Wednesday. I think this is a good way to transition for all of us. I'm ready for this, and I know Catherine is ready for this. At the same time, I wish it wasn't quite time yet.
