Lia in her new dorm room
We moved Lia into her dorm at Mississippi State almost two weeks ago. It was so fun all day long, but the end was really sad. Leaving her was so strange! It still just feels like she shouldn't be big enough to stay there by herself. Because I am so much older than her, I can sort of understand how my parents felt when Alyssa and I went to college. I'm so excited for all that Lia has ahead of her and the fun she's going to have...but I worry about her. What if she gets lost? Or runs out of gas? Or someone's mean to her? It's silly, I know. And the greatest thing is that Lia really is outstanding and has such a great head on her shoulders about everything, so I know we have nothing to worry about. And Lord knows if I made it, she'll be just fine! It'll just take some time for me to get used to her being that old!
She did go through rush last week and had a great time. She met some great girls who were going through and has become good friends with some of them already. She had an amazing time at every house and honestly had a hard time making her decision. The fact that Alyssa and I were both DGs...and my mom...actually made her feel like it wasn't at all what she wanted to do. Thanks to the hard work of my sweet friend, she did love it. She loved the girls she met there, and then started realizing that the friends she was making loved DG, too. So, after all the late night phone calls (that Lee is glad are over!) and talking through everything, she made her decision and is so happy with it. She is having the time of her life. My mom and I keep saying that we still can't believe she's even at Mississippi State, so the fact that she is having so much fun makes us so happy. Classes started yesterday, so that added a little bit of stress, but I think the fun is overriding the stress!
Thank you so much to all my friends who helped in Lia having such a great time last week. It was so fun to see her really be able to make the decision that was best for her and not just be left with one choice because of decisions we had made. You guys are the best!!
