Freshman move in day at the University of Montevallo for my brand new college student.
This day was emotionally tough on all of us. In particular, Tanner and myself. I was so worried to leave him, as his social anxiety was kicked into high gear. He had to stay for orientation weekend and he did not know the first kid on campus, and was just so incredibly nervous.
I am grateful to say that it only took a few days for him to get settled in and meet some friends from the team. Now as I type, he is on day two of Spring semester and doing so well.

His roommates name is Noah, he's a pretty nice kid too. However, we've learned that Tanner just does not adjust well to living with others. He is very particular about his space and his sleeping schedule, and it just does not mesh with a roommate. He is surviving though!!
I am so glad that he has adjusted, but am still missing him like crazy. Anytime he wants to transfer to the University of Alabama here at home, I'll be the first one there to help him pack!
XoXo,
