Moving Jordan to College!!!



I remember the day he was born so vividly...born to the opening music of 

sports center 19 years ago.  Today we packed our friends van, as well as 

Jordan's SUV, and moved him to college!!  





I will give you one guess who mad mixed feelings about her big brother 

moving.






Curtis was excited to get him moved and settled in yet knowing he is really 

going to miss him!  Curtis was even more excited when we pulled into Jordan's 

new dorm and found there were close to 20 volunteer students who MOVED 

EACH STUDENT in!  Yes, you read that right, like they carried every, single, 

thing that we brought with us up to his room!  Though I have always known 

IWU is a Christ centered university with a mission to serve others and change 

the world, I have to say this left us all speechless! 





I just keep telling myself he's only an hour away and I'm taking him to work 

with me as he is attending the awesome university in which I teach and 

serve; some days that works better than others.





He is stocked with plenty of caffeine as a well as a big screen for the games 

throughout the year!




I'm so thankful she is adaptable to whatever situation we are in!  God 

definitely blessed her with this!






Patrick was so helpful giving us ideas of how to get Jordan's bed, and his 

roommate "T's top bunk,  to fit in one of the two rooms.  Thank you for all 

your help Patrick!





Mission accomplished and Jordan's bed is made and all put together...you just 

can't see it behind them:)





You may be moving to college but I'm not letting you go!





The fridge and the big screen!  Yes, he has all of his books, folders, MAC, etc 

too:)





You totally need to notice the salsa on the bottom shelf!  Jordan was born on

cinco de mayo and his favorite food in the entire world is chips and salsa!





We had the wonderful pleasure of meeting "L" last night who is a freshman 

and also attending IWU. Her family had already started their drive home so 

she ran errands with us last night, went to dinner and then was hanging out 

with Jordan when we left.  It made leaving him much easier knowing he was 

spending time with such an incredible friend!!  We know God has amazing 

plans for you this year Jordan and we couldn't be more proud of the young 

man you have become!
