It was great for

Sarah Leaves for School and Band Parent Preview

Today, we got up early, and I drove Sarah and Angela to Milwaukee to fly out to Provo for school.  🙁  It doesn’t really hit you until it’s staring you in the face!  Getting Sarah out with all the luggage they took (in addition to all the stuff we drove out earlier) was a miracle
