Stuff

Jon drove back from Decorah yesterday with the contents of Ylvi Room 325. So now we look at the piles of books, laundry, speakers, and other dorm room contents.  It's a relatively small pile when I think that a 19-year-old guy seemed to live rather well with just these piles for a school year. Anyway, we have the stuff, but not the young man. He's off on another adventure, and I'm excited about his trip to Boulder. He's capping off a full freshman year with another road trip, another tourney. But this morning, I wish we had him here instead of the stuff. Or to deal with the stuff ;) Each bin is a reminder of the life that will burst back into this house in less than two weeks. And I'm looking forward to the real deal - the stories and the heart behind the stuff.
