Thanks for joining me and Coco for the May 2022 Ultimate Coffee Date. I feel like I am often traveling on our coffee date days and today is no exception. I am in Bloomington, Indiana for the weekend. Grab your mug and I will tell you all about why I am here.
May 2022 Ultimate Coffee Date
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I can’t believe this is college Graduation weekend for my son already! These last 4 years really seemed to fly by. I know he thinks so too. Having lost 1.5 years of college due to covid, it seems crazy it is already graduation time. Indiana University will forever hold a place in our family’s hearts. Our daughter also graduated from IU 3 years ago. We have spent the last 7 years visiting, moving in and out of dorms and apartments, and cheering on our Hoosiers at football and basketball games.
This weekend is a happy one but also bittersweet because who knows if I will ever have a reason to return to Bloomington. My parents came along with us for graduation so that makes it extra special for all of us. I will sure miss my runs through campus, stops at The Sample Gates, and the weekend visits here. Okay, I should stop now because I am already tearing up writing this.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I do want to make sure to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all of my favorite mother runners out there. You all continue to motivate and inspire me every day to push myself to be all that I can be. I also know that mother’s day can be hard for some of you and I offer a virtual hug.
Happy Mother’s Day Deborah and congrats to your son! It has certainly been a tough couple of years for our kids and I’m so glad to see things returning to normal. Enjoy your weekend and your family!
thanks! I know he missed a bunch in the middle unfortunately but it is all ending on a high note
Congrats to your son! I am wistful watching so many of our friends graduate this weekend. Some I remember in preschool! Time sure does fly. Happy Mother’s Day Deborah! Enjoy the celebration!
time sure does fly I can’t believe it!
Enjoy your time with family! It is bittersweet watching our kids graduate, especially at the college level. Congrats to your son!!
It sure is! Thanks
Oh Deborah! First off, a big congratulations to your son! What an exciting milestone. But also I can see how it’s bittersweet… it will be hard for you to leave IU after seven years! My son is finishing his freshman year and it went so fast- I can see how all of college is going to fly by.
Have a wonderful weekend! And Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
It really just flew by! I might have cried for a sec last night bc I swear I just dropped him off at Kindergarten 🙂
Aw, graduation is a bittersweet time, but all the more so when you will miss the place too!
Enjoy the weekend!
Do you have to do any packing?
Congrats to your son. Time does fly.
I can’t believe that my stepsons are 33 and 35.
Enjoy the weekend.
I know it’s really crazy fast!
I feel you. We still have two years, but it’s flown by! I just rented an airbnb for graduation in 2024. Gah!
It is crazy fast! I just cannot believe it
This last 4 years have flown by – Congrats to your son! Will be be coming back to DC area? I’m glad your daughter is here in Chicago so you still have reason to come here!
Happy Mother’s Day!
they sure have flown by! He will be coming back to DC for now. Yes, I will still be coming to Chicago often
I miss my runs from my parents’ house to Vassar College — it was a nice place to run around. Running where she lives now — I’ve done it, but I really have to be motivated. And it’s just difficult with 3 women sharing a small, 2 bathroom (and 2 bedroom!) apartment.
You can always go visit without having to see a kid. 🙂
Congrats to your family & your son! Have a wonderful weekend & Happy Mother’s Day.
Thanks so much 🙂
Amazing to think it’s graduation time already! Congrats to your son! I hope you all have a great family weekend 🙂
