Thanks for joining Coco and me for the Ultimate Coffee Date. If we were having coffee today, I would have so much to tell you. I am also pretty sure I could use a huge coffee right now! Grab your mugs and let’s chat.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
This weekend is my daughter’s college graduation from Indiana University. We are all in Bloomington celebrating with her all weekend. Stay tuned for lots of photos. I just can’t believe how quickly this all just flew by! I am so very proud of her and all that she has accomplished. Watching your baby grow up into an adult is both a strange and wonderful thing. Here is a quick one from the sorority house photo shoot today.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I am currently knee deep in packing up both kids’ clothes and gear from their dorms. I am pretty sure that I could use a huge coffee right about now! I also may be a little afraid of what I may find in my son’s dorm room.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I will be making a 10 hour drive back from Indiana with my son on Sunday. I am so not a road trip kind of girl at all. Should be an interesting bonding experience. I have never driven that far or that long. Again, I am pretty sure there will be lots of coffee involved. I guess lots of restroom stops as well ha!
Finally, if you are still looking for some Cinco de Mayo inspiration, I shared a few of my favorite Mexican inspired meals this week here.
I am sorry for the short Coffee Date update today but as you can read, I’ve got my hands full today. I will respond to all of your coffee date posts as soon I can. Thanks for joining us. If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
WOW! you do have your hands full. Good luck and enjoy!
Yes I do so far so good!
I remember chatting in depth about all of this a month ago (at our in-person coffee date, via your kitchen), hard to believe it’s already time for things to get set in motion 😉 Best of luck with all the craziness this weekend, and all the fun and pride 😉 HUGE congrats to your lovely daughter!!!
I know I can’t believe it’s been a month already! It is a little crazy but so far so good over here
I’ll be heading up to Wisconsin this weekend to pack up some of my son’s stuff. He insists that his girlfriend is going to bring everything home but you and I know better, right? Good luck on the drive and enjoy the time with your son. It’s amazing what they tell you in the car.
Congrats to your daughter! What’s next for her?
Ha well that girlfriend sounds like a keeper! I have had some great conversations with them in the car
Awww all the best with your epic weekend. It’s bittersweet I’m sure. We’ve got high school graduation coming up and are just beginning that college journey. Everyone tells me the college years fly the fastest of all. Happy road tripping!
Well they sure did fly by! It’s crazy looking for a pause button for life over here. Thanks for linking up today gotta run!
Enjoy graduation weekend!! That’s such an accomplishment for the family. I hope the weather cooperates so you have sunshine.
As someone who has driven from Chicago to NJ countless times, pack snacks and get a playlist of podcast ready to listen to. Safe travels!
ha ha yes a long drive!
Oh that tex mex salad looks delicious. Somehow missed that post — off to catch up and drool
Safe drive! I think my parents’ worst weekend was my graduation which was paired with moving my brother out of his dorm while having some of my stuff in the car too. All the stuff!
Yup that’s about what we have going on!!
Huge congrats to your daughter! These transitions are exciting and emotional. I listen to podcasts on road trips. They make the time fly.
Congrats to your daughter! You must be proud of her.
That salad looks so yummy! I am bookmarking it for future reference. I love salads for dinner, especially in the summer. Thanks for sharing.
I am very proud thanks!
Congrats to your daughter! It seems like just yesterday you were dropping her off there! Time flies. Have a safe drive back!
OH you are telling me! I cannot believe how the time has flown
You definitely need some coffee for this weekend! Congratulations to your daughter – it’s such a huge accomplishment. I take lots of stop along the way in a road trip and listen to books on tape or podcasts – it could be fun to find one that both you and your son could enjoy and share
I am trying to find something fun for us to listen to on the drive. Thanks!
wow! Such a busy but exciting time for you and your family. Congratulations to your daughter!
Wishing you a safe and fun road trip back from Indiana 🙂
Thanks so much Kim!
Best of luck with all you have going on! And a big congratulations to your daughter! Enjoy the weekend!
Thanks so much so far so good!
congratulations to your daughter and good luck with all that packing and the car adventure!! sending you a virtual case of wine!
That would be fantastic thanks!
Ugh. I forgot you were driving back. We are STILL on the road. Our usual 3-1/2 hour drive is approaching almost five hours. A big congrats to Sam and your whole family! Hopefully I will see you this weekend!
A huge congrats to you and yours as well! I hear the traffic is a nightmare
No worries on a short post! I had one almost ready to go on Tuesday but never had the energy to post it. So I’m set for this coming Tuesday. 😊
Good luck on the road trip! We pretty much never drive that much in one day because neither of us likes to drive, so we always split it into a couple of days. Enjoy your time with your son!
I am so not a car trip person at all! I have never driven that far. We will take turns but if we get too tired we will just stop somewhere
I can’t believe she’s done already! It’s funny because I think Indiana is on our list of places to visit this summer. We plan to do a lot of road trips to colleges all summer, so I’ll be driving like that more than once LOL.
It’s a gorgeous campus and let me know if you are headed here and I will give you tips. I am so not a road trip person 🙂
Congrats on your daughter graduating! Seriously I feel like she just started college! So funny about you and your son at the dorm. I hope the car ride turns out to be fun for you two! Thanks for hosting!
I feel like she just started too! It’s really just a blur
Congrats to your daughter! Time passses by so, so quickly! I have to pack up my stuff in NJ and move it back to CA at the end of next month so I’m not really looking forward to that, haha.
I don’t usually drink coffee but I’m probably going to be doing that a lottt more this summer to survive all the driving!
OH wow that will be a very long drive!
You do have a lot going on this week! So many feelings, too!
We’ve got so many milestones going this week as well. It’s awesome but so hard, too.
I haven’t given any thought to cinco De Mayo, this year. I just need to get through Sunday before I can worry about that. Although guacamole and margaritas sounds incredible…
It sure is amazing and difficult at the same time. Hope your weekend goes well too
You definitely sound very busy. Love the picture of your daughters sorority girls. That salad looks tasty!
Thanks it was a fun weekend out there with everyone
Special weekend indeed! Big congrats to your daughter for graduating. Eagerly waiting to read your upcoming coffee date posts, Deborah. ♥
Thanks so much it was an exciting weekend
