After a long day of driving on Saturday (with a quick drive through campus to show Marshall the University), we moved Tanner into his home for the next 9 months. We had an early time slot, parked right in front of the dorm and moved in, in just three loads with the help of an On Iowa volunteer and her cart. The move in process was very smooth and we were able to get all unpacked before Tanner's roommates arrived. We grabbed some lunch as well at the dining hall which is a short walk across the street from Tanner's dorm.
The dorm set up turned out pretty well and they actually have a great deal of room even for three people. The dorm floor is mostly girls so that will be something that Tanner will have to navigate as there aren't as many boys to make friends with on the floor unfortunately.
Marshall and I walked to Target for a couple of last minute things, dropped them off at Tanner's dorm and then Tanner walked us to the minivan. It was certainly hard to leave, but I think Iowa is a great school for him. We're so proud of him for what he has accomplished and excited for what lies ahead. I didn't do a great job with the pictures, but here are a few. Go Hawks!
