Derek with his favorite person, Kenley...sorry Laken
As of yesterday, Derek has officially left the nest. My mom, Laken, me and Kenley got him nestled into his new dorm with his roommate and off we left. It was a sad day but I didn't cry till today. My little brother who I see pretty much everyday is gone and will only hear from him through phone calls and the occasional visits home. He has pretty much lived with Steve and I and I'm gonna miss him. Derek got a scholarship to play football at Cumberland University in Lebanon and though its not far away, sometimes it seems like it. For the first time in 32 years, my mom and dad finally have an empty house and I think my mom has cried ever since. She cried the whole way home and during church today...poor thing. Mom says now her and dad actually have to talk to each other, ha. Love you Derek and always do the right thing and practice hard!

Oh boy, that just means Kenley is going to be really spoiled now that your mom and dad have more time on their hands. Give Derek hugs and wish him good luck from us. We will have to try to make it down for one of his games. Love you all!
