Tracie, I am an ASU alumni and was able to learn something from your video. Will be bringing my daughter this Fall 2024. I didn't get this drop off when I started college... thanks for taking the time to share how it should be done!

That's the truth @cleaning. I literally washed the walls with a Swiffer and Pine Sol in my son's dorm rooms each year. Freshman year I saw dust on the walls and that was it for me. Deep cleaning every year, regardless of how clean it looked. He's a senior at AAMU this year. Thank you so much for the vids of Jalyn's experience there. They were very helpful to us.

[@traciesplace]

Awesome and congrats to your son on his senior year, many blessings to him. Exactly! Deep clean anyway- I Agree! I’m so glad you enjoyed Jalyn’s A&M videos. I truly enjoyed her time there through her 🤗💗

[@staicilogan1710]

So glad you shared with us! You two have raised an awesome young man and I can’t wait to see how Isaiah’s life continues to unfold! Let him know I peeped his hair!! Alright! 🔥🔥🔥

Hey Tracie! I really loved this vlog! Congratulations to Isaiah on his graduation and entrance/move in to ASU! What a blessing and huge accomplishment! My husband and I watched as we ate breakfast this morning and we reminisced on when took our daughters to college. They are 4 years apart. I thought I was going to lose it… both times we dropped each of them off. They are now both college graduates and wonderful productive citizens with families and we couldn’t be any more proud of them than we are! But I feel you Sis! Those were some very sad but happy moments in time that we will never forget!

[@traciesplace]

Hi there! Oh my goodness, you definitely know my feelings! I’m so happy to hear about you and your husband raising your wonderful daughters and I’m so glad they turned out so well! Mischief love and many blessings to you and your family! 🤗💗

Good morning and Happy Sunday, Tracie! Great vlog, as always. I pray that God continues to bless and cover Isaiah AND his roommate on their new journey.

Peace and many blessings to you and your lovely family. ⚘️

[@tanishaharris-sykes3289]

Tracie, girl, why do you have me crying watching this video?! I'm sad with you. I know it was very difficult dropping off Isaiah to begin his adult life. The "Empty Nest" syndrome/phase is NO JOKE. It's a bittersweet experience. I've watched people go and GET through it. It's a hard one... Don't listen to anyone who tells you not to cry, and merely, "Get over it." Not everyone is close to his/her children, or even love them; some people want their kids to go and are glad to see them go. I can tell you some stories about some people I know who are emotionally disconnected from their kids, and were therefore, nonchalant about their kids leaving home... Take as much time as you need to process, encourage and strengthen yourself through this period. I'm sure your husband is hurting, too. You guys will get through this together, with God in the center of it all. It'll be a time of great discovery, growth, development and evolution. My sisters of my youngest nieces and nephews were dreading this phase, but were saved by the pandemic. Their kids remained at home and had to, or could do virtual/remote learning for their first couple of years. With all of this said, Congratulations to you and your husband for raising such intelligent and wonderful children! Congratulations to Isaiah as he embarks on his college journey-my University of Michigan college years were some of the VERY BEST years of my life. GO BLUE! As you already know with Jalyn, the years are going to fly by. Before you know it, Isaiah will be graduating from college. Buc-ee's: Girl, let me tell you... A few months ago, I was lamenting in nostalgia about going to Buc-ee's. My family would stop there during road trips when we were traveling south on our family vacations. I kept seeing TikTok videos about Buc-ee's, which got me so excited, but sad at the same time. I had resolved that I would probably never go to Buc-ee's again, since I don't foresee my family taking any more road trips to the south any time soon. I was like, "Oh, well..." So, you KNOW the God we serve right?! ... A few weeks ago, I came across a news article that showed up in my feed. Why is Buc-ee's building a location on the land that used to occupy my favorite shopping mall back-in-the-day in MICHIGAN?! Girl, I was SHOCKED and SPEECHLESS! I was beyond excited and ecstatic when I read the news! I told my Mom what is even more EPIC about the Buc-ee's Michigan location is it's not being built off of a major travel highway like the other Buc-ee's locations. It's being built in a suburb of Detroit that is enclosed within a popular suburban shopping area. God went ALL OUT to bless me with my Buc-ee's location! I can spend the whole day there! When we stopped at Buc-ee's while on the road, we would be there for hours. It's sooo huge and has so much to see, buy and eat there that one could easily be there all day. We travel with a convoy of many vehicles. Hence, it would be fun and convenient for all of us to be able to pull up together at the gas pumps. It's such a welcomed coincidence that you referenced Buc-ee's in this video.

[@traciesplace]

Hi Tanisha! Awww 🥰 thank you!!! Yes- my husband misses him a bit more than he thought he was going to and it’s a bit more of an adjustment than we initially thought- he is truly missed! 💗We think he’s getting used to it pretty well. Oh awesome! You guys are getting a Buc-ee’s too!!! We are also!!! I’m sooo excited! Ours will be near the Columbus Ohio area so not far at all- perfect field trip with the family and I will definitely Vlog about it! 👍🏽 Have a blessed week 🤗🙏🏽💗

[@tanishaharris-sykes3289]

@@traciesplace You're welcome, Tracie! I'm happy Isaiah is adjusting well. I'm sure you guys will attend family/parents weekend, which should be coming up soon-if not already. Then, he'll be home for Thanksgiving, which will be here before you know it. After that, he'll take his finals and will be home in the A-clause of December. And, YESSSS, to the Ohio Buc-ee's as well! TRUST ME: You guys will be able to spend the entire day there-if need be. When we would stop at Buc-ee's, we would be there for HOURS, although we only planned to be there for an hour!
