Well the day has finally come for me to move out on my own. Ahhhh... this is definately going to be a big change for me to adjust to. But I can do it. This moving was quite an adventure full of great memories, with a little case of homesickness. We left around 4:30, after my family got out for church. My Grandma Gwen came over to say goodbye, and be our college photographer. And you know the phrase, don't let the door hit you in the but on the way out. Grandma made sure that we captured that special moment. We got to my apartment in Rexburg at Tuscany Place, picked out my room, and unloaded my stuff. And boy did I have a ton of stuff. But thanks to my mom, who is an excellent packer, fit it all in one car so that we could travel together as a family. We went to go find a hotel to stay in for the night and everything in Rexburg was BOOKED. Actually, everything in Rigby and pretty much Idaho Falls was booked. We tried a ton of hotels. Finally, one hotel had only ONE room left that had a king sized bed in it. We took it, anything is better than a night in our car. We walked to the Olive Garden to get us some dinner. I had been sick all day, but somehow I managed to eat a ton. You would have thought it was my last meal! Then we went to Walmart to get some cots and blankets to sleep on. Mariah and Mason slept with mom and dad in the king bed, and Camille and I set up some cots and blankets to sleep on. It was quite the ADVENTURE! But definately worth the MEMORY! What a great way to start college with my family, with a memory!
We miss you. Dad wants to call and is having a hard time resisting. They called that a "Helicopter Parent" one that hoovers over their children. No one here to help with the "current" hair styles. We have Camille in training to shut off the lights but now we have to go to bed EARLIER ( I am not used to that.) No one to walk with me at night. We are so proud of you and love you. I was happy with the roommates. You have a great variety of personalities. Learn from each all you can. I was so glad to see that you had updated your blog. You will be so glad to have put your experience in writing for future reference. It will help you have more compassion for others. (Not that you don't because you do). You will understand others more. What a great weekend! Have fun at the activities. Hope you are feeling better.
