Moving Day!

As I mentioned before, I moved to college this week!  I'm living in the Honors Apartments, which are small, but have a kitchen! Which I was pretty excited about because I obviously love cooking/baking.

I'll start from the beginning with my move-in story.  Normally, my family loves to help move any of us girls to college or camps or whatever.  Sometimes it's the whole family and there are almost too many people to help!  This time however, it was mostly my friend Glynne and I who moved my stuff into my apartment.  My mom, Annelise, and Sarah are in Oregon for my cousin, Andrew's wedding and my dad and Carol had appointments they had to go to.  I was pretty bummed out about missing Andrew's wedding, but I certainly wasn't bored here!

I'm one of those people who don't like change, but once it happens, I'm generally happy about it.  For example, when I was getting ready to move into my apartment, I wasn't overly excited about leaving my family and my house.  I'm really close with my family and even though I'm only living 5-10 minutes away, I still won't be able to see them all the time. Of course though, once I got to my apartment and moved all of my things in, I was very excited to have my own place with my roommate, Amber.

My kitty :) Well, technically she's not mine, but she always sleeps in my room. I miss Cleo!

Goodbye room!! I refurbished this a few years ago, so I might post a blog about it in the future because I have before and after picutres.

I normally don't take pictures of myself in the mirror, but since I was the only one moving things out of my house, I thought I'd take a picture of Annelise and I on the phone.

My handiwork! You'd think I'd watched my dad pack the van before.

Goodness, I sure have a lot of stuff!

Glynne wanted to take a picture of me in my new apartment!

Glynne made my bed for me :)

My roommate Amber!

My favorite drawer! It's not organized yet, but it's still awesome.

Glynne and I made tacos after a huge shopping trip to Walmart, Dillons, and Braums for groceries.  this picture cracks me up because we had to set it up on a shelf to take the picture on timer, but we were never sure when it would take, so we just sat there smiling at the camera like idiots.

I've now organized pretty much all of my stuff, but I want to hang up a few things and do some more decorating before I post a tour of my apartment.

Until next time!
