Wednesday was another fun and FULL day! I went for my run early and then Brooke and I
went down for breakfast at the hotel at 8am—per Brooke’s request! She wanted to be over at the dorm’s early to
finish organizing all her stuff before CC got there. She also wanted to get some pictures on
campus first, so we left the hotel at 8:30 which was our goal, as well, and got
some pictures by the entrance signs of BYU—“Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve”
and “The World is Our Campus”—both right next to Helaman Halls. Brooke is such a pretty girl. CC’s sister Dani came from Rexburg that
morning with her daughter Charlie to surprise CC!! I thought that was so cool! So she met us there in the dorm room and then
around 9:30 or so CC showed up with her mom and dad and Preston and his wife
Ashley and their little boy. It was a FULL
dorm room with all those bodies—Brooke and I were so grateful that we’d gotten
all our setting up done the day before and our boxes and garbage cleared out of
there, because it was a super big mess plus all the people in there. Brian got their router and internet wi-fi all
set up and they also brought a printer, so that will be super nice for Brooke
and CC! It took Brian the whole time
they were setting up the dorm and unpacking to get all the tech stuff set up! That was SO nice of him! I just love Debbie, too! She’s so much fun! We helped them as much as we could with
bringing stuff up and helping to unpack her clothes and get them hung. Meanwhile, Dad flew into Provo that
morning—Megan went and picked him up at the Provo airport. He went over to her house and helped them get
stuff situated, which was a big help to Megan.
Then back at the dorm room, the Brooksby’s and Brooke and I decided to
go get some lunch at the Wilkinson Center, so we drove over there. It was fun to visit with Debbie while we
ate-- CC and Brooke finished eating quickly and went to get CC’s ID. (Brooke got hers back in July when we were
here.) Then we went to the bookstore and
picked up Brooke’s textbooks upstairs.
After, Brooke and I went shopping for a winter coat at Burlington and we
found one right off the bat! I was glad
that it didn’t take too long to find one she liked. It’s super cute and kind of a sage green
color. We went to Wal-Mart and got all
the stuff we realized we needed after unpacking and setting up Brooke’s dorm
up. Then we met up with Bill, Megan and
Todd at Bed Bath and Beyond to use up their wedding money there to get the
things they needed for their new apartment.
That was fun. Then we headed back
to the dorms and got lots of cute pictures of Brooke and CC on their beds with
all their cute decorations. Both turned
out SO CUTE! I got some with Brooke
too! Then Bill and Megan and Todd showed
up and we got some with them too! It was
just a big party in the room, because Brooksby’s and all their crew were there
as well! Later, after running more
errands, Brooke and I met up with Todd and Megan and Bill at a Korean BBQ
Restaurant in Orem called Yummies. It
was really good food! Todd helped us to
know what to order. Brooke ended up
staying at the dorms that night with CC and Bill and I at the hotel. I’m glad she decided to stay there even
though I missed her! Ugh… it’s starting
(those awful emotions of change and good-byes) and I feel so yucky! I’m already missing
her and we haven’t even said our good byes yet!
Brooke and CC went to the dance at the Cannon Center but came back to
their dorm pretty early because they were so tired. I’d texted her around 11:30pm and never got a
text back thinking it was because they were having so much fun, but it really
ended up being that they were already asleep!
Hahahaha! I thought that was
funny because I was up and she wasn’t and she’s a free college student
now! That’s role reversal!
Picture 4 and 5 are the view out Brooke's dorm room...so pretty! That is the football stadium and we could hear the band practicing at night! (They are SO good and fun to listen to!!!) The very last picture shows Allie Hart... she is downstairs on the first floor, so they will be nice and close although not in the same ward. I'm sure they are excited to all be together! Notice before I ironed Brooke's tapestry versus after it was ironed! I had to beg her to do it, but she finally agreed that it looked better ironed! Hahaha! It was so fun to help her get her dorm room all set up and organized!
