So I have been in Utah for the past four days. I flew here on Saturday. The last few days in Virginia were just absolutely crazy. We had to pack everything up, clean up our room, and put everything in storage. I had to fit all of my stuff into my three suitcases and I also ended up shipping one box home. It was kind of stressful because when I first weighed my suitcases one of them was 64 pounds and another was 51 pounds. Yikes. I somehow managed to get them down to 50 pounds and 48 pounds. I have no idea how I managed it. My roommate Avy volunteered to carry a few things in her backpack for me including my scriptures and sound machine. Thanks Avy. :) I am pretty sure my carry-on and my laptop bag both weighed fifty pounds as well. They were stuffed to the max.
On the plane flight home I had finally accepted that I was leaving Virginia. I was done being sad and I was excited to leave. That didn't last very long... hahaha. Once I got to my room here in my Aunt's house I said something out loud expecting one of my roomies to respond. Neither of them did and then I realized how much I missed them. :( I still do. I think living with people bonds you together in a way nothing else can. I think that is why I have become so close to people through things like Girls' Camp and All-State Choir.
No offense to Utah but Virginia is so much prettier. This picture is from the week before I left up at the Double Decker Park. It had rained and there was a beautiful rainbow.
My stay in Utah has been very nice so far. I found out that every morning my Grandpa gets up and kneels in the living room and says his morning prayer. It definitely has inspired me. It was something I never knew about my Grandpa.
In other news, my grandparents' dog is on a diet. Coco eats diet dog food, on occasion. However, most of the time, Coco just eats people food. She is such a picky eater though. She refuses to have just a waffle, she wants a waffle with syrup. When we had dinner the other day my Grandma buttered a roll and set it on the counter so I asked if I could have it. She told me, "Of course. I can butter another one for the dog. She likes her rolls with butter." ...I am very proud of Coco for losing one pound over the past month.
Today I went and saw my new condo! I'm super excited to move in and live there. It's going to be great.
After visiting my condo I drove around my new campus for a bit. It's huge and it was a little bit overwhelming. I'm very nervous but mostly excited. I know that I've made the right choice but it's still kind of scary. :\
Next week I'm going to Disneyland and my family is meeting me there. I can't wait to see them. I'll be home in Colorado for my birthday. It is going to be the best birthday present ever!
