On Friday Kefford, Rylee, Avynlea and I drove to Rexburg to get her moved into her apartment. She was the last one of all the roommates to arrive so she had her bed and room already picked but she got what was left in the kitchen for cupboards and it wasn't the greatest. Her room roommate Savanna was there getting her stuff situated and we were able to meet her, her Mom and her Grandma and they were super nice and Savanna and Avynlea got friendly pretty quick. We were grateful that she was nice and that Avynlea had a good roommate to bond with. After getting her stuff unloaded we went to Walmart to get her groceries and then we stopped at McDonalds to get some dinner. We didn't want to eat in her apartment with all of her roommates around so we parked in the parking lot and Avy, Rylee and I ate in the car while Kefford found a spot outside of the car to eat. I was in the front seat and at one point I looked behind me to find Avynlea and Rylee both in tears. Avy was not feeling excited about being left in Rexburg and Rylee was sad about her best friend not living at home anymore. Rylee was making a list earlier about things Avynlea needed at the store and at the bottom of it was a car so Avynlea can pack up her stuff and drive back home and live there forever, that was added by Avy.
Kenedy and Ty were coming into town and they drove a little out of their way to pick up Ryker so they all came that night which was fun.
Bailey and Makayla had their baby the day before so Saturday morning Kefford, Ryker and I went to the hospital to see her. I wasn't feeling great so I opted out of holding her but Kefford and Ryker were able to. Her name is Oakley and she is super cute, I am excited for the new parents and excited for Jeremy and Gwen in becoming grandparents.
After visiting the new parents we met up with everyone else at Avynela's apartment and then went to the student store and walked around campus with Kenedy and Ty helping Avynlea find her classes. We didn't have a lot of time and were in a time crunch, Kefford and I needed to leave with Rylee by 12 because she had to work later that evening so after a short tour we got a family picture outside the stadium and then gathered by our car to say goodbye.
Rylee was the only one in tears and struggled with saying goodbye at this point, Avynlea was fine because she still had Kenedy, Ty and Ryker with her for a few more hours otherwise she would have been in tears as well. It was hard leaving Avynlea at school and I teared up a little but I know she will have fun and is where she is supposed to be.
Avynlea had her first day of classes on Monday and she sent me her back to school picture. She looks super cute and ready for a great day!
