Two New Aggies

Well, technically Stockton isn't a new Aggie, but he has been gone for 2 1/2 years. Mike made the four of us Toad in the Hole. We packed up three cars and left around 9:30. We woke up Maysen and Preston so they could say goodbye. These kids are going to miss each other. I'm going to miss them. Change is hard. And exciting. And sad. And hard. And happy. All the things.

Jorja tried to say goodbye to Bear, but he just wanted to tuggle

Mike drove the pilot, Stockton drove his jeep and Jorja drove her bug. We parked and waited in a long line to get their keys. Stockton's mission buddy, Max Ramsdell, came and hung out with Stockton all day. He helped move boxes and everything. Stockton and Jorja are down the hall from each other. I'm so excited for them to have this experience! Brett and I lived a few buildings apart when we were here. I could see his window out my own. This would have been so cool! Of course the LLC didn't exist when we went there. Once we moved everything in we headed over to the TSC to get their ID cards. They closed at 4:00 today, but the meal plan is on the cards, so I wanted this done before we left. The line was sooooo long! We met some cool people though. Stephy Johnson owns a ranch in Montana. We talked to her the entire time while Jorja talked to her girl. The kids got their pictures taken and got fingerprinted. Supposedly they can use their fingerprint and the Marketplace/Junction to eat instead of their card.

They were giving away Utah State shirts and had places to snap photos.

We went to eat at the Marketplace but their fingerprint thing isn't working yet. Only about half of the food was open. Too bad it wan't half price! After filling our bellies we went downstairs to the bookstore and picked up a few books for Jorja. Stockton already has his. Both of the kids only have two textbooks, the rest is online. Next stop was Walmart. That place was crazy! Who would have thought it would be so packed on the same day a ton of college kids are moving in? We also stopped at Lee's and picked up a few groceries. It was raining when we left Walmart and it rained for the rest of the night.

We said goodbye to the kids around 8:00 at night. Mike and I drove home in the rain. We pulled into an empty garage. So weird. So sad. Excited for them though.

There was one picture I didn't get, but the kids promised me they would take it. I wanted to get a picture of them outside their windows. I also just realized that I didn't get a picture with them on the A, and I didn't show them their classes like I always did with Maysen. Dang it! That makes me so sad!
