Lucy moved down to college last wednesday. Only thing is her dentist here didnt have her crowds finished so she had to come back this weekend in order to get them done tomorrow, then she will go back. lol. Kinda crazy, but what can you do. She fell off her bike when she was nine, breaking her two front teeth and her arm. Sooo shes had to wait till she was 18 to finally get them fixed. (she did always have caps on till now). Its been a long time comming and shes thilled. But anyway she drove down with her friends on wednesday and has had a fun few days of enjoying summer before she has to tackle work, school and drill team. The past three years being on the minerettes she gave up her summers for so shes really enjoyed having this time this year to do fun things. With this drill team the rebelettes, shed only be dancing six hours a week, not six a day. We drove up friday and filled up her closets with needed supplies and then she drove back with us for the weekend. She will return for good tomorrow after her dentist app. Next week she has to get books, has a few apps at the school, starts work and starts dance. Week after, school will start. Her apts are like a palace, she gets her own room and its huge. She really lucked out about work also. Chuck a ramo in draper where she was working was able to get a transfer for her to the St George location. Just mins from her apt. Shes only going to work two evenings a week but thats all she needs. The draper location also said they would hire her back for summers when shes back here for those, so you cant beat that. Here are some pictures of her with her friends in the first few days, at play and at there apt.
Lucy with her best friends, Ruth and Eden, Eden still has a year of HS so wont be joining them for good for another year. But Lucy gets to share her apt with Ruth and some of the other team members from Rebelettes. I must say how much i admire Ruth and Eden, they have always stuck by Lucy with all her crazy schedules with minerettes the past few years. Unlike my other kids when involved with things that took them away from them, they never have ever given her a hard time about it, never made her feel bad that she had to pratice or travel to a competion instead of hanging out with them. They are wonderful girls, and even came to try outs at St George to support her and didnt moan that that might take her away from some of the things they wanted to do with her down there. You cant beat true friends like that. I feel bad Eden has to wait a year, its got to be very hard on her. Im sure shed be down there every weekend with them.
The girls doing dinner there first night. lol. It was spotless when we arrived so luckily they all know how to clean things up good.
The apt has six separate bedrooms, two huge bathrooms and a huge living room, a kitchen, two fridge freezers and a huge pantry.
Lucys dresser, i was very touched that she took the picture of herself with her grandparents with her. The picture was taken the night before they went home after christmas, just two weeks before Nanny passed away. Im so glad we did pictures of each of the kids with her that night. They will always treasure them.
Ruth knows some boys that are there from South Jordan, they had access to boats and toys, so thereve been busy boating, four wheeling and other fun stuff. I guess the boys go on missions in a couple of months.
Well thats the first few days of Lucys college life. If your ever in that area im sure she would love to see ya. I must say im very proud that all my girls have had the courage to step out and do college away from home. It really does make them grow up and learn to take care and support themselves. Its something i think all kids need before they settle down. With the boys they had there missions which helped them grow up. I admit i dont understand the digs i get from some people about it, i dont see that its wrong for them to be out there experiencing life before they settle down, we have never been in a rush to get them married. When else in there life can they do this if not now? I dont agree with keeping them stuck to my apron strings until they get married. Let them live life. They are only young once. If you dont like it, thats fine. But drop the digs. I dont give them about your kids. We all are lucky to do things the way we want too, so lets just all enjoy doing that.
