Road Trip!!

Ok, so this last week we have been packing, shopping, and getting Kristen ready to leave for school.  She is planning on going to the University of Utah and live with my Sister and Brother-in-law.  She is so excited.  I am excited for her, but I will miss her teribly.  She wants to study to be a Biomedical Engineer.  She is a smart cookie and I know she will be in good hands.  She will also love how dry Utah is.  I am not sure she will be too fond of the freezing winters though.
I have never seen her cloet this clean before.  Now I really know she is leaving. 
Kristen started going through her junk.  Tossing and organizing.  For the last few nights she couldn't even sleep in her bed since she had all her things she was going to bring piled high..  She just slept in Ida's room.  I don't think Ida really minded at all.  Ida is getting a little sad.  Losing two sibblings in 7 months has got to be tough.
A grreat place to put things.  This is half the stuff she started out with.  I just thought about taking pictures now.  Isn't that always the way it goes?

Kristen going through things she wants to take.  Her room and our house is starting to look like a hurricane hit it.  I am just being patient, for soon I know it will all be packed in her car with her.

And there is still so much to pack...Where will we put it all???  I love space bags!!
Leaving Sunday...I wish she had a bigger car.  I am worried we won't be able to pack our suitcases in next.  I could always mail things to her...
