Morgan headed back to Provo on Friday. She got up at 3:30am to catch a 7am flight. She was thrilled with the fact that she didn't leave Jacksonville until 4:00pm. She could have slept in a bit. She got everything figured out and switched her shuttle reservation. She arrived in Salt Lake City at about 9:30 and took the shuttle to Provo. She couldn't get into her apartment at 11 at night, so she was able to procure a safe place to stay with someone she knows from Jacksonville, although this friend wasn't actually at the apartment at the time. Funny thing is that we know so many people in Utah now, but things just didn't match up and she had to figure a few things out on her own. She was homeless and foodless for a day, but she used her time wisely and went to the bookstore to get her books before the crowds arrived. Travis put in a call to his cousin Daniel who lives in Provo, and Morgan made it over to her apartment after all. She called and got all her boxes delivered from storage. This is where it is nice to have a male cousin living in the same apartment complex - Paul came over and helped her move boxen. Then, after wedding dress shopping, Katie came by and took Morgan (and Paul) grocery shopping. Morgan called me from the store and by all accounts, they were having too much fun grocery shopping. I can guarantee that I don't have that much fun at the grocery store. She is now home with food. I can rest well.
Thanks to all of you who helped her out. Holly, it was so nice of you to continually check on her throughout the week and help find a place for Morgan to stay Friday night. Now comes band camp on Monday!!
The remaining children are doing well and survived week one without any mishaps. Maddie is adjusting to Seminary life very well. Travis and I are glad to have graduated from driving to and from Seminary!! I was grateful for my first weekend. I did a little work at home so I am slowly digging out from the "start of school" madness. It looks like it will be a great year for all of us!!

You know things will be fine throughout their lives if the kids have too much fun at the grocery store. If you can have fun at a grocery store, you can have fun anywhere.
I am glad Morgan is housed and groceried and boxen-situated. I'd better get out the stationary and write her a letter one of these days.
