Amber's wish comes true.

After all was said and done, We arrived in Provo.  It was a bit interesting. We got to town, around 5 pm, and found Amber's dorm, which was Heritage Hall Building #27.  Amber had a number to call when we got there, so she could put her stuff in the basement storage room, because she wasn't going to be able to get into her room until 7pm the next day.  We were unloading the car, and a couple of guys came over and started helping caring the boxes to the basement.  Amber was all smiles!  She was so excited to see that willingness to help from complete strangers!  She had no problems leaving us after that. It was dinner time, so we found a park up the canyon, and had a picnic dinner.  We let the kids play around a bit till around 9pm.  Then trying to find a hotel with a room with enough beds for all of us was turning out to be a bit difficult.  Finally we found one, but we would have to get to separate rooms.  So Bret, Keaton, and I shared a room, and Amber, Ben and Sam shared a room.  That's the first time we've ever had to do that. 

The next day we all got up and got Amber back to her building to put her last bit of stuff in the store room, said good bye,then off she went to Freshmen orientation, with out us. We walked back to the car, and the kids wanted to go to the bookstore, so we walked there, and we each got our BYU shirts and souvenirs, and headed back to the car.  We drove to Salt Lake, where we were meeting up with some old friends of Bret, Stephanie Collins, now Hanson, and they fed us lunch and took us on a tour of Temple Square.  A lot has changed down there since I was there in the late 80's!!!  It was amazing though and the boys enjoyed seeing the Salt Lake Temple in person, and seeing the outside and the inside of the Conference center.  Then it was time to head home.  With out one of my children.  But I'm excited for her and hope she has the time of her life!
