Goodbye Summer, Hello School

Oh summer, I will miss you. I'm looking forward to having my days back so I can get some stuff done. Mark and Mikayla posed in front of these cool signs at Coral Canyon on back to school night.



Jack is a freaking senior this year! I'm so glad that I didn't have to get Maxine home from a mission and Jack ready to leave on a mission. I'm glad we have this year. He and Mark are ready to go! Jack told me he didn't want a backpack because it just makes his back hurt. He said needs one binder. 


Mikayla started intermediate school this year. The busssssss. So early. They seem to be in good spirits though. I'll drive her on muffin Mondays so I don't have to make them so early.


I cannot seem to find a first day of school picture for Juliet on my phone. So I included this picture that was that same week. There was mountain bike practice in Cedar City and it was raining. As they finished this awesome rainbow appeared.


I don't feel like I was done with the start of school until I got Maxine off to college. We left the following week on Monday, August 21st. We drove two cars because she needed her car up there and I needed to get back home. Everything pretty much fit in her car.


We got gas and snacks and started our long day.


Logan! It's beautiful here!


We got everything up to her dorm room in San Juan Hall at USU. She's got her lovely bed made with her quilt! She has 5 room mates. Then we ran to Walmart to get her some food because that pantry was bare. I didn't feel good about leaving until she had food to eat. 🍎🍌🍚


 Proud of her!


Maxine said moving into the dorms felt like transfer day. Except now she can call home whenever she wants. 😘 
I turned around and drove home. Logan is far away but we were able to get it done. I'd thrown in a sleeping pad but didn't need it. I got home at 2 a.m. I maybe should've stayed overnight but I just wanted to get home. It made for a long day but I got my girl taken care of. That was important for me. 

Now that EVERYONE is in school. I need to declutter the house. It is a MeSs!
