8-23-2010 Monday - BYU or BUST!!!

We gave Holly this blanket the morning she left for BYU.

Guess who she'll miss the most. And guess who will miss Holly the most... Sasha pouted all morning when she saw Holly packing her car.

We got everything in her car...
But when we hit Cedar City, Holly realized we forgot two huge trash bags full in the garage that were supposed to go. Jeff and Noel flew up with an extra suitcase the next day...

Drew, Noel and Shera surprised Holly by decorating her car that morning...

Brigham Young University
The World Is Our Campus
Enter To Learn. Go Forth To Serve.

Third floor - Chipman Hall in Helaman rules!!!

Hannah, the girl's RA, chose the theme Narnia for their floor. She is an artist and painted all of the characters freehand. Here is Aslan - the lion.

Sir Thomas watches over Holly's room...

Holly's desk, computer, and bookshelves.

Holly's bed is raised to the highest point so she can have a lot of storage below.
She has to jump up into her bed every night!

Holly's chair and "Y" blanket...

We decorated the sink and mirror with butterflies and beaded garland...

There's a little fridge provided too.
Drew and I made her a little "Good Luck Basket" full of treats for her and her roommate, Taylor.

Holly loves her roomie, Taylor. Holly is into drama and singing and is 5'1". Taylor is into softball and track and is 5'10".
See the totally soft and fluffy black sheepskin rug??? Too cute to pass up from Costco!!!

Hannah - a new friend Holly loves too!

Visiting the BYU Bookstore...
World's Best Fudge Ever!!!
Oh, forget I said that...

We had breakfast with Holly the morning she started school as we left to go home...

Ready for her first class...

Bye Holly Berry!!! We'll miss you!!!

What great memories! Look how cute her room looks! I love her butterflies and beads around her mirror. She will have such a great time. And, don't gorget to tell her, if she ever needs a home cooked meal, she is only half an hour from us. :)
