The College Coed Shuffle and other odds and ends

For some reason, BYU student approved housing has different move-in/move-out dates, which often leave apartment-moving students "homeless" for a few days between the dates they have to be out of their current locations and the dates when they can move into their new locations.  (When Analise was a Freshman, we went to Provo and moved all her stuff into our Suburban and lived with her and our family in a hotel for a few days until she could get into her new apartment.)  We've put things in storage, stacked bins in our home, and moved LOTS of stuff.  This last week, we moved Analise and Kaylee out of their current apartment.  Kaylee was able to get into her fall apartment, but Analise had another week before she was able to move into hers.  So we moved BOTH of them into Kaylee's apartment where Analise then stayed during the week (since she had work) and Kaylee came home to Logandale. (Thus Analise was living in Kaylee's apartment for a week.)  For a family that never "moves" (We've been in our current home for almost 20 years) we sure do a lot of moving.

This brick-riser set up looks a bit sketchy.  Hopefully, Kaylee doesn't crash down in the night :)

In other news:  Made a trip to our Kolob cabin which we have owned since 2003.  It's only the 2nd time I've ever been there, and I've never spent the night-trips are mostly to "work on things" although Kent did take the scouts there for an overnighter...once.  So I don't know why I was a bit nostalgic about this trip in which we were meeting with a realtor about selling it.  I know the investment would be better spent on our kids' college tuitions, but it's such a cute little place, and smelled sooo nice-all piney.

School starts tomorrow.  I'm starting 1st grade again.  (I feel like I've already done it 7x-once myself and once with each kids-but this time I'm starting as the teacher.)

Kay Age 6 First day of First grade (my first time :) Fall 1973. 
I'm really rocking the beaded purse and the short skirt.  (Both were actually "very cool" back in the day.  Because I know my kids will look at this and say WHAT. WERE. YOU. WEARING?! ) I don't know if my selected outfit for my first day of teaching first grade can rival this.
 Also note the gift in my hand-each year as a summer came to an end, Corinne and I would get together and make back-to-school gifts for our new teachers-I think this one might have been a "puffed" picture-made by cutting out an image from wrapping paper, pasting it onto  nice background, and then raising or "puffing" up selected parts of the picture by cutting out duplicates of those parts and pasting them on top of small kernals unpopped popcorn or dried beans which were glued  on top of those selected parts on the original picture.  I'm sure Mrs. Howard treasured it. 

Football is underway-scrimmages in Cedar City and Vegas yesterday for Trent and Luke.

Trent's team won.  Kent was the coach and Luke served as waterboy.

We went to the St. George Temple and did sealings.  I love being in the temple, and loved being there with Kent uniting families for eternity.

Yep this is pre-photo-shop days.  This was done with a film camera, and Kent really did jump that high. 
The photographer wanted him to throw his arms in the air, but he wouldn't. Trying to even get him to jump took a lot of persuasion.  (This photo was taken where the visitor's center now stands.)
