Words of Wisdom

The day finally came... I had to move my brother into college. You will all probably, hopefully, be impressed to know that I did not cry. Not one tear was shed. Although, I truly expected to bawl and have no idea why I didn't. Anyway, it was a pretty fun day. Minus the waking up at 6 to drive to St. Cloud and then the doing nothing for 3 hours because of how early we were. Thanks Mom!

We did eat lunch at Space Aliens. I love that place! And I bought some super fun stuff. Matt's room is about the smallest dorm room I have ever seen. It was so dirty too! Our family has had 8 move-ins before this one. We had never seen a room that small, and definitely not one that disgusting!

I got off the hook and only had to take up two loads of stuff. After that, Beth and I stayed in the room and organized, made his bed, things like that. It was great fun :) Matt's roommate, Jamie, is nice. His parents were funny and nice too. I think it'll be good. Jamie swims too, so they'll be there to get each other up for their morning practices.

Before we left, Beth took Matt's magnetic message board and left him messages with the College Magnetic Poetry we bought for him. Most of it is "advice" for him, some are just random. I am now going to share them with you. Bear in mind a few things. First, my sister came up with them. Ok, yep, that's pretty much all you need to know. If you know Beth, I think you'll understand :)

Today's Tidbit: Matt won me 300 tickets at Space Aliens so that I could get a 5-foot tall inflatable alien :D
