Move in day!

So I am officially writing my first blog post from my new dorm! I'm so excited to have this opportunity of living on my own (as far as "own" goes seeing how my brother goes to the same school!).

I moved in yesterday, Wednesday August 20th. It was extremely nerve racking and chaotic. There was so much stuff that I packed and as I look out into my new home, I realize there is so much that I forgot. I still need to print/hang all my pictures on my walls and I left all my jewelry, books and miscellaneous things back home by accident.

We packed up the car around 12 pm and headed out into the new life that was awaiting me at 1 pm.

Clothing and shoes

The bed of my truck was full (I couldn't close the top!) and the backseat of the truck was packed to where I was the only person who could fit. 

My school is an hour away so we got there around 2 pm. We finished unpacking everything around 5:30 pm. Can you say tired! It was 90 degrees outside and I was walking all over campus to get checked in. 

My rooms theme was blue colors.

The blue cork board panels are from target, my bedding is from bed bath and beyond and my lights are from a party supply store that I got for my graduation party. On the head of my bed I still need to hang pictures. I'm planning on hanging them with clothing pins and yarn. I think it will look great with my room. I'll have pictures of it in an updated version of this post. 

My dorm is a suite style which means it has four different rooms with two people in each. It has a common area which is out living room (beautiful view!).

We also have a bathroom of two school style toilet stalls, a shower and a bathtub/shower.

Another thing that our RA (room advisor) did was make cute signs on our door saying who was where. 

Cute touch!

So far I'm loving my room and campus! I'm so excited to see what God has for me this year. I'm extremely nervous and have intense butterflies fluttering all around my stomach at times, but I know God is good and that he's guiding my steps.

One of the hardest moments yesterday was saying good bye to my parents. After being in a familiar setting for 18 years it's hard to move away. You're moving from everything you know and have to learn a whole new area.

Can you say scary!

That's it for now loves!

Have an amazing day filled with joy.
