We are finally home! We drove home Saturday and pulled in at 1 am Sunday morning. Dad started the day shift, working Sunday's, today at 7am (8 weeks of that) and I had ward council today at 7am. It was an early start for both of us!! Sister White drove the kiddos to church ... so thankful for her! :) It was a busy start but we had a good day getting back to regular life!
Our week in Logan was great.
Preston had an awesome week at efy! He really loved it! We hardly saw him because he was off by 8:45 in the morning and after he got home about 9:30pm he would get his run in. This week his training schedule had him running for 60 minutes so he was pretty shot after a full day and run.
Preston is excited to go to efy again next year and Wyatt will be old enough too!! It feels like yesterday that YOU were at efy in Logan. What a tradition you started ;)
We saw Madie a few times during the week at "The Hub". She is the cashier at the eatery in the student center. It was fun to run into her all week as we were at the Taggert for various things. She said that she could put in a good word for you to get a job there next year ;) ...
I checked out the housing situation and turns out that students can start applying for housing this coming October for next year. They suggested that we get you applied because it does fill up, especially if you want a specific location. We took a short housing tour and looked extensively online at the different options. On campus looks best! There is an option called the Living Learning Community, (LLC). I would say it is a combo of a dorm and apartment. It only has a kitchenette (frig microwave and sink, no oven), because of that you are required to be on a meal plan in the student center (Taggert). Remember how yummy that buffet ("The Marketplace") was when we toured with Ben and Becky? I think this is a good option for your first year so you don't have to worry about shopping much but will still get good meals.
(There is a full kitchen in the main lounge area of the building tho.)
The LLC is right behind the Taggert with the Institute and Old Main on either side. Trent stayed there and really liked it. It is fairly new, built in 2008. The biggest plus, besides it's location, is the bathroom situation. Much better than other places we looked at...
Each "suite" has 8 students. 3 shared rooms and 2 private rooms. One main living room with the kitchenette and then a hallway on each side of the living space. Each hallway (4 students) share a large bathroom with 2 sinks in the hallway.
Hope this makes sense. I'll send a picture of the floor plan.
What do you think? Opinions?
I don't want you worrying too much about next year ... Just enjoy where you are now! Time goes by so fast!!
I do want to keep you informed though, especially because I will have to sign you up... :)
Well sure love you!!
Please give me details of your days!!
Can't wait to hear what life is like in Rhode Island and who you are teaching and experiences you are having. ...
Have a wonderful week ahead !
Love, mom
