100 degrees outside! Loving that, acutally... since it's been bloody miserable in Idaho lately, weather-wise. But, we are in St. George right now. Or, more correctly, Victoria and I are... Susan and Amanda are about 1 hour away from St. George, but coming.
Amanda and I came down to St. George last week for Grandma Pete's (Grandma Stone) funeral. She passed away on the 2nd of June from cancer. It was a sad reason to get the family together, but it was wonderful to see so many of my cousins and other family members, as well as meet in person some Facebook family friends. We were down for 3 days and then back to Blackfoot for 2 days.
Yesterday, back to St. George! Rented a car and loaded it to the gills with Amanda's stuff and Victoria and I left bright and early and drove down. We had to meet with the manager at her apartment and get set up to move her in today. Today, Susan, Amanda and Beau came down... er... are coming down. It's taken them hours and hours to travel hours. Tonight we move Amanda into her apartment. Next week, we (not a full "we" but a 75% we) go back to Blackfoot; without Amanda. I-15 will become the trail of tears, I'm afraid. She will start at Dixie State this fall.
We are also staying with Grandpa Pete and taking care of him for a few days, as well as getting in some swimming at my cousin Ira's place. Also wondering why we don't live here ourselves!
Well, I'm going to get ready to take Amanda to meet Aubrey, Ashley, and Allisa, her roommates. Yes, the A Team! And unload the cars and hope there is room in her apartment for it all!
