This past week-end, we moved Natalie to Vancouver, WA.
Such bitter sweet emotions going on.
I am so proud of Natalie. I think it would be so hard
to leave everything I'm familiar with and go hundred of miles away.
What a brave girl and what a great time she is going to have.
So glad Wynn and I helped her move. It all went very smoothly
and everything just felt so right.
Natalie has a mission companion that lives in Battle Ground.
We stayed at her home and they were very hospitable.
Natalie will at least have them there to help her as needed.
At least a support if she needs it.
Then, we got to meet her new roommate. She seemed wonderful.
Our Brooke went to school with her and gave her a two thumbs up
review. It just all felt good. It was hard to leave her but
I really felt we left her in a good place.
Can't believe she is gone but yet so proud.
She will be going to Portland State University and getting a
masters degree in Social Work.
She will be awesome!!!!
(but she will be missed)
We had to get her a bed. . .
Put together her new dresser. . .
(so much easier said than done, this puppy took hours to put together.)
But isn't it beautiful?
and a desk. .
Nat at her new apartment!
Wynn and I had a beautiful ride home as you can tell by the photo's.
We took the Washington side of the Columbia rive to drive on.
Such beautiful sights!
We stopped at the Bonneville Dam and views the fish ladders.
So interesting. . .
Even a cruise ship!
(we tried to get on but it was full :( )
It just seems there has been so much change in our world this summer.
I'm ready for a nice quiet fall with NO change.
Looking forward to Christmas when all my kids will be home!
