A few weeks ago we moved my little sister into her dorm for her freshman year at Iowa State. She's now in her second week of classes and seems to be settling in well. I still can't believe that little Rachel, who daydreamed about mermaids in the gravel pit and helicopter rescues in the washing machine, is all grown up and taking chemistry.
Her dorm is pretty nice. It's about half of the size of my old dorm room in Iowa City and twice as big as my old dorm room in France. She lives with an engineering student from Dubuque. The girls on her floor have access to a kitchen/lounge at the end of the hall.Rachel came home for labor day weekend so that we could spend a few days together before I head off to France.
Our grandparents, Vera and Harrison, and our great-aunt Kathy came out to Guthrie Center on Saturday. Our cousin Kelsey paid us a visit on Sunday; it was a crafty good time ;).
