We left Washington on thursday morning and stopped off in Pendelton, Oregon for the night. I picked up room saver flier and it looked like hotels were cheaper an hour away and we were tierd and didn’t want to drive into the mountains until the morning. There was an $80 coupon for a Holiday Inn in Pendelton, I wasn’t planning on using it since I was sure there was something cheaper. All the hotels were packed and even the cheap motels were either full or charging a hundred dollars for a room. So I figured that we might as well stay at a nice hotel for $80 with our coupon but the Holiday Inn would not give us the $80 price so we ended up paying $100 for our room. It was a nice room but after 3 months of sleeping on a memory foam mattress I found the bed a little uncomfortable.
We arrived in Provo around midnight Saturday morning. My brother in law and his wife helped us with move in on Saturday afternoon and now we have just about everything organized in our new apartment! It is an alright apartment I was disappointed at the cleanliness, I thought that student apartments were given strict cleaning inspections. I didn’t mind all the food and cleaning supplies the boys who lived there before left behind but the used toothbrushes and bars of soap were kind of gross. Someone even left a graduation tassell behind.
Sariah and Rebekah were much better than we expected on the drive. We made sure to tell Sariah often how good she was being and we even bought her some candy at a gas station which she was excited about since we hardly ever let her eat candy.

I’m glad you are all moved in. I’m surprised the apartment was so messy. When I lived on campus at USU we got fined if we didn’t leave the place nice and clean. That’s great the girls did good on the trip, my boys hate long car rides.
