So I just could not leave you my lovely readers without an update on my crazy move. I woke up at 4am in Minnesota and did not step into my Provo apartment until 7pm. Let's just say receiving a boarding pass with the name "Rhonda" on it, one incompetent travel agent, and many tears later I made it. The entire travel fiasco is an entire post in itself, but on to the "good" stuff I know you want to read:
•Gorgeous view of the mountains and the "Y" from my apartment. Dad, don't the mountains remind you of Hawaii/Kona? They have snow at the peak and are covered in lovely greenery.
•Be a major nerd and have the receptionist take my picture in front of work. Please excuse my ugly, triangle hair. I had a staff meeting at 7:30 and after that was off into my amazing internship. I do my first interview tomorrow. I am so happy to be doing this-
•Get my id picture taken:
•Go to the bookstore to search for a planner, no luck : (
•But... find a new bag
Because I know you want to know:
•My roomies are very nice, I have two
•It was rainy today so my perfect first day of work outfit was ruined by walking up 900 (or whatever street it is)
•Went to the creamery and had a treat (as a reward for walking all over this entire town)
Provo is good. Despite the rain.

Glad your there safe and sound- Hey we have a close family member that works there- I will email you his name.
Have fun

yay! sooo glad to hear you made it there safe & sound. And ugh - so sorry about the travel fiasco. I feel your pain.
Love all the pics! And realize now that there is no place on BYU campus that you would be considered a nerd for taking a photo. You really should see my freshman year scrapbook. :)
Thanks so much for the update. Just 3 girls in your apartment . . . .ahhh, that will be so nice. And can I just say that I've got goosebumps just thinking about you being there?! It just brings back so many memories and I am so excited for you!

Katie!!! I just discovered your Blog, and I fell madly in love with it. Your pictures are amazing, I have always wanted to be able to take great photos... I will have to read your tips. I like the new tote, BYU is lucky to have you, I can't wait to hear more about your summer. Keep it real :)

yeah, i'm glad you've made it, sorry it was such a crazy trip that is aweful, especially if you were by yourself

Great landing Katie! You have worked all your life for this moment in time. I have every confidence Provo will not be the same now that you are there young lady!
Internships are wonderful ways to try new approaches and to learn other ways to share our talents.
Glad you only have a few room mates! Send us interior photos of work and home.
Love,
Dad

Hooray! I'm so glad you're there. You're going to love it. Sorry about the traveling, though--I am NOT a fan of airlines.:( But, you're there, and it is going to be great!

AHHHHHH!!!!! Katie I am so proud and happy for you. I can't wait till I home and I can call you. I'm coming to LA in July, but I think that a layover in UT is waaaay overdue. So glad you're happy. So glad both of us have found happy places but still have one another. What a blessing, right?
