The view out Chandler Stone and Tommy Dudley's window in 3105 Budge Hall says it all. "I am not in Loomis anymore " or in the case of Tommy "I am not in Carson City anymore". David, Sabrina, Katelyn Chandler and Carli arrived in Provo on Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The weather was clear and temperature was in the high 80's. Helaman Halls was bustling with new Freshman and their parents bringing in boxes, suit cases and hanging rods full of clothes. OK, that was around the girls dorms. In the case of Chandler, we were carrying in some suit cases, but mostly white kitchen garbage bags full of clothes. Of course, Chandler got this bright idea from his big sister Katelyn who is an upper classman at BYU. Katelyn used white garbage bags to move across town. Pretty funny.
Katelyn's housing situation did not go smoothly, but she is now in a small house with 3 roomates and is really happy. If you view the photos below you will see how ready the apartment was for Katelyn and her roomate Ashley Sant.
Needless to say that if cleanliness is next to Godliness, well... let's just say that this place wasn't ready for them to move in on the 28th as planned.
In addition, the security of the basement apartment was questionable as you can see from the high quality air conditioning system (swap cooler) at street level complete with duct tape and cardboard. Fortunately the landlord was understanding and willing to work with us and the girls were able to get out of their contracts.
So... we spent the next day renting a U-haul and searching all over Provo for an apartment that would work. That being said, through persistance we finally found something that would work. Katelyn and Ashley are happy and all of the parents are feeling better about it as well. So, it all worked out well in the end!
Let's all hope that there is great success in the classroom for both Chandler and Katelyn.
