All Is Good

Alyssa came back from class on Wednesday afternoon and noticed that her roommate had removed most of the stuff on her walls, which Alyssa found quite odd. The only thing she could think was that Kaylynn was moving out, which didn't make a whole lot of sense to her this late in the year. Well, several hours later, Kaylynn returned to the room and confirmed that yes, indeed, she was moving out! This totally took Alyssa off guard; she didn't know what to say. She never quite told her why she was moving, but Kaylynn had been clear from the start of the year, that she really didn't want to be in these dorms; that it is quite out of the way of where most of her classes are. In fact, she hadn't even requested these dorms in any of her three choices. Apparently a room opened up in her first choice of dorms, alongside one of her friends, and she jumped on the opportunity.

Well, this provided Alyssa with a prime opportunity, as well.....as of this post, and only three days later, Sarah is now rooming with Alyssa! They are both in heaven. Mom, Adam and I came up for the day and I am writing this up in State College in her dorm room, as Alyssa and Adam have the Trailblazer and are helping Sarah move the last of her belongings over. I'll get the pics posted once we get back home.

So whatever Kaylynn's reasons were, overall I guess it doesn't really matter....because now Sarah and Alyssa get to be together!

New name on that door

Still working on the room (note Nani sound asleep on Alyssa's bed...LOL!)

Looking better after I made Sarah's bed while they were still collecting her stuff in her old room

New chair....looks comfy, huh?

GREAT NEWS!! Michele, love the pictures. Makes me miss my old dorm room (though not the communal bathrooms). So glad Alyssa gets to be with her buddy! I lived with my best friend Ann for three years and it was a blast.

And how nice of you to make Sarah's bed. :)

Should I ask why Sarah is called the shark? She looks about as un-shark-like as one can get! (meaning sweet and friendly)

The mostly pink room is so colorful! It looks like it has a cheerful feel to it.

I think the 'shark' comment was meant to be a joke, because we had just gotten back from Target where we had bought a Shark vacuum cleaner for them to use in their room. Alyssa's old roommate had the vacuum cleaner and it went with her, so they needed/wanted one.

I agree, Sarah doesn't look very shark-like!!
