In August I took a trip to Virginia sans Cannon. I missed that little boy a whole lot. I did manage to have a great time with my sister Whitney and my cousins Chris n' Kenni. They were great hosts. Whit decided to pursue her educational endeavors at Southern Virginia University. It's a tiny little school in a tiny little city. I got to play 'mom' and help her get nestled in to student life there. We took many trips to Walmart and Target. Thanks to our good buddy Mr. GPS we only got lost a handful of times. It's not so bad getting lost when you have beautiful countryside to look at. Virginia has a lot of countryside.
I stayed with my cousins that live there and go to school there. They were so great. We watched movies every night and I caught up reading several books that I've been wanting to read. We also got to chat and catch up on life. I relished my time alone. I went to a sidewalk cafe one day and ordered a smoothie and read a book for a few hours. That was definitely a highlight for me. Whitney and I ate at a Waffle House restaurant. The waffles really were delicious. I crave the yummy syrup we had with them.
Whitney was all settled in by the time I left. She and her roommates got along great. It brought back memories from when I first left home for school. She's all grown up and on her own now.
I'm so glad I got to go. Virginia is beautiful. I missed my boys though. Thanks so much to Jarom and Grandma Sheri and Grandpa Dave for watching Cannon while I was gone. He was definitely in good hands.

She just loves to have her picture taken.

How fun! I didn't know Whitney was going to SVU! I was sooo close to going there! I had a half tuition scholarship and everything. It looks so beautiful. How fun to spend time with your sister!
I totally want to go to Virginia someday. It looks so pretty!
I'm so glad you are back...like so many others I almost went to SVU as well! It was a little too far away for me though. I hope Whitney is doing well and not missing cute Cannon too much!
Remember the first day we moved in together our freshman year? I remember after our parents left we all just sat there in the front room not knowing what to do! We had so much fun though! I love all my memories from that year.
Always wanted to go back east, looked fun.
What a pretty place to go to school. Living out of Utah will be SO much fun. Plus, it will be even more fun for you to visit!
