My little brother, Allen, (okay, little isn't very accurate, he is 6' 4" but younger than me) is leaving for Provo tomorrow. This comes as a big surprise for all of us including him! He just graduated from BYU in April and was preparing to attend ASU law school starting today. Well, on Friday afternoon he got a phone call from BYU saying that they had decided to accept him at the last minute! Very exciting news as BYU's law school is higher ranked than ASU, not to mention thousands of dollars cheaper. So, the poor kid had basically today (Monday) to get all of his affairs in order - ie. return text books, drop out of classes at ASU, find a place to live in Provo (a trick when you aren't there!) not to mention a hundred other little things. He managed to get the big stuff taken care of and now he will drive up to Utah tomorrow and start school on Wednesday! I am so sad and already missing him - I thought that we would get to hang out a lot for the next few years but now he is going to be far away again. I think this is all made so much worse when you add in the fact that my little sister, Chery, will be starting at BYU as a freshman in a week so she is leaving too. Luckily I still have my baby sister, Celsea, to see often. Sigh, I know this is normal family stuff but it is still so lonely! Good luck to Allen and Chery!

Oh, wow! How exciting for Allen and Chery to be up there together!!! I know how you feel...
How exciting for the Quist family! Way to go Allen and Chery!
That is crazy! Your family has blue running through their veins! :o) By the way, when did your sister get to be such a beauty?!
Wow. That would be a LOT of work to have to try to arrange all of that last minute, but definitely worth it!! Congrats to them- they are a cute couple:)
That will be nice for the two of them to both be at BYU! That made a BIG difference for me in starting there. I am forever grateful to have had family there my first couple of years. Congrats to the both of them! They'll both (especially Allen going to law school) have less student debt upon graduation than anyone else they end up working with! That is the lucky thing about BYU :)
That's awesome! Congrats to Allen. I can't believe they're both going to be gone and Aaron and Rebecca too, what are you all going to do!
