Chapel Hill Move In!!!

The long-awaited day is finally here . . . Chapel Hill move in!  To say that the car was packed is an understatement.  There was absolutely NO extra space and the kids rode with a massive bean bag on top of them all of the way to school.  LOL

Time to see her room.  To our surprise, her roommate was already there and had moved in earlier than we thought.

After dragging three loads of stuff in with the wagon, the boys were put right to a task.  They built the shelf in no time. :)

The room is all together . . . well except for the desk area that we needed to measure first.  Preston kicked back, proud of his work.

After getting Savannah all set up and walking around campus to hit the bookstore and find the study center we went to dinner on Franklin Street.  It was yummy!  Then we got in the car to drive to Target for milk and realized it was walkable!  Wha!!??  Target is within walking distance of campus and only a super short bus ride if it's raining?!?  So we reparked the car and walked to Target for milk and then realized there was a Crumbl cookie store too.  So we stopped in for my birthday treat to share back at the dorm.

We prayed over Savannah and the year ahead and then left our Gracie Bell in Chapel Hill!

It was sad . . and hard to leave her but we trust she is in the right place for such a time as this.  We know she will do great things and be a light in this dark world.  I can leave her knowing He is in complete control and knows how her beautiful story will unfold.  Nevertheless, it was challenging for this mama bear to let go.  

When we got home there was this box of fresh cookies on the porch from a sweet family who loves our girl and is praying for her too.  So thankful we are not alone in this journey and that SO many people are covering Savannah in prayer.
