Today we moved Kristin back to Bethel. Cross country starts tomorrow for her. She is in one of Bethel's townhouses and will be living with 5 other girls this year. It was nice to move in on a day when there was no one there. Kristin's friend Meagan also moved in this afternoon. Other than the heat, everything went very smoothly.
It is hard to believe that I moved into Bethel's townhouse East about 25 years ago. I was only one building over from where Kristin is. Same floor, same room. It was fun to remember how life was back then. Allen was a freshman at Hamline (just down the road a few miles). Neither of us had a car so we had to use public transportation to and from our respective colleges to see each other. He (of course) did most of the commuting. It meant taking the city bus to Har Mar shopping center and the Bethel shuttle to my campus. Very time consuming, but I'm sure Allen would say it was well worth it! :) One evening, Allen caught the Bethel shuttle back to Har Mar, but missed the last city bus to Hamline. He walked the last two miles in a snowstorm to Hamline. No kidding! Poor guy. Is it any wonder that I married this man??! Those were fun days. (Maybe not so fun for him, I guess!!?)
I know that Kristin has a great year ahead of her!! College life can be pretty stressful, but really, really fun too. Have a super year, Kristin. Don't forget to call your mother!!
