Luckily I went through some pamphlet from USU to Emmy . . . and it mentioned the Family weekend in September. So I got the three of us (plus Emmy of course) tickets to the weekend, plus to the home football game. It was so great and just fun to be with Emmy. :)
Ben, Lucy, and I headed out from Montrose around 1:30 on Thursday. We met up with Jonas in American Fork at In N Out and enjoyed seeing him and dropping off his bike - as well as grabbing some food, of course. Jonas showed off his crazy new wheels he got . . . fancy!
We then continued our way to Logan. When we got there, we went up to Emmy's dorm and met a roommate or two perhaps. Her place is cute and her roommates are truly adorable and fun. Blessing!! We took the girls out for some Aggie Ice Cream and that was fun. Then we dropped Lucy back off at Emmy's (she slept on the couch in the dorm) and Ben and I made our way to our place - literally a room and bathroom in Smithfield. It was nice though with a private entrance - and just the right price, ha.
Friday we got up early and grabbed the girls for an exercise class I signed us all up for at the campus rec facility. It was like a CrossFit class - called Aggie Fit. It turned out to be great and I even think the girls had fun. :) After showering and getting ourselves ready, we met back up on campus for our "aviation tour." There were different tours we could sign up for and I chose this one for Lucy's sake. She's wanting to be a pilot and go through USU's program. (I feel badly crushing her dreams . . .but no way we can pay for that!) It was cool. We checked out the bookstore, got Emmy's meds and some Sushi at Smith's, then back to chill - although Emmy's work calle and asked her where she was . . . whoops. There was a misunderstanding out what shift she was scheduled for - so we dropped her off at her on-campus preschool and then the three of us chilled at Emmy's community center (with Lucy and Ben taking naps on the couches and chairs ha).
That night we played some field games on the quad (well, really only Cornhole) and ate dinner - free food trucks, fun! Then we went to play Bingo and Emmy was just one away from winning in Black Out. Bummer, but it was actually fun and I can't remember the last time I played! The girls went back to the dorm and Ben and I headed back to our place.
On Saturday, Ben and I got up and went for a lovely and beautiful run along the Logan River trail. It was perfect. We then picked up the girls and went downtown for the Homecoming parade. It was a lot of fun. Next was brunch, as decided by Emmy ha. We went to a place she had gone when Jonas and Aidan were both in town one weekend - Gracy's. It was a cute place, but not amazing food . . . Then the girls went off thrift shopping, as well as Ben and I. Ben and I just went to one place but lucked out with quite a few items. The girls found things as well at the few places they checked out. Eventually, we met back up at Emmy's dorm and walked down to the stadium for College Football. The Best. USU had their first win of the season and so that was good! It was a lot of fun for sure.
On Sunday, Ben and I grabbed the girls and headed to a nearby chapel of a regular ol' family ward (Emmy's missing the family ward vibe ha). It was the primary program and there were about 35 kids up there - singing their guts out! Loudest/yelling-ist group of kids ever, ha. But it was sweet. We then drove thru the "drive through breakfast" USU offer (bagels and drinks) and then dropped Emmy off and then drove back home to Montrose. It was such a great weekend!
