It was hard to be away from this cute girl for an entire week! It was easier than trek because we did have communication. We checked in with her every day. Texted with her every night before bedtime. We were kept up to date with how much fun she was having and how much she was loving her time at EFY. We heard all about the new friends she was making and about the cute boys she was exchanging 'Contact Information' with....
But we still missed her a lot! Amanda and Liz had an amazing time at EFY. The first few texts we got from her were about the bedrooms being so small and how hot it was and how gross the food was. She really did not want to go to EFY. But, a few hours later she texted to let us know how much fun she was having!
She made some lifelong friends. One of her friends who lives in Vegas is coming to stay with us during Christmas break. She met 2 boys that live in East Kaysville. I guess you have to go clear to Provo to meet kids from the other side of the freeway ;)
She met kids from Temecula, CA.....the city where we were looking to move a few years ago. Suddenly she wants to move there! (Yes, the kids are boys)
She had amazing leaders and fun activities and spiritual experiences. We went and stayed in Provo on Friday night so that the drive Saturday morning at 7am to pick the girls up wouldn't seem so early. We cruised around campus hoping for a glimpse of our girl, but we didn't see her. We found her dorm and found the pick up point for the morning. Saturday morning came and all 4 of us were ready at 6:45am to go get Amanda. Amanda did NOT want to leave! She loved it and said she wanted to stay another week. Mike & I are so happy that she had a wonderful experience and made wonderful friends. We stopped by Brugges Waffles on the way home. Yum!
