REXBURG!

This is Jason's new home for the next 3 months.  He has a small microwave, fridge and freezer in his dorm that is shared between him and his roommate.  There is one wall that is closets with drawers, and a loft bed with desk underneath on either side of the room. One of those drawers is his snack drawer:)   The bathroom is long with a lot of  storage. 
There is not kitchen or sink, so he will be making his kool aid in the bathroom, as well as washing his dishes.  YUM!  The door on the bottom is his dorm.

We got him all organized and moved in, and thankfully the boxes we shipped got there the afternoon of move-in day.  There were activities for the new students, which Jason did a few of them.  He met his new roommates and even has a girl following him around already.  His roommates were pretty bummed about that! 

If you've never been to Rexburg, Idaho, here's the lowdown.  There is a main street, (which isn't Main Street) that has all the happenin' places.  Mc D's, Jack in the Box, Arby's, KFC, Wendy's, Wal Mart, K mart, Deseret Book, DI, a movie theater and bowling alley.  It's about a 1/2 mile long thru this part.  Main Street has Taco Bell, the local grocery store, and a Jamba Juice.  The college campus is probably bigger than the town, and the temple is right across the street from campus.  Why I didn't get any pictures of any of that is besides me!!  And that, my friends, is Rexburg! 

The big deal Wednesday night was that Wendy's ran out of baked potatoes.  Seriously!  
Idaho = Potatoes:)

Jason is having a bit of culture shock.  School starts tomorrow for him, so hopefully he will be settled in and feeling confident for his first day of college.  Emily was saying that the hardest time was the 2nd week of college.  I asked why and she said, "EFY is over".  That pretty much sums it up.  (Especially For Youth is a week long church program that occurs on college campuses throughout the US.  There are classes, games, and many activities for the youth.)

Good luck, Jason.  I know you can do it!  And the best thing about BYU schools is that the semesters are 3 months.  Which means a harder semester, but it's over sooner.  He is also happy that he is on the Fall/Spring track, so he will get to come home for a San Diego winter.  REXBURG!!
