She's there!

Well, we did it! Chelsea is settled in at OCU. Her dorm room is tiny, her roommate seems very nice and her RA is a sweetheart! I'll get pictures up as soon as possible (still need to download them from my camera) but we got her room all fixed-up with lime green fake fur and pink satin so it's a drama queen's haven (as it should be).




We drove her up to OKC on Monday morning after spending a wonderful Sunday night with Chris and Jeanie. Jeanie and I spent time talking about decorating my new house but that will be in a later post. This one is about getting my first little chick off to college and I realize I must be the weirdest mom in the world but I still haven't been teary or sad about it. Just excited for her and sure she's going to have a wonderful time. (Jeanie says it has to do with how well-grounded Chelsea is. She felt the same way with Rachel, just confident that she'd be fine. It's our BOYS who will give us worries!)

It rained the ENTIRE time we were in OKC, in fact it rained from the time we left Dallas until we drove back through it yesterday, but that just meant that the temperatures were nice and cool. I think Oklahoma City will be a good place for Chelsea to get used to being on her own, especially doing more driving. It's laid out on a grid, making it easy to get around and the people seem so friendly and down to earth (even for drama people) which is a very good thing.

She and her daddy got her bank account established, student ID, bills and car registration done so all she had left to do was to get a phone in OKC. Something she can handle on her own without any problems. I'll write more when I get some pictures up.
