Allison Moves to College

On Thursday, August 23, 2007, Allison moved into her dorm room at Towson University. We are very excited about having her within an hour's drive (Towson is just north of Baltimore), and hope to see her more often in the coming four years. She's got a terrific dorm room with beautiful bay windows, and we're looking forward to hearing stories soon from her first week of classes.

"What's going on?!"

One of us got all excited that Allison's floormates were from around the world...Peru, Jordan, Egypt...oh wait...

This is one of two rooms in the building that has a huge bay window. After a little re-arranging, and the addition of a small rug and several pillows, the roommates had a perfect reading area with a view.

Phew!

Although the room is larger than most, with three beds, dressers, desks, roommates, a sister, five parents, and most of everyone's stuff out in the middle of the floor -- it felt a bit crowded. (Especially with no air-conditioning!)
