Brittney Goes to College

Before dropping Brittney off at BYU-Idaho, we had to keep her hostage long enough to visit all of mine and Brad's family who live in Utah and Idaho.


Brittney with her girl cousins on the Heelis's side.
After church in Grandma Heelis and Aunt Sasha's backyard.
Brittney's uncles enjoying an intense BYU Football game.
The newest additions to the Heelis clan: Talmage Heelis and Dante Pavia. Born  two days apart.
The Heelis family. Note that Brittney is the only one with her eyes closed.
Visiting Grandpa Heelis's grave-site in Lindon, Utah.
Visiting Grandma Manwaring's grave-site in Bear River City, Utah.
Now for the Manwaring side. Brittney with her Aunt kim (and her eyes are still closed!).
Fun times with Brad's aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Brittney (are those eyes closed?) with her dad, uncle Blake, and cousin Emily.

Enjoying a BBQ at Aunt Becky's house.
Finally making it to BYU-Idaho and eating out with our good friends, the Massey's, from Saint Louis, MO.
Brittney's with her new college roommate, Kali, who she shares a room with.
Saying one last "goodbye" in front of Brittney's Dorm.
I never thought I would see the day that I would be dropping off one of my own at the exact place I lived over twenty-two years ago. Brittney has prepared herself in every way to begin this new chapter in her life, and Brad and I could not be more proud, and happy for her to finally have this opportunity to spread her wings and fly. We love you Brittney!

It was so fun to see all of the pictures of your trip out to drop off Brittney. We were just out in Rexburg ourselves visiting my brother and sister and their families. The pictures of family you posted are great. Those two babies are adorable. I didn't even know Sasha was expecting. I hope Brittney will love her time at college.

Thanks for coming and seeing us. We loved being with you even for a short time. I hope we get to see Brittney while she is just a few hours away. We love you guys.
