The plan was for her to room with Brinlee.
Unfortunately, we didn't know there was a "preferred roommate" deadline, and we missed it. So she couldn't just sign up with Brinlee from the start.
Luckily, because we learned this when we toured BYU last September, Audra applied early so she got an early day to pick her housing. Brinlee was a week later, and since she had the later housing date, Audra could not reserve a bed for Brinlee- instead, Audra had to get her bed, then hope that there were still beds left when Brinlee got on and then Brinlee could reserve a bed for Audra.
See why we were stressed?!?
Audra picked a bed at Heritage Halls- no problems, there were hundreds of beds left.
Then, we had to wait. And wait. And wait until it was Brinlee's turn. And cross our fingers that there were rooms with two beds left.
I checked bed spaces daily, and they were filling up.
Finally, it was Brinlee's turn, and she got a room for both of them! They are officially roommates next year!
There will be 6 girls in the dorm, and they have started texting each other. They are from all over the country, and none of them from Utah- which Audra is very happy about.
She is still scared. And I can't believe in 5 months she will be at college.
But she will be amazing! The world needs her making a difference in it!
