Joel moved into this apt August 1

Here he is with his 2 roommates, Will and Evan.  They have been friends since kindergarten and 1st grade respectively.  He and Will lived together last year and he and Evan have often shared a tent at scout camp.  I think they are compatible!!!

I am sad that he moved into an apt. (instead of a dorm) because I feel like he is less likely to come home.  His dorm was the size of a matchbox.

The good news is he already came home :0)  right after moving in!  He isn't really moving into his place for 2 weeks, but the boys shared a Uhaul, so he moved all the big stuff and much of the small stuff to the apartment.  He also works at a lab. in Ames, so he will be taking car loads to his apt. when he goes to work.
