These pictures were actually on the day Ben and his roommates were leaving to head off to Provo to get set up in their apartment. Their other roommate, Austin Nichols from Colorado, was meeting them there.
They were all a little nervous about the whole experience. Ben managed to eat most of his breakfast that morning.
The guys--Zac Hill from Vegas, Benjamin Pingel from Ohio, and "the blond Benjamin" as Zac's father called him--consented to take a photo, but refused to put on their backpacks for me.
I always loved taking a picture of all the kids with their backpacks on each year on their first day of school.
After loading up both cars, there was still room for more stuff. It's a lot different sending a son off to college than sending a daughter off. The girls need two cars for one girl. These three boys got all their stuff in two cars and had room to spare.
They got all settled into their apartment without a problem. They made it to church on Sunday and started checking out the available girls. Resumes have been printed, job applications have been filled out and a couple of companies seem interested.
Here's hoping the first day of school today at BYU was a good one for Ben and all his roommates!

I love backpack pictures too. Come on Ben, you guys would've looked so cute!
I read this post this morning and at two in the afternoon I'm still in shock trying to figure out how three boys squished in two tiny cars when the van was filled to the brim for just me. I loved the comparison.
I can't believe he's already off to school again!
