Moving Julia to New Apartment at College

We moved Julia to college at Univ of Iowa.  She has an apartment with a friend so it's the first time she is living on her own.  She got a lot of cute stuff to fill her new place and we gave her some of our old stuff too.  I made a basket full of fun stuff for her new apartment which included wine, wine glasses, wine charms, wine opener, candy, chocolate, heel shaped ice, candle, framed picture of her and her brothers and a few other things including some gift cards.  She loved the gift and I had so much fun putting it together.  I individually wrapped each present with white, gold and silver and put everything in a beverage tin that she can reuse.  

Shortly after arriving her mom asked me to open the ninja blender so she could clean it.  It was very hard to open and after using all my force it shot open and the blade sliced my wrist.  I didn't even feel it, but there was blood gushing so she headed over to the hospital.  The waiting room at the first hospital as a mess so we ended up at a private hospital and got right in.  I had to get 5 stitches, which was my first time.  It was a crazy experience and one we will never forget.  

After the whole ER visit things calmed down and we opened her gifts.  Afterwards we went to dinner at a local bar and then had cupcakes at a cute place next door.  

We are so proud of Julia and the wonderful woman she has become.  She is beautiful on the inside and outside and is such a sweet, caring, smart, fun girl.  We know she will do great at Iowa and can't wait to see where she ends up in her career.  She is studying psychology and hasn't decided exactly what she wants to do, but is interested in law and helping people.
