Summer's First Day of School...and second first day of school

When we arrived in Bozeman the first thing we did was register Summer for school. I heard that in previous years the school district basically had a lottery and parents chose where their kids attended. The last two years (thankfully) they have switched back to assigning kids by location. The day I went to register her they told me that she could not go to the brand-new-never-been used-one-block-away school because it was full but they would put her on a waiting list and there was a good chance that she could switch. My thinking was noway would I switch her cause this kid has been through so much already so off she went the first day to the nice-but-10-minute-drive school. We met and loved her teacher, she made a new best friend instantly, and things were great until....the third day of school guess who called me? The district had an opening at the nearby brand new school. I went to pick up Summer and I had one hour to make a decision. When I picked her she was standing with her new BFF and the girl (her friend) looked like she was going to cry. I felt terrible but I left it up to Summer. We got into the car and prayed about it. We went over to the new school, met her teacher, saw the school, and it was 4:25. I had to call by 4:30! Summer looked at me and said she wanted to go there (I think the biggest reason being that we could walk/bike to school). I called the lady at registration and she already knew I was there (remember its a small town). I started laughing and told the secretary this really must be a small town! So, she made another BFF at her new school and now she has two new friends! You know I always think EVERYTHING happens for a reason and I think the reason that all happened was so that Summer could meet her new friend. She is such a nice girl and we ended up getting together with her family this past weekend. So it all worked out.
