Suddenly flying away

[primsong]

My daughter and her roomie were given a lead by a coworker that there was a one bedroom opening up in a good complex, so they gave it a whirl - the manager said they could have it if they signed the lease that day and were willing to move in that very night, and so they did!  They took sleeping bags and slept in their otherwise empty apartment just because they could - it even has a great view of the pond and fountain that decorates the little rec center.  The competition here for housing is fierce - when we went to start moving things in the next day a lady showed up at the door saying she thought *she* was supposed to be moving into it instead the next day, we just shrugged, let her know they already had the papers and the keys and to take it to the manager... didn't see her again.... I hope they just had the wrong apt for their sake, it's a big complex.

And to top it all off, both girls can even walk to work from that location which will save them a fair bit of money.  We moved her furniture today, wow what a whirlwind ride - when she woke up that morning who knew it would be the last time she ever slept in our house in her own bed, just like that?  Away she flies, and all is well.

Amen! It was fun having her open up her fridge when we were there, it was completely empty except for one lemon X-D
Made me remember my first night in my first apt, when I opened the fridge and all there was was a block of cheese my mom had stuck in there before leaving.

I'm so glad to hear this. And it makes me want to clean up, and appreciate, my own place a bit more.

You're so right - I go from there into what now seems like a huge living room at home and I am so appreciative of what I now have.
