MOVING DAY

 FOR EMILY

THIS WEEKEND SHE MOVED FROM THE BIG BLUE HOUSE SHE SHARED WITH SEVEN ROOMMATES, TO THIS APARTMENT THAT WILL JUST BE HER AND ONE ROOMMATE.

I CAME ALONG AS THE PHOTOGRAPHER  :)  WHILE HER AND DANA MANEUVERED THE STEPS WITH THE HEAVY STUFF.

THE HEADBOARD WAS THE EASY PART,

WITH THE MATTRESS BEING MORE OF A CHALLENGE. 

AFTER EVERYTHING WAS MOVED IN, M TOOK A TIMEOUT
TO ENTERTAIN US.

IT TOOK ALL THREE OF US TO GET THE BED TOGETHER,AND IT WAS QUITE A CHALLENGE.  EVEN THOUGH WE HAD AIR CONDITIONING,  I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS SWEATING BY THE TIME WE WERE DONE WITH IT. 

DANA TACKLED THE NEXT CHALLENGE OF UNTANGLING THESE LIGHTS THAT EMILY USED TO DECORATE HER ROOM.

WE LEFT HER TO DO THE CLIMBING,

AND LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT TURNED OUT!

 A JOB WELL DONE,

IT WAS TIME FOR DINNER!
EMILY ORDERED A VIRGIN DAIQUIRI WITH EXTRA CREAM
AND JUST LOOK, THEY BROUGHT HER
AN ENTIRE EXTRA GLASS FULL OF CREAM. 

I LOVED MY SHRIMP TACOS,

AS DID M AND DANA WITH THEIR FAJITAS THAT THEY SHARED.  

WE CAME HOME AND EMILY DID A LITTLE BIT MORE DECORATING
WITH THIS PICTURE WALL,

THE SPORTS WALL, AND HER FAVORITE
AMERICAN FLAG.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, TIME TO REST.

THE APARTMENT IS A GOOD SIZE WITH A HUGE LIVING ROOM (not sure where that photo went), AND THIS GREAT KITCHEN,

LARGE DINING AREA,
SHE STILL NEEDS A TABLE AND CHAIRS,

AND HER COLOR COORDINATED BATHROOM.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, SINCE GORDAN WAS BORN, THAT EMILY HAS HAD A ROOM, AND A CLOSET OF HER OWN.  IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE SHE'S THOROUGHLY ENJOYING IT.  IT'S FUN WATCHING GRANDCHILDREN GROW UP INTO SUCH RESPONSIBLE ADULTS.

ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME EMILY!!!
