Girlie's lease is over tomorrow and has thus begun the process of moving out from yet another apartment. I remember my days as a college student and apartment living kind of sucks because it is never permanent. The year goes by so fast and before you know it, it is time to move again. Boy is in the same boat, it hasn't been six months that he moved out, and last time we had lunch together, he was talking about the possibility of either staying where they are at, or looking for another apartment, depending on how much the rent goes up.
Girlie is going to Indiana for her internship, still don't understand why so far, but that is her thing. She asked if she could stay with us for a few weeks, since it is still about a month before she has to go. As we have told her before, she is always welcome to stay with us, we have known her since she was four, she is basically a family member. We have three empty bedrooms, well one is filled with weights, and the other is filled with 3D printers, but we do have plenty of room for her to stay with us since it is just Mijo, Wife and me.
Her moving means we usually help a little bit. Nowadays she has her boyfriend, so we are staying out of it as much as possible, they can handle renting U-hauls and what not. Most of her stuff is going into storage, she has a bedroom, set, sofas, TV, all the usual stuff. As far as our house, she said "can you help me take a couple of totes that are going to go with me to Indiana?" We said sure and went over with the Excursion, good thing though. She is packed like she is going away for a year. By totes, she meant those large plastic bins, and all I can say is I am thankful Mijo is so strong. I had him and a couple of his friends go with us, and they made quick work of these bins I am sure she would not even be able to carry down her stairs. Wife finds it unnecessary, as she says, "just take a backpack, you wear the same three leggings all the time, just pack a few shirts and a light sweater, underwear and you're done." This girl has a bin of summer shoes, bin of winter shoes, bin of pants, bin of shirts, bin of sweaters, couple of bins with books. In one of the see thru bins, there was a Jenga, so it is not all necessary crap, but it's on her.
We are doing what we can to help her, she has come a long way, and being that her degree is a semester away, I couldn't be prouder of her. She is still a bit of a knucklehead, but I can also see that she has matured a lot and I can see an adult somewhere in that thick head of hers.
