Our oldest hit a new milestone in her life, her own apartment. What was supposed to be a shared basement ended up being private living quarters. Her roommate decided not to return to the college this fall.
It is a uniqe experience visiting your child in HER apartment. Instead of feeling 'old' like I expected, I felt proud. I couldn't help but marvel at the young adult she had become.
Her place was neat & tidy, with a little furniture here & there to make it feel at home.
It's also a free hotel now whenever I need a place to stay in Columbia. The bed may not be as soft, or the shower as spacious, but the company is worth it!
