It was been a drama filled week out here in Colorado!<\/p>\n
I’m pretty sure I wrote about Tuesday’s adventures but just in case, I’ll do a quick review of Tuesday and then bring you up to date as to what we’ve done this week. \u00a0Hold onto you hat!<\/p>\n
#1 Daughter and I were going to go for a day of shopping on Tuesday. \u00a0We had a list of all the places we wanted to visit and were on our 3rd stop of the morning, paying the rent for February.<\/p>\n
Her new roommate (#1 Daughter had only been in this place 3 weeks) had left a note saying she would be on vacation for one week then would be back. \u00a0She hasn’t been seen or heard from since. \u00a0She has been fired from her jobs. \u00a0Her cell phone has been shut off. \u00a0Nobody knows where she is. \u00a0Very strange.<\/p>\n
The landlord is not a nice person and told #1 Daughter that her money would buy her 2 weeks on the apt. \u00a0Seeing as #1 Daughter’s name is not on the lease, and the landlord is not a very nice lady, we didn’t trust her and told her that we would be out by the end of the week.<\/p>\n
That put an abrupt end to our shopping. \u00a0We immediately switched from shopping mode to “I have three days to find a place to live” mode. \u00a0Otherwise known as panic.<\/p>\n
Things were not looking good. \u00a0The price of housing in Colorado is unreal. \u00a0There were a few places affordable but the situations were less than appealing. \u00a0It would have been better to live in her truck! \u00a0 Then, she caught a lucky break.<\/p>\n
Through a friend of a friend of a friend, we found out about 2 places that were open immediately. \u00a0Yesterday morning we were going to check them out but before we were able to do that, I got two phone calls from MIL (she’s totally awesome, btw!).<\/p>\n
MIL and FIL had been discussing the situation (#1 Son and told them about it) and they wanted to help. \u00a0They contacted me about finding hotels in the area and trying to find out their lowest rates. \u00a0They would have #1 Daughter pay what she would normally pay for her monthly rent and they would pay the rest of the months lodging.<\/p>\n
The lowest I could find was $60.00 a night. \u00a0That means, #1 Daughter basically had enough money to cover one week and the In-Laws would pay the rest. \u00a0That’s a lot of money all the way around! \u00a0We told the In-Laws that we would accept their very generous offer if the two places we were going to go see fell through.<\/p>\n
Off we went!<\/p>\n
The first place was great! \u00a0The was a townhouse. \u00a0#1 Daughter would be renting a bedroom. \u00a0Not the greatest arrangement but it was better than nothing.<\/p>\n
When we got there, the lady was awesome! \u00a0I mean, awesome! \u00a0She made it very clear that she did not expect #1 Daughter to come home after work and bury herself in that bedroom, the house was hers, too. \u00a0No big deal. \u00a0The lady just wanted a little help covering her expenses. \u00a0Incredibly affordable (by Colorado standards, mind you), all utilities included. \u00a0Washer\/dryer were there for her use. \u00a0Internet…everything! \u00a0Nice neighborhood. \u00a0It was perfect!<\/p>\n
We told this lady we had one more place to visit but that we were very interested and would let her know in a couple of hours and then left.<\/p>\n
We drove 2 blocks when #1 Daughter’s phone rang. \u00a0It was the lady at the second place, the place we were driving towards. \u00a0“My apt flooded last night.”<\/p>\n
#1 Daughter got off the phone, we turned around and drove back to the first place and told the lady we’d take it. \u00a0WIN!<\/p>\n
The next thing we did was pack up her old apt. \u00a0She lived upstairs in her old place, so we carried boxes, mattresses and stuff down those stairs and loaded them into her truck.<\/p>\n
In her new place, her room is on the second floor, so we carried all that stuff up the stairs!<\/p>\n
Fortunately, it only took us two truck loads to get everything moved. \u00a0Now, mind you, that truck was loaded but we made it fit. \u00a0HA!<\/p>\n
Also, #1 Daughter gets to keep her kitty!!! \u00a0We will be driving back to Mississippi tomorrow sans cute, sweet and very fluffy cat. \u00a0Sad Panda.<\/p>\n
We had a lot of people praying this week and very generous In-Laws who were very graciously willing to help out to keep #1 Daughter with a roof over her head until something came up.<\/p>\n
Once we had finished the moving, we drove to a place in Windsor, close to MFH (My Favorite Husband) and my hotel and got ourselves a well earned beer, played a game of pool and called it a night.<\/p>\n
Whew!<\/p>\n
