Brittanie moved into her apartment today. It was rough on all of us....including Katie. But we are proud of her. Tom took the checklist and went through the apartment with a fine tooth comb marking down things that were wrong so that we aren't responsible for them when she moves out and also things that need to be fixed now.....like the doorstop in her room is broken and thus the doorknob busted the sheetrock....again. You could tell it was patched and the knob was allowed to go back into it before it dried. It is a nice apartment but it is not well kept. The carpet needs shampooing. We are going to loan her our shampooer so she can do that Wednesday. There are tons of dead bugs in the fluorescent light in the kitchen. But considering college students live there, it is pretty nice. It is much nicer than the two dorm rooms I have lived in when I was in college. We met her roommate. She is African American and seems nice. One of her friends (maybe a family member) was very nice and friendly to us. Tom and Jonathan were already done helping Brittanie get all of her stuff in when the roommate started moving in so they helped her too.
On the way in, we were seeing people everywhere with burgundy shirts on that said "I like to move it move it." I asked Brittanie where everyone is getting those shirts from. She didn't know. Before she finished unpacking, we were all hungry so we went to Ruby Tuesdays. On the way out, we saw them again and noticed they had a tent set up. Tom said that after they were done moving Brittanie and her roommate in, and were on their way back inside, a group of them wearing that shirt asked if he needed help moving in. They told him they were from a church and that is one of their outreach missions....to help college students move into their apartments. I thought that was so nice!!
Before we left Brittanie's apartment, she went to the office to turn in her vehicle registration form and got her "clicker" that will open the gate for her to get in and out of the complex. Nice!! I love that she is in a gated complex like that. Makes me feel a little bit better.
Anyway, here are some pictures I took before the battery in my camera died.
The kitchen
The living room. The brochure and the tour guide told us that every room had a big screen TV. That's not a big screen TV. WE have a big screen TV. That's not even close.
Walking into her room. She has a black down comforter, burgundy sheets, down pillows, and Gamecock pillow shams. She has a Gamecock valance for the window but she has to buy a curtain rod to put it on.
She was smiling big in this picture but the window behind her makes it impossible to see.
Her chest of drawers, Gamecock laundry basket, and protection (a wooden bat with her name carved in it.)
Posters on the side of the bed.
Carolina Panthers night light
Her desk. She doesn't have the laptop and docking station on it yet.
This is over the desk. It is the autographed poster that she got at the Steve Spurrier Ladies Football Clinic. It has the 2008 football schedule on it.
Another shot of the poster, her lava lamp, and her JROTC top shooter plaque.
The window. I love the camouflaged bag that says "Cadet Sightler" in pink.
I have to admit I got teary eyed when I saw that she took this frame with her. She has been having it since she was little. By the way, the crystal on the side of her has a Carolina Panthers helmet, Panther logo, and "Panthers" in it and the base lights up and makes the crystal turn a bunch of pretty colors.
