"Moving On Up"
Though she turned twenty-one in December and legally became an adult then, today Erin really "finished" her childhood. She moved into her first apartment where she signed the lease and is responsible for all of her own bills. The move is because she has a "real" job with a real salary as a spatial analyst.
We went over for dinner tonight. It was funny to see all of the things that she has taken for granted while living at home - a shower curtain, kitchen sponges, spices for the hamburgers. She, Edgar and Leo are living on the third floor. This made moving in fun:-) Leo thinks it is pretty exciting to get to go up and down the stairs to go outside, but his mom and dad didn't like hauling all of the grocery sacks up three flights of stairs.
"Booking It"
Brooke is also about to start a new full-time job. She has been working part-time at the public library and has just been offered a full-time job with benefits! She seems to enjoy what she is doing even though it involves interacting with the public all day long.
I am happy that both girls are settling in to new and exciting adventures!
