Moving Day for Legare

I'm taking a little break from the question answering to show you our weekend activities up in Chapel Hill. We moved Legare into his very OWN apartment. NO more roommates. He thought that living with two gals that he already knew from college (who were in law school also) would be a smart move. Nicer apartment...they would understand the need for quiet time, etc. Well, the honeymoon lasted all of three weeks, but he had to tough it out for the year.

We agreed to let him stay in the same complex...lots of his friends live there and he is SO excited about having company now. While I directed the decorating of his room in the old apartment, the girls did the downstairs and it was AWFUL. He spent all of his time in his NICELY decorated room or at the apartments of friends.

We hardly got back from dinner (Yes...we did go back to Il Palio...delicious once again) last night before three of his friends arrived to wish him well and see the new digs. I think they were scared to go to the other place. No sofa yet...I had to throw some Belle sunshine on the Bassett Furniture manager as soon as I got there Friday afternoon. It will work out. Legare hasn't had enough life experience in home decorating to know that "it will be here in four to six weeks" means eight to twelve weeks, if not longer. He's tired, bless his heart (who isn't?). He had interviews in NYC and DC last week and is headed out on Thursday for more in Greenville and Atlanta.

Here are a few photos from the weekend. He's a good boy and lets his mama be in charge while she's there. It might possibly look totally different now that I'm back in the Lowcountry (but WHY?? It's almost perfect for an aspiring young lawyer's first apartment). You'll probably want to move through the show manually...for some reason it wants to go too fast on this end.

  11. Living alone while in school is a blessing. I only lasted two years before I rented an apartment alone, so I understand.

    The apartment looks great!!!!

  12. It looks wonderful - y'all did a great job!!

    I wish I could entice Meghan to come home on Thursdays with a good home cooked meal and casually bring up that she needs to clean out that litter box, but she would only laugh - I don't do "home cooked" meals - ever!! I've deprived my child of that lovely memory!! I'll have to use money or something to bribe her?

    Good thought though - ;-)

    Happy Monday -
