Thursday, Katie and I drove to Auburn to meet Jon to look at some condos/townhomes/duplexes to live in for after they get hitched (and Jon to live in after he graduates in May). We went to lots of areas but were most excited over one particular duplex that we heard about, at a great price. Jon map-quested it and we headed right to it. Jon/Katie were sooooo excited to learn the low rental price and how neat this duplex was. It was just precious and perfect for a newlywed couple! So they were in: ECSTASY! Great area/great price! they called to say "WE WANT IT" only to find out one "fly in the ointment": we heard, "there is someone who wants it and is supposed to let them know today if they want it or not. we'll let you know ASAP". The next few hours were agony!!! In the meantime, we drove by several other areas. Lots of neat places around town (yes, even in AUBURN! HAHA), but none to compare to the duplex. We were waiting to hear if they could get it so we had to kill some time.AND, what girls do when they are stressed? Well of course, we went SHOPPING!!! After shopping , in the cold, we went to McDonald's for a cup of java. Then, the phone call came. And, more AGONY. The duplex was taken! what a disappointment is an understatement!!!! we were sitting in McDonalds when we got the news. So, while Katie grieved over this "unfortunate turn of events", Diego (Jon's friend from Brazil who is one of his good friends/fraternity ) consoled Katie (over hot cookies, of course_) and to decide where to go look next. SO, after an apple pie and some coffee , the girl was over it and ready to look some more!!!! Diego went with us to look at some places and he also took us to a few that he knew about . By that time, Jon was thro at work and he met us again for dinner and to look a few more places before we ate. Jon was really bummed, he wanted that duplex! But, by the time we had some chips and salsa was ready to start the whole process all over again. I know they were disappointed, but I'm sure they will find just the perfect place! (Plus, that means another fun trip to AU to have some fun shopping/eating and chilling out!)!
* O.K., now you have GOT to look at the pix at the Fraternity house! JUST LOOK AT THE BATHROOM!!! YES, THIS IS HOW COLLEGE BOYS LIVE!!! Wouldn't their mothers just die? Check out the tub/ the sink/the commode /the NO toilet paper on the roll! hahahaha! Jon is in AKL, which is a Christian fraternity so that's the good thing, but the BAD THING is that nasty Fraternity house they live in! If "Germ aphobe-clean freak-Natalie "sees these pix she will definitely have frightening nightmares! hahahahaha
