Vacation at Last

Hi guys. I'm doing great. I am going on Vacation from work for 3 days next week, Wednesday through Friday. I can't wait to finally rest from my job and enjoy a great 5 day weekend!

Raffy and I have located some apartments we are interested in closer to our work places, and we're going to move at the end of November. I am looking forward to getting out of here. There was a shooting at my apartment over a drug deal the other day, in the buildings behind our apartment. A guy was buying drugs, then he ran from the dealer, and the dealer shot him in the stomach. Then he called an ambulance, and Raffy and I saw the ambulance show up. The apartments let us know what happened the next day, and we realized then it is a done deal - we're leaving!

When we first moved here, it was great. There weren't any residents that were lower class people. Even if they were, they were decent people making a living, not useless and lazy people who do drugs. We have more of those kinds of residents these days, and all the good people moved away. I mean, it wasn't a dream place to live before, but our management team could be counted on. Our manager is gone due to health problems, and a new lady is in charge.

Hey Alice, are you in Atlanta? I was expecting you to stop by on your way. Please let me know if you would like to stay again. I understand if my stories make you want to go to a motel though! :D It's not like that every day, and we did enjoy having you here. The families across the way from us have moved out now, so we're having a breather from the pot smoking. Or if you decide for a motel, I would like to spend some time with you when you come through town, unless you're already in Atlanta! :D

I'm going to go through my apartment and get rid of alot of junk. That way when we move, there won't be so much stuff to transport! I'm thinking about donating my things to a battered women's shelter downtown. That way I know my things are going to a good cause!

I'll keep updating. Sometimes it is hard to find time to write, but things are slowing down more for me. Hope everyone is doing great!

I'm going to call about that today, actually. We're starting the drive Monday again, so we'll be there Monday night and Tuesday.

I'm taking Matt to the Alamo!

Talk to you in a bit.

Hey Leah!

Glad to hear that you're finally getting some time off! Enjoy it to the max! Mum cried alot over your mothers day present. She showed it off to everyone.

Sounds like your apartment complex evolved into a pretty shitty area. Sorry about that. Sometimes, though, when you're in the reasonably priced areas, I hear that that transformation is hard to avoid. At least you can afford to get out in the next couple of months.
