Chris found me a great duplex in Fort Smith. He saw the For Rent Sign a couple weeks ago. I couldn't get to Fort Smith to look at it, but we new it would go fast, so Chris went to look at it for me. He took lots of pictures and emailed them to me. I decided to take it based on the pictures and Chris knowing enough of what I like and don't like. I probably can't put into words how perfect it is for me. It is just a couple of years old. It has a garage, which many of you know I have been missing since I moved from Maumelle. And, speaking of my house in Maumelle, the duplex reminds me of a smaller version of it. It's 2 bedrooms, 2 bath...yes, that means come visit me!! I have plenty of space! And lots of closet space. My closet is larger than all 3 of the bedroom closets in my Little Rock house!
Obviously, I was very happy when I stepped into my new home. Which was a good thing considering everything I owned was in a trailer just minutes behind us. I did all the usual things, opened doors, cabinets, drawers, and the refrigerator....and that's when I got the best and most thoughtful surprise. Chris had in the refrigerator a bouquet of flowers, bottled water, and milk (I really like milk). In the freezer were popsicles and ice cream. But that wasn't all. The water was not going to be turned on at the duplex that weekend, so Chris had bought huge containers of water and put them in the bathroom so that we could flush the toilet. That's a pretty huge thing for me. It turns out that the water did get turned on, thanks to Chris' mom, Debbie. Thank you!
