Kris and his former roommate Tim have been looking for a place for a bit over a month. The didn't like the place they had (it was really too small for two people) and thought they had a place all ready to go, so they didn't renew the lease. Only to find out, when the time came, that the landlord of the other place and rented it to someone else out from under them.
So Tim was living with his parents (not a good situation apparently) and Kris was sleeping on the couch at another friend's small place (again, not a good situation). This was, obviously, cause Kris a LOT of stress and anxiety, but they continued to look for another place. Today, they signed the lease on it.
It's in the middle of town, further from Kris' work than the original place, but not as far away as the other place rented out from under them. And it's a duplex, which is nice. Two full floors and a basement and attic, with an extra room for Tim's son when Tim has his visitations with him (the mother has primary custody).
Today after work, I was supposed to help them move stuff out of storage, but, well as happens with things surrounding Kris with alarming frequency, plans fell through and things changed. Instead, after work, I picked them up at Wal-Mart where they were buying stuff for the place: a lamp, light bulbs, trash can, blinds for the windows, toilet paper, a cooking set, etc. They have a bunch of stuff in storage that I was supposed to help them with, but as I said, plans fell through. But they got what they could tonight and plan on getting the stuff moved tomorrow afternoon. While Im in work. So I wont be able to help.
But regardless, Kris and Tim were proud of the place, even though it had nothing in it. And it was great to see Kris all happy and smiling and relatively stress-free again.
Im happy for them both.
