Our family always pushes itself to the limit but today was one of the topmost busy days in the history of the Heinisch family. For some reason both Brett and I woke up before 6 AM this morning. By 6:30, I had cut his hair and was already working on a project at his apartment while he was getting ready for a dentist's appointment at 8 AM. As soon as Brett was finished, I met him at Midas so that he could his get both his tire and turn light fixed. We went straight from there to Columbus for our first apartment tour of the day.
I had not been to Columbus in years and was interested to see what it looked like. The first complex was a remodeled Residence Inn with two-bedroom, one bath apartments available to rent. Brett liked the idea of living in a hotel, but it wasn’t quite as nice as I was hoping for, and Karen thought the living space was too small. Thankfully, the second apartment complex was a lot nicer. They had a multitude of floor plans to choose from, everything was updated, and they had a great common area with an outdoor pool, coffee bar and exercise room for the residents. I really liked it; Karen thought the pictures looked fantastic and Brett was impressed with all of it. While we were enjoying lunch at McAllister‘s waiting for our third appointment of the day, Brett and I went over his finances as the Midas repairs were more than he thought they would be. I wasn’t really surprised as I noticed on the drive home Monday night that his brakes needed some work. Once we got through that, we made it to our third apartment without any issue. It was a sister property of the second one we saw with apartments with the same layout. Brett liked the two-bedroom, two bath with the garage, but both Karen and I really liked the two-bedroom, two bath with a desk and more living space. In the end everyone was very excited to have some options for when they get ready to move at the end of May.
Next, Brett took me on a tour of the Extra Space Storage facilities that he works at and showed me around downtown Columbus. We made it back to Bloomington in time to let Grandma and Grandpa in, unpack what they brought for me to take back to Florida and give them directions to Cameron‘s apartment. While they were hanging out with him, Brett and I went to Men’s Wearhouse to pick out a suit for his wedding party. It wasn't exactly like he and Karen envisioned, but they both absolutely loved the consultant's suggestions. Meg was happy when she saw the pictures of the suit as well as she had suggested the same color scheme before we went.
When we got back to Brett’s, Cameron, Grandma and Grandpa we’re just finishing a game of Racko. It ended just as Cameron needed to leave for a meeting at assembly. Hall. While I was running him there, Grandma and Grandpa then played games with Brett.
Tonight, we were able to fulfill our plans from this summer by attending a performance of Clue. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was so much better than I ever thought it would be. It followed the movie pretty much exactly with a slightly different ending. It was funny and very entertaining, and thankfully shorter than a normal play. Both Brett and I were starting to wear out from such a busy day, so we were happy to be back at the apartment before 9:30 as we all had early morning wake up calls. Today was exhausting but definitely rewarding. Overall, I was thrilled with all that we had accomplished and happy to have spent time in Bloomington with Brett and Cameron.
