Me: Thanks, I appreciate that. D12 is scared but excited. We all are.
Smokey: D20 is back at school isn't she? When will you be moving? Or should I say when do you start? It looks like a nice town.
Me: It is a nice town. D20 isn't in school, she is coming with. She is looking at Syracuse, but we still owe the $2500 (the money he promised to pay!) to school before she can enroll anywhere else.
Me: I don't have a place yet, so I have to lock that down before I know an official start date.
Smokey: I thought she had gotta a ten thousand dollar student loan? (Um, that was last year)
Me: It was too late to add the $2500 (when he told me he wouldn't be paying) to her loans last spring. That needs to be paid off before she can go back.
Smokey: Oh Ok, is she working?
Me: Yes
Smokey: Where?
Me: XXX
Smokey: Good for her. hope it's going well for her.
Me: Thanks for support and encouragement. gotta go.
Smokey: OK bye.
