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.
