Update's From the Ghetto

Life is slowly but surely getting back on track. Though I doubt any of us will ever be quite the same after this experience. It has certainly left us on our toes. Good news is we are hoping to move. You would have thought the robbery was enough to convince us but it was the shooting last night that actually sealed the deal! We were bringing in groceries when it happened across the street. 3 gun shots sounded and suddenly a group of men came rushing out of the house and into the street fighting. We quickly ducked into the house bolting the door behind us and eventually the ghetto got quiet again. Or at least it's version of quiet! We are hoping that last nights occurrence and the robbery are enough to release us from the lease. This is by no means the "family neighborhood" that it was advertised as!

Given the nights drama, I was excited to get out of the Ghetto for the evening! I met up with a guy I met last November at my sister's birthday party. We met when he came looking for his dog who had randomly jumped up in my lap, licked me once, and curled up in a ball and went to sleep as if we had been best buds forever! I hadn't seen him since that night and we hadn't really talked too much but he is literally the only other person I know in Tallahassee besides my roommates and maybe 2 other acquaintances! We had a really good time and I think that for the first time since the robbery I was able to relax and not think about the chaos that has been the last week! We went to Level 8, which is a higher class bar on the 8th level of a hotel. I loved it because the entire front of it was a balcony and we could see the stars really well. Also, I discovered Mango frozen yogurt when we went to a frozen yogurt place after dinner (which was a new experience for me, I didn't know places like that existed).We will chalk that up to being a small-town girl! Overall it was a really good night and nice to meet (or re-meet as the case may be) a new face. Though as I am writing this, I am realizing that I think I just went on a date. Hmmm? If so I definitely like this plot change :)

More news later, hopefully regarding a move! Until then...
