Kelly's new adventure!

For quite awhile now Kelly has wanted to live on her own, in her own place and in a big city. She saved her money, found a place to live and even had a job interview all set up for the new Nordstrom store that was set to open the following week in downtown Salt Lake City (City Creek). That's what I call determined! On March 12  Lee Lee was kind enough to join us on our trip down and after we got Kelly all settled in we left for more adventures of our own!

Kelly had been packing days in advance and just kept adding to her pile. I did not think for one minute that everything she wanted to take with her would fit in to our car but she made that happen too!

One thing I LOVE about Utah are thier wide streets. They rock! With all the wide open space in Canada I'm not sure why the streets are so narrow here. I guess Brigham Young should have settled Canada too because he knew what he was doing!

Here is Kelly right after she got her keys to her new studio apartment. Look at the expression on her face! (You will have to click on the photo to see her sweet smile!)

As she was walking to her new place, Lee Lee and I drove to the front of the building so we could begin to unload her things.

This is the front of her new place. It's called The Covey apartments and they were built in 1909 I believe. It's a very charming building!

This is the entrance inside. Is this not so cool? You can just imagine back in the day what it may have been like. The elevator is on the left of the hallway and it's the type where you open a door and then slide the elevator door open your self.

This is Kelly's place! (after she unpacked of course) Original hardwood floors and a Murphey bed to boot! I'm not sure what kind of wood is on the back wall of the bed but it's very nice and rich. Probably original too.

Here is her cute perfect little kitchen. She even has a window in it which is great for a small space. Oh, and an ironing board that comes out from the wall.

This is what you see when you walk out of her apartment building and look to the right. Kelly is 2 blocks from temple square.

She see's this everyday and.....

....she walks by this everyday. Can life be any better for her right now?

This is the employee's entrance to Nordstrom. Kelly has just walked in for her interview. Yes, that's Lee Lee pointing the way.

Lee Lee and I decided to wait for Kelly in  Desseret Books during her interview. Here she is after her interview telling us all about it.
They told her that they would phone the next day to let her know. They called her that evening at 5pm and offered her the Hostess job at Sixth and Pine! She started the very next day and has been working full time ever since!

Days before the store was set to open, Lee Lee and I were invited to eat at Sixth and Pine so the employees could do some training. The food was really good, they poured us fresh lemonade the whole time and the entire meal was on the house! Thank you Nordstrom!

Here is my Kelly doing her thing at Sixth and Pine on opening day. Her cousin Clark was there and took this cute picture of her. He too lives in SLC and lives mere blocks from Kelly. Isn't life sweet?
