Jessica's Apartment and Lots of FREE eBooks with Linky

Welcome to my weekend blog hop -
Make My Saturday Sweet #214!


The above photo is of a girl's birthday present that Amanda gave to a friend. I found bubble bath that looked like a cup cake and then the cute cup cake mug and added a colorful candy stick lollipop. One day Amanda and her friends will be too grown-up for gifts like these. I'll miss the cute phase.

Amanda's big sister, Jessica, is in her first term and first year of university. She's studying in Wellington where the famous Christian author and minister Andrew Murray used to pastor. He lived from 1828 - 1917. That's a statue of him in the above photo. Wellington is also known for being a university town. 

Jessica is sharing a three-bedroom apartment with one other girl. All the residents in the building are university students. Her room came with a bed, desk, built in cupboards and book shelves. The good-sized kitchen with granite counter tops looks onto the modest living room. They also have a bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower. We're very happy with the set-up and she's also only a couple of minutes walk away from her campus.

Thanks, Karren! She likes it for the week, but still wants to come home on the weekends. It's a good way to learn independence without being thrown into the deep end. :)
The cupcake bubble bath is too cute! And lovely is Jessica's apartment! I am now remembering my first days of independence and how scary and exhilarating it all was! Thanks for sharing with my link up!

Thanks, Shelbee! Have a lovely weekend. :)
Jessica's apartment looks much nicer than some of mine in college. Thanks for sharing on #FridayFrivolity

Yes, it's especially nice and we had to find her a place last minute. There were lots of problems getting her registered. Most of the forms we filled in or faxed in were missing on their side, so Hubby and Jessica spent several hours at the office doing everything over. The universities in South Africa were hard hit with rioting in 2015 and 2016. Even her university in Wellington lost their administration building through arson. By the grace of God she got registered and an apartment on the Friday and began classes on the Monday in February. Thanks for visiting!
Oh my goodness! After going through all of that, the classes should be a breeze.
What a lovely apartment! Good for her :)
Thank you for hosting!

Thanks for the RT! And I'm impressed that you look so young with a son turning 25! Congrats!
What a great apartment. Lot better than what my daughter had. Good Luck to her.
