"well Roxie here we are!" Emily said as they pulled up the house

"wow" was all Roxie could manage when she saw it.

Emily and Richard noticed the look on Roxie's face and laughed on the inside

"Come on, lets get inside and you can choose your room. you can put your clothes away and then we'll have some lunch. After that would you like to head out to Ikea to get new stuff for your room?" Emily asked

"yeah, sure" Roxie said still in awe of the size of the house

All three walked inside. Richard headed of to his office after apoligizing to Roxie for not joining them, but that he should be getting ready for his business trip tomorrow and that he would join them for dinner. Roxie and Emily headed upstairs excitedly so that Roxie could choose her room.

After walking around for about 15 of minutes, Roxie had found the perfect room. It had a HUGE window that overlooked the neighborhood and she was able to see the mountains and the sunset at night. The room had origianlly been planned as a storage area, but Richard and Emily had never gotten around to using it as Emily had though that the sun coming in from the window would fade everything she put in there so she kept the room empty. The room had stairs going up to it and railings on the each side of the stairs in the room. Roxie already knew how she was going to decorate it.

"um, Mrs. Gilmore" Roxie said "I already know that this room is perfect for me and I know how I would like to decorate it, but I can't put my clothes away till were done so would you like to have lunch now?"

Emily smiled and said "Sure"

Roxie and Emily had lunch together and had a "mother daughter moment" Emily had found out pretty much everything Roxie had gone through, all the homes she went through, all the schools and even how Roxie still kept in touch with some people. Emily was very amused by Roxie. She had a tough girl side to her, but she also had the polite side to her. A wonderful addition to the Gilmore Name.

"well Roxie, now that we've chossen your room and had lunch would you like to go to Ikea now?"

"yeah, sure!"

Emily and Roxie headed out to the car and drove off towards Ikea. This was going to be an eventful shopping trip...
