Today, after two early morning appointments for hubby at the VA in Gainesville, I will be in and out at home because our youngest son is closing on his first home. I have done most of the leg work and running around for him so he didn't have to take off work but today is the day! The best news is that he purchased the house right next door to us so for me, it is the best of both worlds. He is moving out to his own home but will still be right next door! How fun!

He also has given me a budget room by room to decorate for him so tomorrow, my very creative DIL and I will be hunting down bargains and making things to make his new place a home. I just had to say something here. Can you all tell how thrilled I am for him??????

This sounds like a very nice break from the usual routine! Have fun. Congrats.

What a gift to have him next door! Enjoy the decorating and congratulations to everyone!

Sweet! Congrats.

Oh how fantastic. I can just feel the pride beaming from every word in your post. YAY for having him on his own and even bigger yays for still having him nice and close!

Have fun decorating!

Great celadon & son! When my daughter graduated from High School, she moved into our garage apartment.
We had such a great time having her in her own space but right next door to us! You're gonna LOVE it! I can totall
relate!

Thanks guys! It has been a wonderful day. David is off at the gym for his daily workout and I am just done putting dinner for the guys in the oven, baked ziti . So for me, there is a great big pot of turkey thighs about ready for shredding up and making into turkey salad for me! I love this stuff and using thighs keeps it so moist. Plus it doesn't hurt that I put an entire head of garlic in the pot and let it flavor the meat! No vampires around here! Have a great evening neighbors!
