So fun to see!
My son is engaged and today he and his lady got their keys to their first apartment. They had NO furniture so decided to save up and combine their money to go shopping together when they found a place.
So today they went out and bought a king sized bed with a huge ornate head and foot board at an almost unbelievable 75% off sale. They both fell instantly in love with it. Next on their list was a TV. Since we have a family member who manages a pawn shop, they were able through him, to line up a 52" Magnavox LCD TV in perfect condition for $225! Tomorrow they plan to move themselves in and go shopping for the MANY household items they don't have. It is SO fun to see their excitement and pride at being able to do this for/by themselves. I'm so happy for them and excited to see how much they're enjoying decorating their space their style. I pray they continue to find SUCH great bargains... it will mean the difference between them being comfortable or not since they agreed they will ONLY buy what they can afford to pay for immediately. Considering we had to PUSH him out of the nest just over 3 months ago, it's heartwarming to see how he has grown and managed since then. I'm so proud and relieved it's turned out as we hoped it would for him. I just had to share.

Wow Tink, you are on a roll with great news today! I am so happy for you. I remember how you were trying to push that young man out on his own and now you can see what a fine job you did raising him.
How exciting for them to fill there new home with their own special taste and at such great bargains. I hope they will be able to continue this great streak they are on.......and you too!

Joel will soon be 22... His lady Shannon will soon be 20. So I think they're doing well for themselves considering how young they both are! This is the happy couple.
joelnshannon.jpg They've been together just over 2 yrs and got engaged at Thanksgiving. We all really love her and are SO glad he chose someone we can truly feel is a daughter to us. She has such big beautiful brown eyes... I don't know WHY she has them pretty much closed in both pictures. lol
