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.
