If you remember, DH and I stayed with DD and her family when I was first diagnosed. It was a little crowded and no one had any real privacy, but we loved being with them and miss being actively involved with them on a daily basis. We've dreamt about finding a large house with a separate in-law suite or cottage (with a little acreage and of course a pool! if we're going to dream, why not dream big - ha!) ... only to realize that we'd need to win the lottery first to be able to afford it. We have managed to find an alternative ... we're going to buy the house right behind DD's house. ;-)
We will be closing at the end of October, which seems like a long time from now, but I think most of you will agree that the time will pass by entirely too quickly. So DH and I will need to get right to work on packing and getting this house ready to sell, as well as planning the improvements and upgrades we'll be making to the new ... unfortunately that won't leave much time for blogging (especially since we are still planning to be in Hilton Head for two weeks next month). Suffice it to say, we're going to be busy as bees. ;-) Once we get moved and settled in, I plan to be back with a full report.
So until then, I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy ... have a great day!

wow! such great news for you - hope your house sells fast and that you will enjoy your new home. I hope the new home will not need a lot of work - is this a very far drive from where you live now? I had thought for some reason that you lived fairly close to each as it was.
ReplyDeleteThat is great news for both you and your daughter! I'm sure she and the T's will love to have you so close.
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous!!!! My in-laws bought the house behind ours when their home was demolished in the Northridge earthquake. We shared so many fabulous times together and it was wonderful to be able to pop in whenever wanted or needed. You are going to love it. Have fun packing. ;-(
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I am so happy for you all. What a blessing to be so close to family you love, yet still have your own space.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting news! It makes me so happy when I hear of families that love being together and want to be closer. I wish you well with your move and will look forward to a photo home tour when you are settled. : )
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Good luck with the whole process. XO
ReplyDeleteGreat news! And new adventures await, good luck with the sale of your current house and the move!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! You will be busy, busy for a while. Hilton Head will be a great break in the middle of all of the chaos. Enjoy the journey... ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - that's such exciting news!!!!! Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. That sounds like the perfect home for you. Your always in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! How blessed to be able to find a place so close to your daughter :) I don't envy you the task of moving, but it will be so worth it in the end! I continue to pray for you, often, and am so happy that you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip to Hilton Head and think of me while you're there... I hope to spend my birthday on SSI, tomorrow. I'll be looking forward to hearing all of your news, once you're moved and settled.
Take care.

OH MY this is wonderful for you!!! Enjoy your trip and survive the move and enjoy getting settled in !!
ReplyDeleteOH MY this is wonderful for you!!! Enjoy your trip and survive the move and enjoy getting settled in !!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy I can just imagine how exciting this is for you. Praying your house sells quickly and there is not a lot to do to the new one. I think being "neighbors" is about as good as it can be for relatives. Close enough to be totally involved, but yet still have your own space. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is great and hoping it will all go smoothly. We'll miss you and will be anxious to hear all about the move and the new house. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move! And have a wonderful vacation. Life is about to become a little more active.....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new home. Everything has fallen in place.
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous Kathy! I know you'll love it once the move part is behind you. I'm gearing up for a move this fall too. Good luck with the sale, and enjoy your new home!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful, Kathy -- being so close to your daughter and grandchildren and yet having your own home. Won't your grands love being able to visit you and your husband every day?! I loved a few doors from my grandmother growing up and I have fond memories of nearly-daily visits to her house.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a grand time at the ocean and that you're able to finish everything you need to before the closing.

As reported by Stanford Medical, It is really the one and ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 kilos less than we do.

BTW, What I said is "HOW", not "WHAT"...
