Recently we went to visit our daughter and son-in-law in Raleigh. Later, I realized that it was a first - the first time we stayed with our child in her home. Both of them now have permanent jobs which they like. We were there while our son-in-law was baptized and they joined a local church. We met their coworkers and friends. And we happened to be present for a very big step in their young married lives - they put an offer on a house. Both sets of parents toured and checked over the house. We all sat and waited with the realtor to find out if the offer would be accepted. Success! Such an exciting time. I wish we could be there to celebrate with them when they move in. Unfortunately, we won't be back until Thanksgiving. However, I am developing a pile, which is gradually growing, of all her things that we will be sending to her this summer via Uhaul and a friend. I am looking forward to more space in our house, attic, and garage. Really looking forward to it.
Daughter number one is on her way in the adult world. We are proud of her. One down and one to go.
