A Double Date with Our Teenager. Yes, really!

Photobucket


We got the keys to our new home today! It was so fun walking through the totally empty house and imagine where we are going to put our things. The carpet throughout is all brand new and it smells like fresh paint and everything is spotless. I love a fresh start y'all. LOVE it!

Mima has been talking a lot about how excited she is that we will be living around the corner from my folk's. I think she is mostly excited because she will get to see Coco whenever she fancies. Coco loves Mima and would spend all day curls in her lap getting her back rubbed. Mima is looking forward to "tending Coco" on Saturday while we make the big move, so "Coco doesn't get underfoot". Adorable.

This Wednesday we are going to take a break from packing and go on a double date with Jordan and the boy who is taking her to the Winter Formal. Our teenager invited US on her very first official date. It makes me HAPPY that Isaiah (the boy) is willing to meet us and share a meal before the BIG date.

We move in FOUR days. Holy smokes that all went FAST!!

PLEASE link up your HAPPY list I need a really good excuse to have little breaks throughout the day and reading your Happy Lists and visiting your blogs is perfect!!

I wish you a painless move. I know you cannot wait!!!

Have fun on your double date, that should be interesting.

MiMi said...

Good luck with the move. Can't wait to seeeeee you as soon as ticket prices drop! I need me a ca fix.

VandyJ said...

OK so my brain was not working and I linked the wrong post first, sorry.
Congrats on the move--you'll be settled before you know it.
A very big honor to be invited on the first date.

Jessica G. said...

Her first date?? How sweet!

gretchen said...

You have a darling girl there. And congrats on the new house!

Could you send me the WWTK questions again this week? I need to get on the email list, but I never seem to know which of you guys I need to talk to. Email - gcgerman@sbcglobal.net

Congrats on the move, and have fun on your double date. :p That's so cute.

Yay for new carpet and a fresh start!

Whoohoo on the first date. Wow. WOW!

I'll consider a happy list.

Yay for the big move! Congrats on that and sso cute that mima is stoked about coco moving close.

Beth said...

That is fantastic! Clearly, this boy has some good things going for him. The only date I ever went on with parents was when I took my Dad to prom. I cannot conceive of being cool enough in high school to have asked my folks to double date with me. I'm sooooo impressed by Jordan right now!

Kristin_Texas said...

Thanks for your lovely comments on my blogs!

And I'm sorry, but did you mean my link to my 'Happy List' for today? It showed up fine for me (the actual 'Happy' blog post and not my homepage), so I don't understand. My apologies.

About email: I prefer not sharing my email address (avoids SPAM, etc), so that's why it isn't enabled. It's just my personal preference, at least for now.

becca said...

wow how exciting keys to your new house and yay double date how awesome

Kristin_Texas said...

Oops, I forgot to say you don't have to reply to my question. I know your preference is through email. Have a good evening!

Kristin

Myya said...

YAY on the house keys. CANNOT wait to see it in pics (because I agree with Mimi, you WILL be sending me some) and of course in person next year!

I love that J invited you guys. That means she has figured out how cool you guys are. Such a great thing when dealing with a teen!

Xazmin said...

That is awesome that you get to double date with your daughter. How cool are you guys?

Good luck with the big move. Make sure to take lots of pictures!

Amanda said...

I hope everything goes well with the move and that you're able to get things in order and settled fairly quickly!

And how sweet to be invited on their date!!
