Things That Make Me Happy – 12

Happy Thursday! And Happy Moving Day to my little family and me!

That’s right – another “secret” I suppose you could say that we’ve been keeping, is that Tommy and I bought/built a house in the same neighborhood we live in currently. I didn’t want to post anything on here until we officially closed (which we did yesterday)! Stay tuned for a recap and house tour coming soon!

Let’s get to the “things that are making me happy lately”.

• Of course Moving Day is number one on this list. 🙂
• Impromptu al fresco dinner with neighbors last night. 
  

  Let me count the reasons why I love my neighborhood…the main reasons – the community and convenience. I had already been planning on eating dinner out last night since our kitchen was all packed up and to celebrate closing. We were also blessed with amazing spring-like weather yesterday. Imagine our surprise when our across-the-street neighbors (that included a good friend of Ava’s, Ryker) were sitting out on the patio of the restaurant we were eating at! We promptly joined them. Then I saw another neighbor (who also is the mom to one of Ava’s other good buds, William), walking home from the metro, so I flagged her to join us. She immediately called her husband and William to come eat dinner and VIOLA!

• Trying (new-to-me) coffee shops.
  

  Slipstream.

• Seeing Ava so happy to be reunited with Dede after her 2-week visit back home to Guatemala.
