Good News From The Taylor Family

Ok, I guess it is time to share our wonderful news with you............................

As I mentioned earlier, Lacy-Jay and Bashar are being relocated to the D.C. area with his job. After months of turmoil and drama their townhouse in Philadelphia has sold. This is good news on several fronts. First, the move to Northern Virginia will bring them much closer to home. A 6.5 hour drive as opposed to a 10-11 hour drive. Secondly, their house in Virginia will not be finished until June. Now stay with me here cause this is where if gets really, really good. Cisco Systems has agreed to let Bashar work remotely from North Carolina until their house is finished in the summer. So............... (drum roll please), they (and two of their dogs) will be staying with us and Bashar's parents (in coastal NC) until the summer!!!! We are so excited to have them here.

It seems that from the time Lacy went to college that our time together has always been limited. We are always trying to cram everything we want to do together into a few days. Now we have months!!!! And the timing could not be better. As I have said many times, Thanksgiving is our families favorite holiday, not to mention Lacy's birthday (11/24), so they will be here in time for Thanksgiving and stay until after our annual Christmas party on December 5th, before going to Bashar's parents house for the Christmas holidays. Then they will be back here to celebrate New Year's will us. After that they will divide their time between the two sides of N.C.

This bonus time together is this Mother's dream. Words cannot tell you how excited I am to cook meals for them. Neither Lacy nor Bashar are picky eaters so this will be fun for me!! Lacy and I can Christmas shop in all the places we never have time to get around to. Just the opportunity to sit and talk without having to rush off somewhere else, in order to get everything in during a far too quick visit.

Not even to mention that our house needs Lacy's touch. She has an incredible eye for design and color.

Thankfully, when we built our house we built the upper bedroom as a second master suite with a full bath. This gives them a complete space all their own.

Our house will be full (as it should be) for a while and we will love every minute of it!!

I hope you can forgive my excited ramblings, as I was just dying to share my news!!

So, Until Tomorrow............
