Mom's presence and help around the house was a huge boost in getting more settled. While she was here, cool furniture arrived from Malaysia that they had shipped over, and we bought a sofa and loveseat from Salvation Army. Woohoo! By the time she left I was ready to make some decisions about the upcoming months. THANK YOU for coming, mom! And THANK YOU for sending her, Charis and Dad. You guys are the best family ever.
