Some Good News Was Needed

jadedmusingsMy landlord called this morning to talk to me about something Sam had discussed with her husband. She'd meant to call me before, but had been busy and I had meant to talk to her and then Mom got hurt and I've been distracted too.
Anyway, as of August 1, I'll be renewing the lease for another year...with Sam's name on it too. We're cleared to move in together! The only difference is a $50 rise in rent, which is the same as she's charging for another mobile home they've recently acquired, and I'm quite all right with that if it means I don't have to move and get to keep the kiddo in the same school as well as finally having Sam living here as a family.
Sam's happy, his parents are happy, my mother was thrilled, and the kiddo was very excited when I told him. I'm...nervous. Not because I think we're going to be awful together, but more because I'm always anxious and nervous when things start looking up after a lot of stress.
So for July, going to be doing some work around the house and gradually moving some of Sam's things over here, and then some other things of his will have to go into storage I think. There'll also be a consolidation of our book collections. Possibly going to getting rid of duplicates at some point (which I'll post about here or on Goodreads). Either way, I already need more bookshelves, so that's the first bit of furniture we'll have to see about buying because we're both bibliophiles and raging nerds.
I also have an update on Mom, but I'll get to that later.
