My Son Made Me Do It!

Facebook has put me in touch with out of town relatives, keeps me in touch with my kids (even when they're in the same house!) and most recently, brought me a new client. Who also happened to be my high school sweetheart, once upon a time!

"Fred" and I met when we worked at the same store. We dated, grew up and grew apart. He eventually married "Marge", who also worked at the store, and I eventually married "Raymond". We'd all run into each other throughout the years, the last time being in 1993, when my son was still in a stroller.

Fast forward to this past summer. That same son (who is now visiting colleges...yikes!) was asking about my first job. We started talking about Fred, and I decided to look him up on Facebook. Fred wasn't there, but Marge was! My son said, "Add her as a Friend, Mom!" At first I hesitated, but I really wanted to know how they were doing after all these years. So I did it.

I hit the "Friend" button!

A few days later, she accepted my "friend invitation" and we started chatting. And she's a wonderful girl woman. Fred couldn't have picked a better wife!!

Then last month, she wrote and said they were thinking about moving, and asked if I could show them a house they were interested in. As soon as I calmed down about seeing my old boyfriend again after all these years, I got excited about having my very first Facebook client!

So we looked at the house, they fell in love with it...and it closed today!

Thank you Facebook, thank you to my son, and a HUGE THANK YOU to Fred & Marge!!

Enjoy many, many years in your new home!
