Thankful Thursday

We got an interesting phone call this evening.  My MIL and her husband just wanted us to know that they had sold their house (what?!) and they will be moving to Wisconsin next month (WHAT?!).  Obviously a lot has been going on that they chose to not share with us.

It was less than two months ago that we were all together for my SFIL's birthday bash at our family's go-to Italian restaurant for celebrations.  I'm pretty sure that all of these plans were in the works at that point in time, but no one said a word.  At least no one said a word to us.  I am willing to bet that my husband's siblings were very much in the know in regards to this planned move.

Bottom line -- what my in-laws choose to do is their business.  Unless they're doing something dangerous or illegal, I have no right to offer my unsolicited opinion.

So this Thursday, I'm thankful that my in-laws have sold their home and are moving into a house owned by and located across the street from my younger SIL.  GA will be able to keep an eye on her mom and stepfather and help them out when they need a hand.  The day was quickly approaching when my in-laws would not have been able to live independently, so I'm thankful that they made the decision to move before the decision had to be made for them.
