“Well, I just walk around and look at things. Try figure out what where.”

“Excellent. So, what do you think we need to do to make our apartment a home?”

“Can I have a bed?”

“Yes, I think that we both need one of those. Maybe even bunk beds for you, just in case. (He beamed at her with those words.) So, I guess that means that we should do some furniture shopping. Did you find a store where we could get that kind of stuff?”

“Uh huh…”

“Great! Did you find a store to get some clothes and then some food?”

“Yup, I did.” He said proudly.

“You are amazing. Let’s go inside and figure out how we’re going to do this, okay?”

“Okay… I so happy you get job you like.”

“Thanks, Buddy and I’m so glad that we get to be family with each other.”

“M-Me too… I hungry again…” He shared with her shyly.

“Me, too, it sounds like we should find some food first before we figure out our next step?”

“Pease…” He said to her and she smiled, placed him on the ground and then reached for his hand and off they went in search of ice cream to celebrate this first day of being with each other. When they finally arrived back home, they made of list of things that they needed to make a home, and then off they went to begin the journey of the creation of their home and family.

Their first stop was the furniture store where they ordered two beds, his, a set of bunk beds, hers, a queen-sized bed, dressers, lamps, a sofa and loveseat plus a recliner and end tables, a coffee table, a TV and DVD player, and whatever else they could think of that would fill their home with comfort. It was arranged for it all to be delivered the next day.

Their next stop was a clothing store where they purchased some new clothes for them both, and a couple pair of shoes for Ozzie, winter coats, boots, gloves and a stocking hat for both of them. After they dropped all of that off at home, they next went to a kitchen shop to purchase dishes, pots and pans, glassware and everything else they needed for setting up their kitchen and it would also be delivered the next day.
