Sorry about the fb friend not going any farther than just that - but hey his loss and someone elses gain in the future!
Congrats on your new home!!! That is exciting! A new house really allows a fresh start - you can make it your own, decorate how you want it and it doesn't carry all the old memories of the past. I bought my own place last June and it was so therapuetic for me. I look at it as a huge factor in helping me detach and move forward with my life.
