Terry,

Some comments, sure to stir up trouble:

1) No need for a separate /boot
2) No need for 8.4GB of swap. 1, max
3) 50gb / partition? really? How much stuff do you have installed?
4) Why are you painting yourself into a corner using physical partitions?

Personally, I'd create one big PV on the disk, create a 10gb LV for
root, and however much you actually need (and a bit extra) for home
Grub can boot from it fine, and it'll give you flexibility for growing
where needed later.

The fact that I was using such a setup when I moved from spinning disk
to SSD made my transition much easier:

1) Physically install SSD, boot as normal
2) pvcreate a PV on it.
3) vgextend the VG onto the new PV
4) pvmove all extents off the old PV onto the new PV
5) vgreduce to remove the old drive from the VG
6) grub-install to put grub on the MBR
7) shut down, remove old spinning disk
8) put feet up and enjoy the SSD

LVM FTW

cheers,

     / Brett
