Moving in

We are so tired. My mom flew in to help us move and we’re doing well overall, but we are pretty worn out. Also we should probably go out on a date this weekend and just chill out. Tomorrow I’m reconnecting with an old friend and I’m excited. We’ll try and get a table set at […]

Living in Our Home While It’s on the Market

It’s no secret that we have been trying to sell our home since spring. We had a whole plan, which included selling and cashing out on our current house in order to move into a more affordable neighborhood, closer to my mom, so that we could afford for me to take some time off when […]
