My last post was about my peaceful camping trip over Thanksgiving, and the calm before the whirlwind that awaited us the following month as we prepared for our big move. Here it is almost February now, and I cannot fully explain what the last two […]

The last few months have been turbulent, to say the least, and the shadow of our upcoming move has been looming over us as the date grows steadily closer. Though we’re both excited for this new adventure, there are some days when the weight can […]
