Despite my inactivity here on this site, we’ve actually been doing quite a bit. Unfortunately, with everything else that has been going on with moving and such, that quite a bit didn’t make it on here. So, time to take our life out from the shadows of moving and share it with you. Somewhere amongst the [...]

It’s always an odd feeling traveling back to the town where I grew up. And yet we do it almost every Summer. It bewilders my husband. And this year, I tried to explain it to him. See, growing up in a small town, everyone knows everyone. And, when you leave that town, it’s almost as [...]
