5. House Update – We’re Moving!
Friends, it’s FINALLY time. We’re moving!!
We’ve been building a house for 1.5 years now, and beyond ready to be in our home. In case you missed the latest house update, we have finished up the final touches and are finally ready to close. We also sold our first home (sweet ol’ Edna) last month, so it’s been an exciting and busy time. Now for the second phase of moving: finding furniture and making our new house a home!
