And even though we’re experiencing somewhat of a unique situation here, it’s still stressful. Here’s how things are going, Read More

I was gonna write something about the current state of things today. I drafted and deleted, drafted and deleted. But I don’t really don’t know what to say at this point.

Week 1 has been all about getting our new place set up. We only had our temporary apartment for four nights so we’ve been busting our butts getting the new place livable. Shout out to Diver’s Paradise Apartments for being so accommodating! You were a godsend the first few days! I highly recommend staying, Read More
