That's right...it's finally happened...the reason for my blogish absent...the reason for my excessively high stress levels...the reason for the huge smile on my face...
On September 8, we finally moved. We closed on our little "starter home" (at a humongous loss - that's the stress part) and moved into my grandfather's house in the neighborhood I grew up in (that's the big smile part.) There are a lot of details I'd like to forget about the arrangement, but the important part is that this was the right decision for my family. This is the place we will flourish and grow old in.
For someone who takes a ton of photos, I didn't take as many as you would think during this transition. Especially before and after photos, because words cannot describe the change and renovation this house has gone through since we've been here!
