We have been in our rental home for a little over a week and it's amazing what has gotten done in such as short amount of time. The road trip went well. K loved the car rides, rest stops, and adapted quickly to the routine. We found several pet friendly hotel chains that made it…
Moving . . . into another Transition
It is now fall, a season of changing leaves and big changes for the Greenes. Ready to hear why my blog has been stalled: we are moving! L and I have been living on the East Coast for almost four years. We started this blogging adventure soon after moving to stay in touch with friends…
I’m Back
I'm back after my two month long hiatus from writing. It has been a very busy past two months trying to take on projects around the house, fighting car problems (yes still), adjusting to a still new job, among other things. So here is an update: Moving: We moved into our new home moving…

As we started reacquainting…
