Update for everyone
We have a home. Pictures to follow soon. I will be spending my days off next week hanging window treatments and moving stuff that's packed into luggage and starting to decorate. We had a grand New Year celebration, lots of apples and honey.

Things are coming together and we are settling into life. Fall is falling and I LOVE the weather.
