Well, I’ve been waiting to order a new journal to write in, but I just never seem to get around to it, and my life is passing me by without my keeping a record of it.  I thought I’d better do a catch up before I forget too much.  I can’t actually remember what I’ve [...]

Well we made it to the bay area and we found a house and we’ve been here for two weeks (in the house).  It’s been a crazy three weeks. 

This post is such old news, but it’s still funny to see the before and after
