It’s been incredibly busy these days. I feel like I haven’t hardly had a moment to breathe!

Last weekend was nice – we were able to tackle several projects around the house. First,…

Ikea and more decorating

Well it’s been such a fun weekend with my parents! My mom came last Wednesday, and my dad drove up from Orlando on Thursday. They had commitments on Friday night and Sunday morning, but the rest of the time was spent with us! We had such a great time. My mom absolutely loved Jera, which thrilled me. We started letting Jera run around the house off the leash! It’s such a change for us, because now we are able to…
