New Name...New Era...
Hello All! First, I apologize for leaving you all. We successfully moved to the country house. Then, everything changed. (I was tempted to write "fell apart", but I'll let you decide.)
In May of 2012, D moved back to the city. In 2013, little man and I sold the big house and bought an ADORABLE little place on a third of an acre. We now live in a town with a massive population of 250ish. The house has needed and still needs some work. I have been very much enjoying that process and I'll be sharing some of those stories on here.
I am currently working 2 part time jobs. I teach police classes and do some grant writing. Times are thin, but we are getting by. I'm sure I'll be sharing those stories too.
God bless...I'm glad to be back.
Taking life back to the basics.
Hello All!
