Our first stop was… Continue reading We Found a House!

Joe and I had a great time in the States for 16 days. Visiting with our families is always nice, especially after not seeing them for a year. We knew our trip home was going to be crazy but we had no idea just how crazy. It started off with a big surprise our first… Continue reading 16 Days
