First days in our new house

Well, it has been a little while again! In that time, the following things have happened: 1) We moved into our new home on the 21st 2) We found a car! Right after we gave up on just about all of our parameters (detailed

On the day before we leave

Well, I certainly didn't imagine I'd go this long without blogging but ... things have been insane. And now we leave tomorrow. And tomorrow starts in an hour and a half at the time of me writing this. We're at Grandma's, and I'm finally feeling like everything that I can get done before tomorrow has been done. Our [...]

Why we are (probably) moving 3-4 weeks later than expected

The short answer why our move will probably be pushed back more than three weeks is this: It is literally easier to just accept a mistake than to fix it. Yeah. So, the more complicated answer is probably not all that interesting to most people. And to be honest, I'm not entirely sure I fully understand it m [...]
