Well, we did it! We officially, and FINALLY moved into our new home. and I love it. We had only seen it once before the official move in date, and during that time the whole place was being renovated and looked like a total wreck. We kinda took a leap of faith and trusted that they would do a good job, and they did! Over the past two days we’ve been buying sheets, towels,...
