When we were struggling with our debt and going from pay check to pay check we decided we needed a change.
The question is: Are We THAT crazy?!? And the answer is yes! About 4 years ago Ben and I started the pursuit to find our dream home. And in that four years we have looked at countless of homes with 3 different realtors with no success. Fast forward to this week, we spent the last [...]
This post is filled with Gods miracles. I know it’s long BUT please stick with it. As this pandemic is lingering on, I’m finding it harder not to cry in the super market, or from hearing stories of loved ones suffering or passing. It’s sad to see so many people hurt and affected by this. [...]
