If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade
An only slightly lesser known saying is ” If life gives you lemons, make lemonade; and then if at the last minute you realize that you really want Pepsi, call the lemon seller back real fast and talk your way out of the lease and put down a deposit on that Pepsi before anyone else [...]

Hey! We can change our minds if we want!
So, we’re probably going to sign a lease tomorrow with The Prairies at Wright Field. Yes, that’s the privatized base housing. I know, I know, we said we weren’t going to live in those. In fact, if you have talked to us any time in the past six months you’ll know the only thing we’ve [...]

Touchdown!

Seven hours on the road and still in Texas
So it is 9pm after a long first day driving, Chris is out picking up some Applebees for us and Jonah is asleep. We have a two room suite at La Quinta so Jonah can sleep in another room and we can hang out a little before going to bed. Jonah didn’t really sleep in [...]

One more for the road.
It is 8:00 pm on the night before the movers are due to pack our belongings away and I almost feel ready for them. We are currently working on packing up the car to drop all of our road trip necessities off at Maria’s house (including the dogs) and we will be spending one last [...]
