And now…we begin!!!
So, it's been a long time since my last post! It seems like not much has happened (and in some ways that's true) but it also seems like there have been tons of changes and decisions going on in the background.

120 months and some good news!
So, as of the last few hours, Steve and I have been "officially" together for 10 years!

A housing history…
Steve and I have had quite an interesting few years of housing situations. Since we are just MONTHS away from owning our very first home I thought I'd give a brief rundown of our previous living arrangements! Of course, when we met, we were still both living on campus at college. (Yes, I do have ... View Post
