After just over two months of house-less-ness, we are in a home. We rotated between staying with my parents and David’s parents with a brief stopover with my college roommate’s family. We are overwhelmed at the generosity of our hosts. We are a big, noisy, messy bunch, and no one kicked us out. We observed […]
