I felt like I was on system overload this past week. There are so, so, many flashy, shiny things in New Orleans, the party never seems to end. I truly enjoyed staying here albeit just a short stint. Such a colorful town inside and out, the people in their costumes sing, dance, and play the…
We Are Listed!
Today is the day! Our MLS listing went live this morning. January 20, 2020! Our for sale sign was personally delivered by our realtor last night. When he placed the realtor lock on the front door, it seemed like a bit of a dream, but this is really happening! We have officially completed step one…
Ringing In A New Year
This is the time of year when I start reflecting, sort of a year in review. 2019 marks year two, time lived ‘after’ the death of our son. I am healing, the bad days are becoming farther apart, and happier memories are beginning to creep into my thoughts more and more. ‘Finding Beauty Wherever I…
