I owe you all a major update on my life as of late so here goes. First off, we had a couple of lovely Russian ladies staying with us last week (Andreas’ mom and aunt) who cleaned our house from top to bottom (including letting some of our furniture outside to “breathe”) and filled our [...]
Well, I’m back from vacation. Came back a day early to a hurricane and a nasty message scrawled across our garage. Fun. times.
