During our last few months at the farm, we had the opportunity to purge our house of a myriad of things that we needed to get out of our lives. The things were sometimes things we'd bought but no longer had a need for in our new apartment, things we found while...

There is much that has been done around the new apartment lately...and when I think about it, it's hard to imagine that we've only been here a little over 2 weeks. It literally feels as if it's been several months; and with all the exploring we've done, we also feel...
