Did you know that people on average move about 12 times in their lifetime? This seems like a lot but it does count times like the college years and during those years there can be a lot of shuffling around. I personally have moved 8 times already. I’m well on my way to meeting the statistical average here. Continue reading
Well we did it. My wife and I drove slightly over 1,500 miles with a 3 year old to visit our good friends in Southwest Montana. I was admittedly nervous as this was by far the biggest tip for our son. Continue reading
