    Oh, hey. Is the weekend really already over? How was yours? We put together IKEA furniture (yup, still buying it) and hung stuff on the walls and tried to play catch up. Johnny and I have been pretty sucky at this whole blogging thing lately. But lest you think we’re…

    Moving is stressful. If you’ve moved recently, you know what I’m talking about. The Will we ever be done?? feeling as you skillfully tape down the millionth box with the tape gun that’s now just an extension of your arm.

    Well, tomorrow’s the big day. The moving truck arrives. We say goodbye to all of our wordly possessions, and we’re off. Johnny’s driving our car across the country. And I’m getting on a plane with our baby girl and our cat. I’m insane. But it’s the only way. And if…

    When we made our plans to take a trip to Utah, it was all done in the name of having a vacation. But as the trip approached, our reasons for being out there changed a bit. Obligations arose. And as that happened, the vacation-y aspect started going downhill fast. In…

    Whew! Somehow we made it back in one piece. We are home. Finally! It was a great trip, and we can’t wait to share some of our adventures. But for now, we’ll be unpacking, restocking our empty cabinets, and trying to help Baby Girl relearn how to sleep on ET.…

    Happy Fourth, ya’ll! We’re celebrating with family in Utah! Grandma got Baby Girl a special red, white, and blue ensemble, which she is wearing with pride today. There’s nothing better than a summer night of grilling out and fireworks. We love some good ol’ American patriotism up in here. Have…

    Summer is in full swing, and we couldn’t be happier about that fact. We’re kicking off July with a two-week trip to see family and attend some business meetings, which means we’ll be MIA for the next two weeks. We’ll be sticking to our tried and true budget-savvy travel tips…

    Enough about us. Time to hear from you. So let’s pretend we’re sitting in a circle doing awkward introductions with the following questions: What/when was your last purchase? What websites do you visit every morning? Other than retirement and/or debt, what are you saving for? Choose one: Screech or Urkel?…

    Here’s to you, Long Weekend. With your impending arrival, Johnny and I discussed and rediscussed the possibilities. A weekend filled with sand and sun? A history-packed weekend in Charleston? We weighed the costs (literally and figuratively) of taking a road trip. How much were we willing to spend? Would there…
