Things I will miss about Fayetteville
We closed the door on the house on Township Road for the last time on Tuesday. The junk removal people came around 11 and cleared out what was left in the house. After they pulled away we spent a couple of hours packing up the the truck. You might have seen our post on Instagram…

Time to get going… soon
Let’s get the big news out of the way first: the Fayetteville house is under contract. We close on February 3rd. Whew. Actually, there’s not much else to report. It’s winter here in Northwest Arkansas, and that means if the sun is shining it’s about 20 degrees. If it’s warmer – say, in the 50s…

We started this adventure not knowing what would really happen along the way. So in some ways, our next step shouldn’t be that big of a surprise. Well, maybe it is. Whatever. We decided to head to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to help out Michael’s parents. More details to come on that – or not, I would like to…
