Needless to say, even four and a half months in, the learning curve of this adventure is still very steep. I know that it has only been a week since I have written, and I wanted to capture these emotions and thoughts while they were fresh, before I forget to remember. I feel like I […]

It has been about two and a half weeks since we left Charleston and there is a lot to catch up on! I wasn’t really sure what to expect, having only been away from my family during the holidays one other time, and our extended family and friends definitely showed up for us by welcoming […]

It has been a busy and wonderful few weeks since I last wrote. I can’t believe that our time in Charleston is almost over as we get ready to leave for Florida on Saturday. It has been a fantastic month. I can’t say enough good things about Charleston. We have met so many warm and […]

It […]

Today there wasn’t rain in the forecast for the first time in a couple days. So, while Dave went and did his thing at his colocation spot, I went out of the city and explored. We weren’t able to see everything we wanted to see when we went to Montmorency Falls and Ile D’Orleans on […]
