My grandmother (Nana) passed away in October of 2008 and her 1,380 sq ft house was inherited by my dad and uncle. Since they weren’t ready to sell it and we were looking for the opportunity to move back home, it was decided we could move in. Joshua and I officially moved in at the end of May 2009, and it took us roughly four months to get everything re-painted and up-to-date. We lived there until September 2012 once we bought our own home.
During my dad’s summer break (he’s a teacher) he decided to make our current home his summer project and tackle anything that needed to be done on it. We’ve gotten a few things taken care of around the house such as a new water heater, new air vents in the master bedroom and dining room,… Read more »

What can you do? I’ve learned to just go with it, reminding myself it’s almost over. Meanwhile, I got… Read more »
Saturday I did a wide variety of shopping. I went to the mall to use the pile of birthday coupons from various retailers that I acquired this month, and I went grocery shopping in which I bought a case of canning jars in addition to actual groceries.

Somewhere in between my crazy school and work schedule, I managed to find time to do something around the house other than clean it. This quarter I’m taking a couple classes that have required me to print a variety of materials such as CDs, folders, and business cards, which has caused quite the build-up of… Read more »
