One of the big projects that have been going on with Chris and I over the past few months have been some significant updates to our house. There are some that say that if you want to test a relationship, then build a house or do renovations. Thankfully, we have done the former twice before,… Continue reading
As many would know, Chris and I have spent the last few months planning and overseeing the construction of the large body of water in our back yard in the form of a pool. For the sake of others who may be considering going through this process, and as a reminder should we ever to… Continue reading
