We’re Under Contract For a House!!!

TorrieUpdated on September 10, 2020September 10, 2020

TorrieUpdated on December 15, 2020June 29, 2020

TorrieUpdated on November 16, 2017June 23, 2017

    Well, it’s almost here—The Big Move is TOMORROW. Kind of crazy. Although I’m no stranger to moving (I’ve moved over 15 times since graduating high school), this move feels more momentous.
