August was…something, all right. I knew we’d have some big things happening, like our kids starting school (including our second oldest starting kindergarten at “the big school”) and the usual flower farming craziness since August and September are peak season, but we sure hadn’t anticipated that there would be a super unexpected job loss thrown …
Yikes, I’m getting this out super late. Between Matt unexpectedly losing his job and school starting up again and us being in the peak of flower farming season, things have been crazy over here. I’m not even going to try and make this as detailed as I normally do, simply because I just need to …
