Changing and Growing {Word of the Year Update}
As much as I hate to acknowledge it, sometimes change is necessary for growth.

Earlier this summer we discovered some water damage in our bathrooms and had to tear out all the flooring.

What I Learned From Our First Major Home Repair
We spent the past three weeks with both of our bathrooms in almost complete disrepair. It made for some creative problem solving (and a few late-night shower runs to my inlaws).
