Summer time can be busy for all of us in many different ways – vacations, some travel. Over the past month for us, we have had family visiting – and decided to move and signed the papers for a new lease in 2 days! We are still waiting on some paperwork but we have been moving a bit by bit to the new house as we wait for the electric to finally get turned on. Hopefully, that will happen this week and we can be in the new place. The views from our new home are simply stunning and there are some amazing areas to run as well. Photos of these incredible views will be coming when we are in!
