Yesterday was one of the most exciting days of my adult life. It’s been almost 2 years in the making, and I’ll be honest, there were (many) times I thought it would never come. But we’re here, and it’s happening and OH MY GOD I’M SO EXCITED. “It” is the demolition of our house. You may remember that we bought a little …
