Posted by Lovelyn | March 30, 2008 .

On Friday we found out that we had to move out of the place we where staying, got an expensive parking ticket and found out that most places won’t allow us to rent from them because we have no UK records. Isn’t that swell.

The Leader of the Pack

Posted by Lovelyn | March 3, 2008 .

Moving requires many things. Among those things are organizational skills, good judgment, brawn, and boxes. All but one of these things are abundant in our household. Since it’s common knowledge that I’m overflowing with organizational skills and good judgement, and my husband is stronger than he looks, you’ve probably guessed that we are in need [...]
