So I’m minding my own business, head down, doing my work. Okay, head never down because who knows when my boss will rear his head and make a scene by screaming across the hall to me at the top of his lungs.

My hubs and I bought a townhome in Jacksonville last year. Yay for us, right!? Well, let me back up. We put the downpayment on our “forever home” in August of 2014.

It really was…at least for me. I was living on my own, single mom (2 young children), working 2-3 jobs at a time, trying to make all my ends meet.
