“When it rains, it pours” Well, duh. Living in Western Oregon has some distinct advantages. 5. We bought at a good time. In fact, we signed our paperwork on the 29th of December and started moving in on the 30th. We could not get out of our apartment fast enough! We lived in an apartment

Ah, the holiday season. When parents everywhere, especially moms, find panic and expectation wherever they look.

Well, not actually a return to me- us. He was required to live in the county he was convicted in. Not the county he had been incarcerated in, which I thought was kind of weird, but then again he had spent years in three different prisons in the state. Either way, he was 300 miles
