New year, new house! We bought a house! If you’ve been following these monthly posts this year, you know we moved to the Charleston area last spring and have been looking for the right house to buy. We are so excited to share that we found it, we moved in, and we love it. We are so looking forward to all the memories and adventures to come in these walls.
