In September 08,Bill and I moved back to Tn. and were very glad to see NC in our rear view mirror. The following weeks were spent unpacking and settling into our apartment. My parents arrived for a visit and summer turned into a spectacular fall.
Married life was turning out to be better then our relationship was before.At this time we were getting used to a downsized life in a apartment and just learning to live more simply.It was an adjustment that took quite a bit of squirming to get used...
