It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks for this football family. Quite like my last post, we’ve had many a plan get “boogered up”, only to find it to be a blessing in disguise. Coordinating a move is a stressful chore for anyone — and especially when you’re contracting with the taping of every box. [...]
