Last Day! Last Day!

Since graduating from college over 4 years ago, Raf has been working for the same employer--a company I affectionately refer to as "The Devil". Don't get me wrong, it's a good company and has been great experience for him, but he's given them more hours in the last 4 years than most of us put in in 10, and I'm looking forward to having my partner home for dinner!

For some time now, we've also been wanting to buy a home and build a life in one community, rather than continuing to split commute 30 minutes in opposite directions. That dream will begin as our reality on Monday when Raf starts his new job, just a couple miles from my office. And then--let the House Hunt begin! WOO HOO!
