Greetings from our new house in Modesto! No, we haven’t actually bought a house yet, but Brian and I were fortunate to find wonderful landlords in our hometown of Modesto. Beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with space to spare. Roses, a three car garage, and two linen closets. We have been space deprived for…

For a quick update, Lauren has been working at Raley’s and subbing since September, and Brian is still working hard at Adtech.
