This month has been a doozy for me. I’ve been tackling a bunch of home improvement projects and feeling pretty wiped out from all the hard work. But you know what? It’s a good kind of tired, and it’s nice to see the fruits of my labor.

Currently, I am working on the floors. What do you think about the color? 😊

Anyway, I’ve got some exciting news to share – I might be packing up and heading to the east coast soon! Originally, I was planning on sticking around here for a few years, but now I’m thinking why not switch things up and experience life on the other side of the country?

As someone who’s retired early (FIRE, baby!), I’m all about letting life take me where it wants. I’ve moved around quite a  few times around Southern California, but I’ve never ventured out of state. So, I’m thinking about taking a road trip to the east coast and hitting up all the cool spots on the way to our destination. It’s been on my bucket list forever, so why not go for it?

Now, I haven’t decided yet whether to document the trip on my blog or not, but I promise to keep you in the loop about my plans. As of now, nothing is 100%!

Anyhow, lets get this update on the books!
