thought he was kidding at first. But no, he was meeting with the police officer right then. You’ve probably noticed I haven’t been posting as much the past couple of days. Normally I don’t share much about our lives but I thought I’d give you a glimpse into our rough week – not as a “poor me” but hopefully to inspire those of you who aren’t already saving to begin working
