We want to build the same kind of life, and we can do that better together.
Are you ready for moving in together?
In this episode we talk about the big decision of moving in together and what it’s like living with your significant other. We go over how the idea came to be, all the benefits and pitfalls, how we flip flopped on the idea, and what happened after the decision was finally made. Enjoy!
Don’t stress about the small stuff, deal with it when it comes up.

You have to ask yourself: Is that a real fear? Do you have reason to fear that?
As promised, here is the recipe for “chicken sauce:”
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
(We also add more Worcestershire to taste. It seems to be the secret ingredient to the whole thing.)
There is a future for you even if major life decisions fall through.
