Time to settle down?

Don’t get excited. I’m nowhere near done traveling. I love it.
But, Chris and I have found a house. Not to buy, just rent. And it fits all (most) of our wants.
It is by the water. Has a decent size backyard. Has 3 bedrooms. A good size kitchen. Meets our budget. And looks nice as [...]
