Moving Into My New Cottage In The Desert
Hi everyone! I have neglected to tell you about Moving Into My New “Cottage In The Desert” apartment. I have been documenting the process, and gradually sharing it on my Instagram account, but haven’t been sharing it here on my blog.
Maybe not the best picture quality, but you can see my excitement! Wow, I have so much more space! It felt like a mansion in comparison. *This has been updated 2025.
