Rewind to the beginning of April.
Justin got the news at work that we would be transferred to South Charleston, West Virginia almost immediately. We had already started packing to move in somewhere else in Pittsburgh on May 1st. So we cancelled that and continued to pack up. We found a beautiful townhouse down south that had everything we wanted as well as a big pool for Harper and wooded trails for us. Someone higher up in the company gave us a timeline and we continued to plan.
After months of waiting when we got word that we actually wouldn't be going and the people who had arranged the move were no longer with the company. We also got some insider information that the branch we would move to wasn't one with had low numbers and high turn over. Now that we're only tied to a temporary lease, we have started our home search. By home I mean actual home! We're saying adios to renting and are excited to start the journey towards owning. More to come as we move forward with that :)

While we're excited to stay in Pittsburgh with friends and family, we constantly talk about how the mountains will someday be our forever home. With both of us working, Harper, starting up new business ventures (online based), and now house hunting we are constantly plugged in. By the end of summer I want to have 5 more full days spent outside. A lot of other bloggers have started doing social media free weekends as a way to turn off their phones & spend time with their family. We want to follow their lead and spend more time together, outside, offline. Including GPS. We have 1 trip to Big Bear WV planned in September with just the two of us. Otherwise, the rest of our excursions will be documented afterwards both on this blog and on instagram with #culottaventure. That is, if we can get where we're going with a regular old map...
Happy Monday, friends! :)
