The Big Move After what felt like a lifetime of planning, our family was finally making the big move from New York to Texas. The house we lived in was my childhood home and my husband and I shared it for fifteen years together. This was not going to be an easy task. Our first hurdle was preparing for this huge adventure.

She said it had been damaged, but was still intact. This was a good deal for…

Harris had to examine the objects inside the home to negate the incorrect perception and interpretation the whiteness of the house reveals.
