Kiwi-corns

We've always lived pretty compact lives, or at least we like to think we do.  9 moves will do that to you.  Almost every. single. year you get to go through all of your items and Marie Kondo yourself and ask if it gives you extreme joy to move it to yet another location.  We thought we were doing well until we had to do a very close examination of the items we were conveniently tucking into the nooks and crannies of boxes- knickknack contraband to forget about till next time.  It's interesting to see how much sentimentality plays into it. We could give two flying farts about our Ikea furniture, but yes please, let's keep all the journals from my early 20s. Let's keep the Christmas T-Rex but not our sheets. Some things you're just excited to start over with. My friend Kelsey will report how terrible I am at keeping my art brushes in good shape so it's probably best to do that all over.  Once we found it we might actually have room we included the pots the Bed Bat...

This one was May 27, 2022 ( I looked it up) because it started the ball rolling on a casual look at LinkedIn and what was going on in Queenstown,  a casual email to WSP, a video call + like two more, an eventual trip to the country itself, an email of interest and then a super serious job offer.  Why would I say no? The usual: family, friends, life But what would I be missing out on? I think this would probably haunt me into perpetuity if I didn't say yes.  Our Boulder stats are really alarming.  Sean and I have been together since 2012 Townhome-Apartment- Apartmen...
