New Beginnings - New State, New House, New Life

I have sort of missed HCW the last few years. Even though I have popped my head in once or twice to read a thread or use the database. It is not the same as visiting every day, trading and contributing to the forums. I am so glad to be back.
So many things have changed in my life the last few years, but I know everything happens for a reason, and in the end it has only made me stronger and a better person.
My husband, Aaron and I now live in Michigan. (previously it had been PA) We both have new jobs, him as a service manager at a car dealership, and I am now in direct sales, selling for a company called Thirty-One Gifts.
We purchased our first home together, rather then renting. We were so happy to find a 100yr old home in a small rural community away from the city, an the commute is manageable too.
The biggest change is my coupon usage and stockpile has diminished to almost nothing. :(
Sadly our new house is lacking storage of any kind. I suppose families 100yrs ago did not have stockpiles large enough to sustain their families for years. lol
I have decided I need to get my life and house on a route and more organized. Which also includes getting my coupon binders cleaned out, revamped, organized and build my stock pile up again. As it felt great being able to go into our small stockpile a few weeks ago and donate 2 bags worth of items to our local library that they were in need of. (baby wipes, cleaning supplies, office supplies, etc.)
So here is to a fresh start!
