I bought a house!
(well, it's a duplex because I'm house hacking) (it's in Knoxville)
This is a huge milestone for me. For most of my life I've actively avoided anything resembling a typical path (marriage, homeownership, etc.). But I'm excited and I want to celebrate and show it off and be merry!

If you want to give something
I literally don't need anything. But I really, really want an espresso machine and proper grinder.
Coffee is one of my greatest joys but the machines I wanted were always slightly (and not so slightly) out of reach.
So, I thought I'd do a group fund for folks who want to give monetarily and leave a space for love notes for people who want to do that! Both will bring me so much joy!
In this process, I have learned that it's incredibly hard to find a registry service that does groupfunding! And the few that do charge enormous fees. So I just made this website while the internet guy was here.
I feel blessed to know so many great people. I'm so excited to share all of this with you.

The grinder first, then whichever machine the pile reaches. Tap any of these for a picture and the why.

The other kind of gift. Nothing here is public, it goes straight to me.
