Our New (Elderly) Roommates

Hello Everyone!

We hope you enjoyed your Sunday!

Today was not your typical relaxing Sunday for the two of us.

Tyler and I decided that we were going to move in with his grandparents to help care for them. Both Nana and Bepe are 88 years old. We can learn so much from them; they have lived through war times,  lived in three different states, raised three children and now have 6 grandchildren.

They are two very impressive people! Bepe just got out of the hospital and has a hard time getting around lately. Nana gets confused often and they both just need some extra help so they can stay in their own home and keep their independence!

So we are moving in. We turned their basement into an apartment and have been working on it all day! We started by going through all their stuff that has been stored away down there. At the end of the day I can say I’ve learned a lot about these two. We found pictures of them throughout their lives; as well as, their parents and their grandparents! It was quite the eye opening experience to see how much time has changed!

After that we cleaned out some of the furniture that they had put down there and finally we dusted, vacuumed, and cleaned everything to start with a fresh slate! We organized and started planning out what will go where!

I must say it was a very productive Sunday, we will keep you updated on the move!

Xoxo
Michelle and Tyler
