This time last year, I would have never believed that I could've written this much, let alone stuck with one story for so long. And now, having finally finished, I can truthfully say I've written a book! So yay! 😊 #GoalsMet #OnToTheNextChallenge #BringIt2017

The second bedroom is officially uncarpeted! Whew. I have wanted to get the last of the carpeting up for years. So that's pretty much the last of the big projects. Can I go back to work now? . . . . . #hardwoodfloors #maybeoak #nomorecarpet #arearugs #ontothenextchallenge (at North Bethesda, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-vtVYpDlyI/?igshid=1rxpf3aeylcm9

When you relocate to Nashville again 10 years after the first time you did, and are told "here you go Val, you share a bathroom with the guy upstairs... also it hasn't been cleaned in years". I don't care what I have to do this time... NOTHING is going to get in my way this time around.... #ontothenextchallenge #cantstopwontstop #cantstopmenow #nashvillehomes #bathroommiracle #elbowgrease #lifeofamusician #chasingthedream #getoutofmyway #musicianlife #nashvillelife (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqc-ljjA1ly/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=413tjvpifxzy
