🏠 Bob & Anita's Relocation Planner

Welcome to our shared family planning space for organizing the transition and move from Milton, WI (965 Rainbow Drive) to the new apartment at Cedar Crest in Janesville, WI (Directions between them).

This planner is a collaborative notebook for Christian, Amy, Mom, and Dad to keep us aligned and organized.

NOTE

Mom & Dad (Bob & Anita): This is a shared space for all of us! We want this transition to be as smooth, independent, and comfortable as possible. Please read through these files, tell us what you think, and let us know where we need to adjust the plans. Your ideas and comfort are our top priorities!
