A Young Couple Starting Out

Typically when a couple is first married, they don't have a lot to start out with. Chip and Joanna were no different. Chip had begun to take an interest in purchasing and updating homes and apartment buildings around the local college, and his newlywed wife was fully supportive.

However, this meant that they often lived in homes that needed a lot of work (nine of them!). And once they were updated, the couple would move out, sell the house, and start over. Things changed when Joanna became pregnant with their first child, and the couple agreed that they needed to find a home to settle into to raise their family.
