In our new home

This pic wasn't taken by us! It's fall and the date reads 2006, it was taken by the landlord, it looks exactly the same though, so I thought it would suffice!

It's a duplex (obviously) and we are on the left side of it. While it doesn't look like it from the front it is actually a pretty big home as a duplex, it goes a good distance out to the back and is situated on a hill, so it has two levels to it. It is perfect, a bigger single family home would have just meant more money for wasted space, which didn't make much sense with just the two of us.

We are about halfway settled, we had movers come with my stuff that was in a storage unit in Virgina. Some of my stuff had been in storage for the last three years, it was like Christmas when all the boxes came and I was able sort through everything! We also had movers come with some of Matt's stuff from California, his parents also had some things they were wanting to give us, so that was able to be moved with that shipment as well.

We are now waiting on everything from Germany, and that should arrive here at the end of the month. Which will be great, because our home is kind of humorous right now, we have a dining room table-but no chairs, we have a sitting room with end tables, sofa table, coffee table-but nothing to actually sit on, we are using my camping chairs downstairs in the family room, and I don't even want to talk about the office...our bedroom is set up though (as far as the big furniture pieces go). So that is nice.

We have had some beautiful days the last week, which has been much more reasonable than that crazy hot and humid weather we were greeted with! Matt's job is going well and he is enjoying it. I just recently turned in some resumes to a few positions opening up on post. Two openings are in fitness/recreation, and one is with youth services. Hopefully something comes up, otherwise I will just keep looking!
