Finally here!

We've made it to North Carolina!!! After a 3 and a half day drive in a Penske with a trailer, closings on 2 houses (barely, I'll spare you the details, phew!), unpacked (almost - thanks to Colin and Mary), an ear infection for Anna, and now we finally have internet, TV, and phones! We're back in civilization, just feeling a little transplanted. I have SO much to blog about, so it's a little daunting to even log on, but I thought I'd just say that we're here and then try to go back and blog about the exciting events from May '08 and on. It's starting to feel a little like home, but still very weird. We love our neighborhood and have the friendliest neighbors in the world I think.



Anna is really missing both of her grandma's so she wanted to show them a few of her favorite things about our new house:

She LOVES the swingset! She would stay in that swing all day if I let her. And she lets out the cutest, heartiest giggle when she's swinging. It's definitely my favorite sound in the world.


Before we moved, I bought Anna a baby stroller to give her when we arrived to our new house. She loves changing her baby's diaper, putting her on the stroller, and then putting on the baby's "hat" (which is really a towel), then she just pushes the stroller from room to room and keeps saying "babee" "babee". If only she liked being IN the stroller this much, I could actually go for a walk!


So, that's going to do it for today. I know there's much more to say, but I can't do it all right now, so it will come in a little at a time.

It'll feel like home in no time. You guys are going to love it and pretty soon you're going to be sad to leave it. We wish we could come see you. We've been discussing how we could make it happen and it's not looking too promising. Good luck with starting residency.

Can't wait to hear more about your new local and all the fun adventures you're having. Missed you at the reunion, it was just like high school. Get some pics of the house and your hood on the blog before long! Miss you!

Welcome to East Coast living! We're glad you're out in our neck of the woods (sort of - wish we were closer... maybe I can do a visitorship at Wake Forest's law school).
