We found a house!

Our favorite room with a view of the Lafayette River:

The backyard which beckons for a hammock & a fishing pole:



We just returned from a tiring but successful journey to Norfolk, VA. We were on a search for a house for John's 1 year fellowship position. Looking at rental property in general was a bit discouraging in the beginning because the properties just aren't kept up as well. BUT, then we found this awesome house on the water that was a perfect match for us! There is water EVERYWHERE in this city, and it's not hard to be far from it. We hoped to be near it, but never dreamed we'd have it in our backyard! We feel blessed. I think John is already bidding on canoes and kayaks on ebay! We hope many of you will come visit us soon!

Hey, it's your neighbor with the annoying magnolia tree. It looks like you guys found a great place, we are sure going to miss you guys. I wish we had moved in 5 years ago.
