Being that this will be the last "settling in" post I do, I figured it was time to share some of my thoughts about the house and the area.
I'm loving the inside of the house. I love the layout, the furniture, and mostly I love that I have a dishwasher and a washer and dryer that I don't have to use quarters to use. I've also been able to bake using full size pans. Yippy! My only complaint about the house is the landscaping. There is actually too much of it. The area I was hoping to plant a garden is covered by a trellis with flowering plants on it (and lots of bees), so now I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to have a garden.

And the view from the back of the house is almost as good as you can get (better would be directly over a beach rather than across a canal at the back of other houses). Here is a picture of a sunset I saw the other night.
We've also done some exploring around the area. We've found that just about every store and restaurant I could possibly want are within a 10 minute drive. There are a few exceptions, but I'm pretty sure I will be able to survive. Now all I need is a babysitter, so we can go out to dinner and a movie (did I mention there is a movie theater in town as well?)
Why exactly did we wait so long to move South?
I am so glad you are settling in and love it. It sounds like your day was very productive but busy. Glad you got all the paperwork done. Now for the library. I know that is important for you and the kids. They go through books like Paula Dean goes through butter.
