Our New Home!!!

Great news, after an extremely intensive 2 week search, we have finally found a place to call "home." Between the two of us, we have toured at least 30 different apartments and we are really happy with the one we chose. It is a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with hardwood floors in the living room and lots of closets. It is in a great place--kind of a mix between Virginia Highlands and Little Five Points for those Atlanta folks. There is a market there every Wednesday and plenty of restaurants and shops to occupy my time. Even better is that there is a tram stop 1/2 a block away that takes Kyle directly to his work, in only about 20 minutes! We are signing the lease on Tuesday and will get the keys on Wednesday, Dec. 1. On Monday we are going to find out where our belongings actually are--we are thinking either in Antwerp or Brussels. But once we track them down, we will schedule the move and hopefully be in by next week!

I can't tell you what a relief it is for me to know we finally have a place. I never knew how much having a place to call my own meant to me, until I didn't have one. I am excited to finally have a place to get to know and explore and not to just feel like my efforts are in vain---that I will really be able to use this information now.

Well, since we have two bedrooms and two bathrooms, everyone is strongly encouraged to come for a visit!
