Our First Two Weeks

Well needless to say, we've done a lot these last couple weeks!  The trip here was exhausting to say the least.  We're not in any hurry to do that again!  We spent our first three days house hunting.  We had already done a lot of searching and norrowing things down online so by Friday we felt pretty settled on which house we wanted.  We put in our offer Sunday just before Jason started his first day of work.

We are nervous for the inspection this Thursday since it's an old house (about 100 years old!).  Most of it has been updated though.  It's cute and definetly move in ready, although we'll do a lot of work making it our own, which we are very excited about.

Here is where we are living now, a very nice apartment complex that Jason's company is paying for as our temporary housing :)
Here is the house we are looking to buy:

Jason loves his job so far, and we are both very glad about that!

The boys have asjusted very well and I've made a nice schedule for us.  I am trying to finish up my last session (Rachel's wedding) and then I'll be business free for ahile.  It's been nice not having sessions all the time.  I have actually been able to keep the house clean and spend lots of time playing with the boys. 

So far we really like New York.  It's been perfect weather and the people are very nice and friendly.  We aren't looking forward to having to make friends though, lol. 

And that's about it!
