Our New Home

First of all, I'm sorry it's taken me a week to blog for the first time in Virginia. I FINALLY got my computer hooked up with an internet connection. It was a little more difficult than expected...but we are here in the blogosphere now. Anyway, we are obviously still getting settled in our new home. But here are some pictures of our cute not-so-little place.

Our street:

And our cute little Narnia lamp post. How appropriate!

So, here is an update on all things since we left California. It's definitely been humid...which is an adjustment. In fact this past week has been a heat wave apparently...and our air conditioning wasn't working. So we decided to believe that it could only improve from there. And it has...the AC is working now and our house is a cool 75 degrees!
All of our stuff finally arrived on Friday. For the first few days all we had were the clothes we packed in suitcases, our SWEET new TV (which by the way has been monopolized by the World Cup thus far), and a borrowed air mattress. So basically our time has been spent unpacking, taking trips to Target (which is SUPER here...literally), and Ikea, and watching soccer.
So, our adventure has begun...and we definitely have had some adventures already. So check back soon to read about some of the following topics:

Jared and Alanna Witnessing History
Humidity
Getting Lost
Summer Camp
House Decorating Progress
Civil War Reenactments
The World Cup
DC Exploration
Meeting the Obamas
Generally Awesome Things
