Our New Home

Hello to all our friends and family from our new home in West Knoxville! We've finally moved into a rental home and can at least get our things out of storage and delivered from Italy, Norfolk, and any other locations where they've in limbo waiting on us to get settled down. The house will be very comfortable and a great base for us to explore more of Knoxville and East Tennessee. I think we'll enjoy our new home and the Knoxville area in general. And since there's a swingset already in the backyard, Luke seems to like it pretty well, too. It will be a tough transition not having all his relatives so nearby as we did in Murphy, but a few hours drive to the grandparents in the car sure beats a trans-Atlantic flight any day! We've not given up on finding a home to buy, but we're taking our time to find the right place and area of Knoxville for us. Knoxville is a lot more spread out than either Ben or I imagined, so we have more areas to visit and hopefully more homes will come on the market in spring. We're settling in for now, though, and looking forward to getting into a regular family routine again. Come by for a visit if you're coming through East Tennessee!
