The new digs

Our trip to NC was a success. We found a rental home in a nice neighborhood. One of my favorite things about this house is that one of the school bus stops is right across the street. This will be nice, especially since school starts at 7:26 am and I hate dragging the girls out that early. The neighborhood also has two parks, one with a play structure and the other with a dock, picnic area and fire pits. Both parks are well within walking distance.
Hannah and Jake are excited to live in a real neighborhood with lots of kids. John and I are looking forward to a nice long break from constant home improvement projects. We are also very excited to be living so close to the beach and plan on making "beach bums" out of ourselves.

For those nosey readers of mine :)

The house. It is lacking some curb appeal but it was $300 cheaper than the other house we were looking at:


The neighborhood dock/park. We've been told the area off the dock is great for claming :


On the bridge going to the island (look at all that traffic!):


The beach at dusk:


The best store ever. Yes, it's a drive thru convenience store, pure genius.
