PA or DE?

Jet-lagged. And homeless in January when we get to Newark. Can't say our trip last week was super successful.

But it was because:
  1. We decided we want to live in Pennsylvania or Hockessin area
  2. We got to hang out with Bill/AK and realized they are only 1.5 hours away. Awesome to be so close to family.
  3. We had an amazing time with our friends who are already there and met some new ones too. What a relief to have such an awesome support network already there!
  4. Have some rental options in case we can't find a home by the end of the month we have in corporate housing.
  5. Got Thanksgiving paper goods at Target and got to go to Target. SWEET.

So...while it wasn't super successful in that we didn't find a great home we BOTH liked...

We still had fun. And we have some silly pictures to boot. And we got to see Pennsylvania in the fall, which was - GORGEOUS. The leaves were all orange/yellow/bright...SO beautiful. I can't wait for next year's photoshoots in farms with pumpkins and large farm fields with fall leaves in the back.

It's going to be great. At least I tell myself. And then I realize there's only 1 Target that serves Newark/Wilmington/Southern Chester County, PA. And it's 30 minutes away from anywhere we'd live. EEK. :)

And the nearest good mall is 45 minutes away. Well, we won't have any money anyways so it's best that those things are SO FAR AWAY.

We had a great time visiting you guys! Sorry that the house hunt didn't go exactly as planned, but at least you realize the area that you'd like to be in, which is a big step.

Have fun in Paris!

Whoah! Didn't realize you were in the States last week. Sorry to hear you didn't find the perfect house, but it's out there!
