Hello! Just so everyone knows, Will, Chaela, and I are no longer in Memphis, TN... we are in Richmond, VA. Surprise!
We went Memphis like we'd planned, but after spending some time there, we didn't feel like it was the right place for us, though it is cool and has delicious BBQ. Throughout our week long stay, however, my friend Diane kept calling me and telling me she'd found this and this and this job opportunity in Virginia, where she lives. So after some thinking and praying, Will and I decided to pack up once again and head over to Richmond. Now we're here and it feels more like home than any other place has so far, which is awesome! We're looking forward to trying to settle here for a few years, at least until Will is done with school. It's great, because we're two hours or less from the following:
1. The Atlantic Ocean (which means THE BEACH!)
2. Good Skiing
3. Washington, D.C.
4. The D.C. Temple
5. Williamsburg, the oldest still inhabited town in the U.S. (less than an hour)
6. The Jamestown settlement
7. Several Civil War battlefields
We're also fairly close to Philadelphia, PA, which I would really like to see, a few good friends of mine, and my family! Yay!
So we're pretty excited about it and we'll keep you updated. I'm really hoping that this is the place. Ha ha.

how exciting! maybe you'll still be there when we move to the area in a few years... :-)
We hope so, too! I can't wait to hear what jobs you find, although we are sad that you aren't living here. It would have been fun. But now we know someone in a new place for us to come visit! Yay!
I am glad that you have found a place that feels like home...that's always a hard process! Let me know if and when you come back to Ohio and we will get together!
