Home Sweet Home

More than 6 months after we first laid eyes on it, we're finally settled into our new home! It's been a crazy summer but we made it and I even managed to take some pictures. Here's the outside, we are on the second floor, with the windows on the right and in front.

As the old Chinese saying goes: "Gold house, silver house, nothing beats our own dog house."

Walkability

How walkable is your neighborhood? If you go to walkscore.com you can find out! It uses google maps and gives your home a score based on how many things are within walking distance.

Where we live now is a 92 (out of 100), which means it's a Walker's Paradise. When we move (assuming we actually do) we'll be at 89, still not too shabby. Now I have numerical proof that we don't need a car and we're not the only ones that think so.

Sand Sculpture

This week's adventure was the sand castle competition and festival. Is that really sand? It is, but it's not from the beach here, it was trucked in from somewhere else. Like the beach really needs more sand?

Sneak Preview

Despite the cabinet mistake, the knob confusion, the faucet crisis, and many other set-backs, the condo renovations are coming along nicely, which means it's time for a little sneak preview!

Pre Heat Wave

	We took advantage of the perfect weather before the heat wave to go on a day trip. Can you tell where we went? Hint: The trip involved a cookie as big as my head!! And we found these weird branch boxes there.

Wedding Video

Today is our second wedding anniversary! In honor of the occasion, you can now watch our wedding video. Yes, two years after the big day I finally learned how to cut out the embarassing parts and slap some subtitles on it. Thanks a million to Sarah for teaching me how to do it all!!

It's about 14 minutes so you might want to set aside some time to watch it. If you have any questions about what's going on, feel free to post or email and I'll try to explain. If you can't watch it you might have to visit the actual blog page or install something - read Google Video's help or try me. And now, on with the show...

Cambridge River Festival

Like most would-be bloggers, I haven't actually been posting much lately but I'm hoping to start adding more. Here's what you've missed:
1. I graduated and got my Master's in Education.
2. I started my new job at WGBH in the kids' interactive (websites) department. So far so good, though it's not easy getting used to being in the same place for 8 hours every day. My new hobby is finding ways to decorate my "cube" to try and mask the sea of gray.
3. The renovations of our future condo are going well, we are keeping very busy picking out toilets, fixtures, paint colors, couches, etc. etc. etc.

In case you've forgotten what we look like, these are some reminder photos from the Cambridge River Festival. It seems like there's a festival every weekend, it's great. I even managed to get a picture of one of those tiny red bugs running across my book. It was tricky capturing those speedy little legs.
