Welcome Home...

I will be the first to admit...I have seriously been out of the loop. With the ending of the summer school session coupled with the enormous task of moving, my online presence has definitely diminished. However, that lull is over for the moment as all of our belongings are in place at the new Eagle Rock pad. While I have posted some pics in an earlier post, I wrote very little about the house. Prior to my friend Nicki moving to the neighborhood, I never knew such a gem of a community existed. While from Eagle Rock Blvd, the hood looks pretty normal, once you head up the hill, the scenery changes dramatically. Lush landscaping and giant trees occupy each turn. Our house is on the side of a hill which means while you drive up to the house, you have to walk down a cobblestone staircase to get to the front door. The house works with the hill having the upstairs level with the front door and the downstairs is built into the hill.

Moving has sucked it out of us. In all senses of the word. It has been a delight to hang on the porch and just re-coup. Seeing as how we are currently without a dining table, we have been more than happy to dine on the patio.

As you can see, aside from the patio, things are definitely a work in progress. We are waiting for some key pieces of furniture and because of that, hanging our larger artwork is on hiatus. However, I think the slower pace has been the theme of this entire move. From securing the place to moving in to unpacking, the tempo has been low-key. For us, not rushing has been key to getting some pretty cool things....lease to the house included.
