We're online!

Well here we are, our own little piece of cyber space. Many of you naysayers said we'd never make it here (kelly b :)) , but we did and are ready to post! Living so far away makes us really miss all our friends and family and we hope this blog makes us feel a little closer (or at least that you feel a little more updated on our life). No promises as to how often we'll post but we'll give it the old college try.

For starters- here are a few shots of where we live.

We live in these really tall apartments known affectionately as "The Green Home". This is the view from our balcony.
This is our living room- if you look closely at the wall behind the couch you call see one of two ionic columns that stand in our living room. If you can't see it that well- that's great- we've worked hard to de-emphasize their presence. Our landlord has some very interesting decorating taste- we wish we could capture for you the blue backlights and the green recessed lighting that can be turned on at nighttime in this room, but you'll just have to come visit and see for yourself. :) One unique thing about apartment shopping here in our city is that most apartments come mostly furnished. So, you often end up with an apartment with some very interesting pieces and features (hence the columns). For example, the blue pleather couches you see (not our choice either) that have a board about 2 inches below the cushion, not the most comfortable seat but at least they're tarheel blue!
