And we're off!

Well, it's official!
In August we will be moving to Oxford, MS where Nathan will be enrolling in the PhD program in Music Education at Ole Miss (University of Mississippi).

We are sad to be leaving so many wonderful people, stressed about packing and moving, and excited to be beginning this new adventure.

We went this week to visit the area, make a few job contacts and secure a place to live:

The house is in a nice neighborhood, has trees galore in the back, and one of my favorite features is that the windows are low enough for H to walk up to and look right out!



While there, H had his first grilled cheese, and loved it! Oxford is a very historic town. Just about every building on campus, and many buildings in the town have a historic marker in front. One thing I am excited about in town is that the bookstore in the square has story time twice a week!


The worst thing about Oxford: no Hobby Lobby, no Hancock's Fabrics, no Joann's Fabrics. Where will I get my supplies???

(a little upside-down reading on the way home)

While heading back to Monroe, H kept signing 'home.' He was ready to be home! I am sure that it won't be too long before our home in Oxford feels like 'home!'


Oxford, here we come!
