Well, everyone, here is the front door to our new home. The sharp-looking dude to the left is Zack's brother, Travis. These pics were taken by Zack's mom, Patty, when she and Travis visited a little over a week ago. So this should give everyone an idea of what we see every day.

Ok, so this is the view from the parking lot of Lowe's. Patty and Travis wanted to see a good view of the mountains, so we took them here. Staunton is located in the Shenandoah Valley, which is between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains of the Appalachian Mountains. In the middle is a brick building that is very typical of Staunton's architecture. Brick colonial is very popular and most of the buildings are repurposed instead of torn down around here. Love that.

This is a view from just up the street (about two houses). We live at the top of the second-highest hill in town, so we can see the mountains when we go for a walk. We can see even more of them now that the leaves are gone, but it's not nearly as pretty as when everything is alive.

At right is a view of the back of the house. It's got a single-stall attached garage. There's also a walkout basement with a slider, but the U-Haul truck (the second that we needed to truck down all of Sarah's crap) is blocking the view of the door. You can also see our little deck, which is off of the dining room. The window at the far right is the spare bedroom. At far left is the den, or fireplace room, which is Zack's lair.

This is the view from the vet's office, which is a couple of miles out of town. Patty and I went there to take Mo for her umpteenth doctor's visit, and yes, she's still alive. We call her the bionic kitty.

Well, that's it for now. We're still unpacking boxes and stuff, but we'll have pics of the inside of the house very soon!

Love you guys!
