Our First Place!

Hello all,

I wanted to take a moment and let everyone know that Dom and I are safe and happy in Port-au-Prince. The first few weeks have been a whirl wind, and I often think that I need to stop time and hold on the these first few moments of marriage. This is easier said then done when you plan a wedding long distance, get married, and move to a foreign country!

We are moved into our new place, and we love it! The house itself is new construction and gorgeous. It is in a compound which is less than three minutes from the Embassy which means I get to see Dom for lunch, and he is right next door. You better believe that he doesn't miss the morning commute.

I have been keeping myself busy, by making the house into a home. And two weeks later all the boxes are unpacked. I only need to hang the artwork and all will be complete! I am not too antsy (yet) about starting work at this point. We are waiting for my interim clearance to come through so I can start working at the embassy. For those who don't know I got a part time job as the housing coordinator, so I will be working at the embassy and hopefully will be able to pursue some personal photo projects in my off time. I have to say I have enjoyed having the time to get everything organized and in it's place without having to worry about a job! I count it as a blessing.

I will post more photos soon of the house!
