Our first week in Raleigh...

our first week here in Raleigh  wasn't as eventful

as i would have hoped. the apartment wasn't

 up to par so we've had some help from management

to get it in better shape. 

kind of a bummer it was like that but we are 

making progress slowly. 

on a better note, joel is loving his new job 

and gets along great with his

team of creative geniuses :)

because of all the renos, we had a good time checking out restaurants,movie theaters, 

home decor shops {World Market!},

and spending time together just exploring.

we love the area so far & are also in the process

of trying to find a home church...

all in time. 

we'll keep you updated with our progress...enjoy your week!
