I've been back from Nepal for about a month now and boy how life has changed. In that month Jim and I have both started working, we rented a house, and we're in the process of unpacking the storage unit and getting all our things under one roof.
Our house is on my favorite street in Auburn - Payne Street. It is in the historic downtown area and is just 2 blocks from Toomer's Corner. The house was built in 1936. It has lots of charm and we love it.
Here are a few pictures, and there will be more to come as we make it our own.

Now for work.
Jim and I are both working and loving our jobs.
Jim is working for his dad's hotel development business. Right now he is doing a little bit of everything to get to know the ins and outs of the hotel business.
As for me, I'm working for Auburn University. The International Hunger Institute was just recently approved and they hired me to handle the communications, social media, and to manage the website. I'll be doing a lot of work with Universities Fighting World Hunger, serving as the unofficial coordinator of sorts to help bring some organization to what has already been done and get some momentum going to build the movement. This is the perfect job for me. It is challenging and fun, and I'm working with amazing people.
Libby is adjusting well to her new home. She's had a lot of changes this month, but she's doing well. She also got spayed a few weeks ago and she has made a full recovery. Tomorrow morning we're going to
Doxie Palooza. Libby is really excited and she's looking forward to making some American friends!
Ciao for now!
