A new place, a new beginning

Finally, we've moved to our new place in Lakeview, Arkansas. It is a very small town, mostly populated with retired Americans, 2 miles away from Bull Shoals Lake, which houses a huge Corps of Engineers powerhouse where hubby works. Back in Ozark, we live less than a mile away from the powerhouse. You see, he likes to live close to his work. I can't blame him. The closer to work, the easier and inexpensive the commute will be. So we did a little searching for a possible house to rent in this area. There are apartments to rent, manufactured homes for sale, a few nice houses for lease and a bunch of decent houses for sale. But we didn't want to buy a house right away without getting familiar of the place yet and making sure he likes his new job. The last thing we want is to be stuck in a town that we're not happy to be at or a job that he hates just because we couldn't sell the house easily. So we stick to the renting plan for at least 6 months or so and see if we like it here. And we are lucky to find a decent house to rent that's proximate to his work place in just a very short notice. I like the neighborhood. So far it's quiet and the wooded area seems to add beauty to the neighborhood. Anyway, let me give you a quick tour of our new humble abode. Boxes are still everywhere, I apologize for the unpleasant sight but we'll try to get everything unpacked before my big vacation next week.
