Finally Home

After a hectic month, Mike and I are finally able to say we are "home" being that we've been able to sleep in our own house for a week! It was a crazy few weeks and feels wonderful to stay put for awhile.

We are slowly learning the nuances of Springfield. First being that alcohol is not sold in any grocery store and can only be purchased at a spattering of liquor stores which are not located anywhere close to the markets. Second, there is no such thing as a garage or yard sale, but rather these things called "tag sales". Third, unlike Cincinnati, there is not a surplus of family doctors here, making it difficult to find a PCP that is actually accepting new patients.

We've also discovered several positives. First is that it takes less than 10 minutes to get anywhere in the Springfield area including CT. Second, morning runs are flat and the routes are endless. Third, I can ride my bike on the street and don't have to fear for my life of getting run over.

We hope to go on our first New England adventure Sunday. The weather is to be gorgeous and the countryside is whispering our names.
