Settling In
After two weeks of traveling from Wilmginton to St. Louis, St. Loius to Omaha, Omaha to St. Louis, and finally St. Louis back to Omaha, I’m no longer on the move.
Like the old house, the new house has lots of windows and high ceilings, which means lots of light. And keeping with the other features of the old house, it’s a corner lot (fewer leaves for this house, I think, but a lot more snow), it’s near a major city park, and it is within walking distance of the other university in town.
One thing the new house has that the old house did not is a Frigidaire Flair oven. We were going to replace it, but I looked it up online and it’s got quite a following. It’s also the oven used by Samantha Stevens, although ours is a single rather than double bay model. 
One of the coolest features of this oven is that the door opens up rather than down. Who ever decided it was a good idea to make us lean over a hot door to reach into an oven?

- Four separate sets of plans canceled on me this weekend. With few friends in this state, that's an epic failure.
More pics of the house, please!
That other university must be UNO. My department chair is moving to Omaha next week to be dean of CAS!
I’ll see if I can dig up the pictures Tracey took of the house when she came out to go house hunting. I’ll also try to take some new ones, but most of our stuff is still in boxes.
The other university is UNO. So they’re going to have a dean from English Studies? Very cool.
