Stormy winds

There's a tropical storm twirling off the Atlantic coast, a few hundred miles from here. Even with the distance, we're feeling the effects. The day has been overcast, with fast-moving clouds, strong winds, and occassional spits of rain. A. got rained on the other day during a downpour when we were leaving Target, and once today when we were visiting a house. It's her first exposure to rain, and she really wasn't sure what to think of it.

We spent the day looking at rental houses. JJ's been sick since our flights out here, so he's had a miserable time. We looked at 5 houses, spread out all over the area and in a big range of rent prices. We found one that has a great monthly price but is fairly generic. Money-wise, it's a great bet, but the place isn't exciting. Then there's the Lake Katherine house, which is just as great in person as in the pictures. I'm trying to negotiate a reasonable price -- still more than we'd hoped to spend, but it's maintainable for a limited time. It's just a great house, and I'm really hoping we can get it.

It's good to hear that the storm isn't affecting you guys too much, we were wondering about that. Lily and I are going to Danville tomorrow to do some shopping. We are going to miss our trips with you and Atlee =(
