Back at the Cafe!

What's on the table tonight? Well, John is enjoying my favorite: a turtle moo. What is it? It's a steamer with a shot of chocolate and a shot of caramel. Takes me back to my ski team days. My cup? What a bummer it is to order spiced cider, get the cup, take a sip, and discover it's from a mix. Still warm though...

So yes, we've made it back. Before the updates some have been asking for, let me share good news. Internet is being hooked up in 8 days. My wonderful husband was patiently persistent and finally got through to someone (the 5th person he talked to) who could run an American credit check. That means we'll be able to talk on the phone again...we've missed you and your voices!

Next thing: pics of our new place. We took some and then enjoyed it would be much more fun to make a video. Sorry about the bad lighting. We get so much light from the huge windows during the day and there's lots of light at night for us but it of course looks different through the lens. Enjoy...



A few additions that must be made to the video's commentary:
1) Did you notice the windows?
2) How about the dishwasher?
3) The full-length mirrors are great for John's daily moonwalking practice session.
4) Anybody notice the windows? Not as notable when the blinds are closed, but they're there!
5) Outside our front door is a patio, a small lovely backyard that we get to ourselves, and a grill that we get to use!
6) We forgot to mention the storage closet - great for all that stuff we used to store in the 2nd bedroom.
7) Did I mention the windows?

We're really loving the place. Our old home was very nice but ever since we moved I've realized how down I felt and how little motivation we had to really do anything. There's really something to bright sunlight!

Love the new place!!!!! Great video. I think my fave part was the first five seconds. John, you should go into acting! Charlotte I am so happy that you mentioned that the closet was behind the mirrors. Two reasons why 1.)I miss your voice! 2.) I miss your voice!

I got a tour of your house from 1/2 way around the world! Awesome... maybe we'll try to do the same for you once we move in. :)

Thanks for the whirlwind tour! I'm glad I can rewatch it. I love your new place. I love the windows and the kitchen and the fireplace and the windows... I'm happy for you.

Yes! You forgot to mention the storage closet, the room I spent most of my time at your place! I think I grew quite fond of it.
Anyways your place definitely looks better with the sunlight!

Jeehoon,

Good point, I forgot to mention the closet! It's spacious and (thanks to you) neatly organized. You're welcome to come over and organize it some more, if you miss it...
