I kept waiting until I had pictures of Chapel Hill to post, but since that is not happening I decided to just write a quick entry.
Dallas and I are settled here in Chapel Hill, NC and have been here for about 2 months. I can't believe how fast time moves. Dallas is enjoying school for the most part- and so far he doesn't seem too much busier than normal (except he has a few more late nights).
I was really lucky and I found a job after one week! I was hired through UNC's temp service to work in the Scholarship and Student Aid Office and then a permanent position opened up there and they hired me for that! So now hopefully Dallas can qualify for in-state tuition because his spouse is a university employee. The job is definitely "low-stress" which is what I wanted- but I spend a lot of time doing mundane tasks like filing and alphabitizing etc.... still I will make as much as I did teaching- so no more complaining!
We live in the married student housing- with about 30 other LDS couples- I feel super fortunate because I was so worried about having friends here. I already feel like I have made some good friends and that has made the transition much easier.
Okay- I will hopefully write more later (I always say that!)and post some pics. It looks as though I am the last roommate without a blog- maybe someday when I have baby pictures to post I wil start one!
I hope everyone is enjoying fall- we are waiting for the "mild" temps here.

Lauren it's so great to hear from you! I'm glad you're getting settled into your new place and makeing friends.
By the way...You DO NOT have to have a baby in order to have a blog, if I can do it anyone can! Plus I'd love to see pics of you and where you live and anything else that would give better insight into what you're up to these days... :)
Thanks for the update!
