Quantico Sentinel, Vol. 1, Issue 2
Well, we are now officially living in our house, with our stuff. But it was quite a ride getting to this point...
After living in Springfield for exactly 1 week, in a motel under an overpass, we decided that enough was enough. We couldn't stand eating at crappy all-American franchises any longer, we felt crummy because we couldn't exercise after eating at said crappy restaurants(neither of us were inclined to jog along the highway in 40°C heat), and we were sick of coming back to the hotel to see it surrounded by police cars. The stress was taking its toll, so we went to Wal*Mart, bought an air mattress and some sheets and towels, and moved into an empty house for two days before the movers finally arrived. It's not saying much for the Red Roof Inn that we were more comfortable camping out in our new master bedroom than staying with them any longer.
Our neighbourhood is quite nice. Dexter is a rock star. The local kids keep calling on him to come out and play. He's pretty much over his fear of people less than 4 feet tall, so he's never been happier.
Capt Mike is returning to Canada tonight to go to the Maxville highland games, so Dexter and I will have the weekend to ourselves to explore the area a little further. Wish us luck!
