So it's been a while...and I've had to come to the conclusion I might never get fully caught up on the blog (especially since half of my pictures are trapped on a camera in Maryland right now!) But I can at least bring everyone up to date.
Kris and I moved out here in July/August and quickly had to establish our new routine since classes started the second week of August. Thus far everything is going really well. We both are loving the Doctoral program here although it's keeping us on our toes. Our assistanships are keeping us busy and thus far I've managed to accumulate a decent size private teaching studio plus find a few gigs here and there. I did start my own quartet out here for the purpose of gigs and we have a website if anyone wants to check it out:
www.riversidequartet.com
I have to admit how much fun it is not only to be surrounded by music again all the time but to always know that Kris is nearby. There have been a couple of times when I've had a rough day and to just be able to walk into his office and talk (or cry) has been amazing.
So in case any of your missed it we have already seen our first snowfall in West Virginia thanks to Hurricane Sandy. Here's a view from our front door (this was a few days after the snowfall so it had significantly melted by then):
The cats are all adjusting really well. They *LOVE* their new home, especially because it has stairs. All of them are constantly running up and down the stairs (even the older ones). Clare has been more accepted into the group since we moved (we have seen her and Elijah and her Wicket cuddled up grooming each other). They also recently got a new toy which will be the subject of a later post once I have some pictures.

Thus far we are so thankful to be here and we can't wait to see what the next 3 years has in store for us!
