Beginning to Get Settled

After a stressful move, a week-long trip back to H'town to visit family, and a return to St. Louis, I think we might be starting to get settled. We've rented a duplex in University City, just a couple blocks from Washington University. We're right down the street from stores, restaurants, bars, and (Spence's favorite) - the Metro.


So far, each morning, we've gotten up and walked 10 minutes to the local coffee shop, Kaldi's, for a morning pick-us-up. We have to walk right by the Metro which usually requires us to wait a few minutes for Spence to get his daily choo-choo fix.


After that, Jarrod is off to study and Spence and I are on our own to explore. Today we found a nice playground and an incredible grocery story. Unfortunately, I won't be able to frequent that grocery store if we ever plan on saving a little money! It was ridiculous nice....I'm sure my mom will love it! :)


Anyway, the majority of the boxes are unpacked and things are slowly starting to feel like a "new" normal. Transitions, however, are hard. Both Spence and Sadie have had diarrhea (TMI?) and with Sadie's barking when we're not at the duplex, we're having to consider finding her a new home. :( Keep us in your prayers as we try to get everyone (and everything) settled before I start work next Tuesday. Missing family already...but excited for this chapter.

Our new address is:
7339 Lindell Blvd.
University City, MO 63130

Love, The Taylors
