We finally took our house hunting trip to NJ this past week, and although it was raining most of the week, we managed to find a townhome that we liked (in Parsippany, NJ) and signed a lease to rent the place.

The townhome won’t be ready until August 1st, which means we’ll be staying in corporate housing for the first few months, but that’ll help us save some money from the get-go.

Ryland was great during the long flight over to NJ and did pretty well considering the rain, living in a hotel for 5 days, and the nightly restaurants that his parent’s took him to while taking full advantage of a fully-paid trip to NJ.

Our ETA to NJ is now around the 3-week mark and hopefully the time here on the West Coast will go by slowly so that we can spend as much time as we can with our friends and family. One thing is for sure, it was nice to get off the plane, arrive in LAX, and go home.
