North Carolina: Week One

It's all a bit of a blur. I posted pictures on facebook to "say a thousand words" to capture the last two weeks at Maine, which were filled with the company of friends and family: steaming up lobsters, playing flag football, walking through downtown Portland in the rain, interacting with Moose and chipmunks, going to the arcade at the beach, and swinging at the nearby park. Since then, we've visited our PA people and my family in NC on our way to our rotation at Duke University, where we are now settling.
The house that we're renting comes complete with two quite-large cats and is filled with artwork of all kinds and surrounded by rose bushes and woods. Even though the neighbors are within sight, it feels secluded and peaceful. However, for some reason, I'm a little more afraid of this rotation. This was the area that we wanted to go to most, and I've had this dream of settling in the south for some time. However, it may be just me, but it seems that things aren't off to the smoothest start ever, and I just have this feeling...
I'll keep you posted.
p.s. (I'll feel a bit safer when my Mother leaves. I LOVE her to death, but she has this way of creating "boon-doggles" as my Dad calls them. Somehow, the most innocent act can turn into disaster with her. lol) The "jury's out" on this rotation, and I'll keep you posted with more information.
