A new town, a new home

Since our wedding two months ago, we have resided in the town of Ashland and are really enjoying it so far!  Our first impressions of the quaint college town have stayed true as we have learned the area in better detail.  There are a lot of Victorian homes near our apartment and they display the history of the area.  The week prior the 4th of July, the town became adorned with the colors red, white, and blue--American flags posted on all of the street poles and every street corner throughout the entire town.  The flag means a lot to us, so you can imagine how impressed we were with our new town!  I remember asking my neighbor where the post office and library was the first few weeks we lived here...well, in this town, practically everything is either on Main St. or Claremont!  I remember driving on Claremont looking for the post office and never seeing it.  It didn't even occur to me that I should check the opposite side of Claremont!  I've learned quickly, and so has BJ.  Our apartment definitely feels like home to us now, though we are still finding things to move around or hang on the walls :)  We feel incredibly blessed to be able to fill our apartment with gifts of furniture from our families and bargains from craigslist!
