Moving to Newport, RI

I know I never update this site. But how is this for news? I got my PhD from MIT and received a job from NUWC in Newport, RI. I had to deny my Canadian citizenship to get it, but lets face it I am really an American so no big deal. This means we had to find a new place to live. We looked at a lot of places online and then a lot of homes for sale, then for rent. It was a difficult decision and I am still not sure what the best thing to do was. Thanks to the housing and banking scandals we couldn't get a home without a down payment even though we are first time home buyers, but as you can see from the videos below it turned out pretty well. We got into a beautiful home near a sandy beach with three bedrooms and room for a guest, and a pool. So come visit us soon. Honestly, we live in an amzing area and we feel really lucky to have landed into such a nice place. We looked at about 3 dozen other homes online and 4 others in person and all were not nearly as nice as this one, so I am glad we stuck it out to the end. I am also relieved that our search is over! Now I just have to submit my thesis edits, finish writing a paper and graduate all in the next two weeks!

Sleepy


Once in a while when the kids wake me up in the night I can't resist taking their picture. This one reminds me of sponge bob! Sorry Gus, you are forever immortalized with a booger in your nose!
