Update on 'Running away from the Rat Race'

So we dove into the house search last weekend and have made some good progress.  I believe we have the neighborhoods narrowed down so that we don't go chasing things that are beyond where we'd like to live.  Durham is and interesting and very unique town in that neighborhood is everything when finding a place to live.  You can't just say, the whole of such-and-such area is a great place to live because things change here in fairly short distances and you have to pay attention to what the particular neighborhood you're looking in is like.  We've also made significant progress on prepping the house to put on the market.  With family coming into town we had serious motivation to get more things done as well.  We had my parents for the weekend and will have my brothers and my niece & nephew joining us on Wednesday.  The plan for now is to have the house up soon after they all return to the glorious state of Minnesota.
Please, if you know someone looking to move to Durham and then need 3 bedrooms and 1600 sq ft, let us know.

For all my Durham loving friends!

Rachel and I were talking last night about continuing to grown in our love for Durham and desire to serve it well.  She was re-counting to me some thoughts she had as she drove around downtown Saturday stopping off at different places.  So we find this town continues to grow on us and we find ourselves enjoying it more and more.

Well I read this morning in the Durham Magazine blog that we are definitely not alone!  Check out this short article to see what I'm talking about and join us in loving this city!
