New house

Finding a place to land in Illinois proved to be quite a challenge.  But about 1 week before we arrived here, we found a great place to rent with a great yard.  The house is 1 block from the town pool and a big park.  We are near stores and less than 2 miles from my school.  Almost one week exactly (to the minute!), we had all boxes put away, everything unpacked, and pictures hung.  Now we'll need to get down to the nitty gritty stuff (like getting light bulbs in sockets...)

PS - Sorry some of the pictures are kinda dark.  I lacked motivation/desire to fix them...
