Our Nueva Casita

We finally moved into our new place about two weeks ago! It feels good to have our own space even though we really enjoyed our temporary housing and are grateful for the generosity that was shown to us! We decided to put our awesome Flip video camera (a present last Christmas) to use and take you all on a little tour. Please disregard the part where Lucia attacks me. She was just in a playful mood... :)



The best things about our new place:
  • Cute little garden with room for Lucia to run around!
  • Back porch to sit and relax
  • Shower with HOT water and good water pressure
  • Oven (a lot of people only have stove tops)
  • Guest room for visitors *hint hint* Come visit!!! :)
  • MUCH further away from the river (less danger of flooding)
The not so awesome things:
  • No internet (I am trying to enjoy being less connected, but it's tough!)
  • No microwave- a pain for reheating food, but not a huge problem
  • A little buggy at night- Thankfully a friend recently gave me an army supply of bug spray, mosquito coils, etc. Thanks Esther! ;)
Let us know what you think in the comments section below! Want to see more videos? If so, of what? Our town? Our office? Give us some ideas and we'll try to make them! :)

  1. I love it! Your video even had suspense and a death-defying rescue from the jaws of Lucia. :) Such a cute home you have; I love the tile floors, wood ceiling, lush backyard.... Thanks for sharing! So good to hear your voice, Rachel! :)
