Hi

Thanks to everyone who has left comments for me, it is so great to open up my email and find encouragement when I feel so displaced. But now I feel much better, I have the studio up and running, plus we are starting to buy furniture. I love, LOVE that process. First purchase was 6 leather dining chairs from the 50's via craigslist. We paid $120 for all of them! I think it is the deal of the century.
Still have not decided on anything major like paint colors or anything, but we have just been so distracted. First off, we have to see everyone now that we are back, so lots of social engagements, and also we have added a new member to our family, Saki. She is a sweet little puppy that my parents gave us and I am happily settling into a new schedule with her.
