Providence, Rhode Island

I. Love. Providence. New England has definitely taken some getting used to but it is slowly growing on me. We moved from Lincoln, RI to Providence, RI last month. While the move was a very unexpected disturbance-our land lady decided to sell the house to owners who didn't want tenants-everything has worked out for the best and I am happy we made the move. After all I always wanted to live in the city. Now I am closer to work and 2 minutes from my beloved Whole Foods.

Below is the house we are renting and our street. EVERYTHING is old in this part of the country. Both of the houses we have lived in were built in 1890. I was beyond weirded out at first, living in a house that so many others had been in before, but I have come to adore the history. The homes are large and beautiful, many with original floors, windows and cabinets. There is a certain charm that comes with things that old. Many of the homes, including ours are multi family: 2-3 independently functioning sections in the home. We have 2 other "families" living in ours.

This is the first time I will be experiencing a real fall. Back home in Texas the leaves just eventually turn brown and fall off the tree and it seems to stay warm through most of the season. Here the air is turning cool and crisp and the leaves are just starting to move to hues of orange and red. I'm so excited for a of the fall activities that will be happening in the next few weeks!!!!

On a side note, lil man had his teeth cleaned yesterday under general anesthesia. He did so well, didn't bite anyone and even gave kisses. This is much unlike most vet visits, or really any contact with anyone besides me, so I'm quite pleased.
